Ceviche

Do you see all those flags on this book  Those are recipes I am going to make!

Martin Morale’s Ceviche — Peruvian Kitchen is a trip to Peru from your own kitchen.  Don’t let the name Ceviche fool you – this book is more than just ceviche recipes.  There is one chapter on Ceviche — other chapters include Street Food (my favorite), Meat, Vegetarian, Desserts, Drinks and more.  There is a chapter on the Peruvian larder and a list of suppliers for ingredients that might not be in your neighborhood market.

Just a few of the recipes I have bookmarked for cooking up after vacation are:

Bolas De Yuca  — Cassava and Cheese Croquettes (if I can’t find cassava — I’ll substitute potatoes, yams or something similar).  I don’t let ingredients that I may not be able to find stop me.  You can always substitute.

Tequenos De Aji De Gallina — Chicken Spring Rolls — these looks like no spring roll I have had before – very crispy and full of flavor from pecans, Parmesan cheese, cumin and more!

Costillas Con Sauco — Pork Ribs with Elderberry Sauce — easy to find ingredients — with a recipe for Elderberry Jelly included – and they look incredibly tasty.

Picarones — Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Doughnuts — I love a good doughnut!

I highly recommend this book if you are interested in expanding your cooking repertoire.

We’re off to points West in a week – we are very excited.  I am most excited about seeing my pal, Pam for lunch on the 4th!  Have a great holiday everyone.

Thanks for visiting.
