Peru Culinary Schools

Thinking about attending a culinary school in Peru? You may have stumbled onto one of the greatest culinary secrets of the world: Peru is actually one of the greatest culinary treasures! Because of its incredible history--occupation by Spanish, Basque, African, Sino-Cantonese, Japanese, Italian, French and finally the British--and its unique willingness to openly embrace each culture, Peru has culinary influences from four continents. This means that along the Peruvian coast there are over 2,000 "traditional" soups, and at least 250 desserts! Peruvian chef Gaston Acurio Jaramillo has taken this incredibly diverse culinary history and parlayed into a successful career as a restaurant owner (in Lima and Madrid and Panama), cookbook author, and television star. If you are hoping to become a chef in Peru, you will not only learn about Peru's amazing culinary legacy but also study the cuisines of the world.
