Eating Peru

Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806193328
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Today, Peru is recognized as one of the top food destinations on the planet. But twenty-five years ago, the world’s foodies focused their attention elsewhere—except for wine merchant–turned–archaeologist and art historian Robert Bradley. This delightful book is the product of twenty-five years of exquisite digressions from what Bradley might call his “real job”—the culmination of decades of his personal discoveries about the food of Peru and the history that led to its current culinary florescence. Journeying from coasts to highlands and back again, the intrepid author introduces us to the most interesting aspects of Peruvian cuisine that he encounters along the way, with several recipes included. Bradley sizzles about Peruvian ceviche, pisco and the pisco sour, and the country’s best restaurants—two ranked in the top ten by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2023. He does this all while sampling food lore, Andean anthropology, history, linguistics, and the pleasures and perils of travel within Peru. For the armchair tourist or the seasoned traveler, the gourmet and the gourmand, and the merely curious, Eating Peru offers a welcome break from everyday fare.

Diet, Nutrition, and Foodways on the North Coast of Peru
Author: Bethany L. Turner
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030426149
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book synthesizes in-depth bioarchaeological research into diet, subsistence regimes, and nutrition—and corresponding insights into adaptation, suffering, and resilience—among indigenous north-coastal Peruvian communities from early agricultural through European colonial periods. The Spanish invasion and colonization of Andean South America left millions dead, landscapes transformed, and traditional ways of life annihilated. However, the nature and magnitude of these changes were far from uniform. By the time the Spanish arrived, over four millennia of complex societies had emerged and fallen, and in the 16th century, the region was home to the largest and most expansive indigenous empire in the western hemisphere. Decades of Andean archaeological and ethnohistorical research have explored the incredible sophistication of regional agropastoral traditions, the importance of food and feasting as mechanisms of control, and the significance of maritime economies in the consolidation of complex polities. Bioarchaeology is particularly useful in studying these processes. Beyond identifying what resources were available and how they were prepared, bioarchaeological methods provide unique opportunities and humanized perspectives to reconstruct what individuals actually ate, and whether their diets changed within their own lifespans.

Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race
Author: María Elena García
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520972309
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
In recent years, Peru has transformed from a war-torn country to a global high-end culinary destination. Connecting chefs, state agencies, global capital, and Indigenous producers, this “gastronomic revolution” makes powerful claims: food unites Peruvians, dissolves racial antagonisms, and fuels development. Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race critically evaluates these claims and tracks the emergence of Peruvian gastropolitics, a biopolitical and aesthetic set of practices that reinscribe dominant racial and gendered orders. Through critical readings of high-end menus and ethnographic analysis of culinary festivals, guinea pig production, and national-branding campaigns, this work explores the intersections of race, species, and capital to reveal links between gastronomy and violence in Peru.
