Peru officially establishes Peruvian Cuisine Week

20-09-22

Peruvian Cuisine Week will take place on the second Saturday of September every year. In this way, it is also intended to promote the care of the land and the preservation of traditional culinary techniques, forged over time through the picanterías and chicherías, with the aim of strengthening the identity of the country's regions.

"Cooking is an activity that fills us with pride and unites us as a country, as it represents the work of our ancestors, who were able to gradually turn the products of the land and the sea into regional cuisines that nourished our ancestors for centuries," said Minister Roberto Sánchez.
