I've only met Virgilio in passing as the wine director of his acclaimed restaurant Central, in Lima, is a friend of mine. This book is not based on the modernist style cuisine of that restaurant, but rather on that of his duo of restaurants called Lima, both in London. It's a more casual, accessible style of cooking, particularly for home cooks. I love that it makes use of the indigenous ingredients of Peru, but shows how to work with them in ways that any good home cook should find relatively easy to do. Some great recipe and ingredient combination ideas. It's not particularly a "read", as it's about 90% recipes, and I'd have liked more narrative about how these ideas came about, and the exploration of the ingredients, but, so be it, "the cookbook" is right in the title.
