Ají Amarillo, as most people know, is one of the most used types of ají in Peruvian cuisine. This pepper which is actually a bright orange color, brings the final touch to meals with its characteristic juicy, fruity and aromatic taste.
Similar in spice levels to Cayenne peppers, the Ají Amarillo is the most preferred ingredient to spice recipes and it even makes up the most known sauce in Peru, the Huancaína sauce. OurKosmos Gourmet Ají Amarillo paste is ready to be added to your preparations and it incorporates deliciously and with ease to any kind of mix.
Another cultural icon of Peruvian gastronomy, Ají Panca might be also a pepper but it certainly has nothing to do with its yellow cousin. Use widely in Peruvian kitchens for its sweet tinge that reminds us of berries and its distinctive earthy and smoky undertones.

Peru is a landlocked country located in South America. Spanning an area of more than 300,000 square kilometers, it has a diverse geography, including high altitudes and Andes Mountains.
There are over 33 indigenous groups living in Peru today, each with its customs and traditions. As a result, Peruvian cuisine is as varied as the country itself, with influences from all over the world.
Peruvian food is a mix of Indigenous and Spanish influences. There are many different types of Peruvian food, but some of the most popular dishes include rice and chicken dishes, potato and cheese dishes, seafood, and plantains.
Peruvian cuisine mixes indigenous Andean, Spanish, and African influences. There are many different types of Peruvian food, including staples like potato, corn, and quinoa; meats like chicken, beef, and lamb; seafood like shrimp and fish; and desserts like chocolates, pastries, and flan.
Peruvian food mixes native Andean, Spanish, and African influences. In the early colonial period, Spaniards introduced potatoes, chickens, corns, and pigs to the Andes.
Africans brought their knowledge of rice cultivation and tropical fruits such as avocados. Consequently, there is a great variety of Peruvian cuisine that can be classified into regions: the coast (with its seafood emphasis), the highlands (heavy on quinoa and chicken dishes), the jungle (focused on llamas and vegetables), and the capital city of Lima with its diversity of restaurants catering to every budget.
Peruvian cuisine is unique in terms of its flavor profile. The flavors are often bolder than those found in other Latin American countries and can include ingredients like chilies, garlic, cilantro, and tomatoes. Dishes can be highly spiced or seasoned with salt.
There are also many vegetarian options available in Peru, including several types of potato dishes and a wide variety of soups and stews. Many Peruvians also enjoy traditional desserts such as pasteles (traditional doughnuts) and pisco tamales (a type of dumpling filled with sweetened condensed milk).
-Use mild spices. Peruvian cuisine is dominated by spices like cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Use these sparingly to enhance the flavour of the food without overpowering it.
-Simmer your food. Overcooked food can be challenging and dry. Simmer your Peruvian dishes over low heat to ensure they're tender and tasty.
Peruvian cuisine is a mix of indigenous Andean and Spanish cooking, heavily emphasising vegetables, meat, and seafood. Dishes can be spicy or mild, hearty or light, and many are seasoned with traditional Peruvian spices such as cilantro, garlic, and chili peppers.
Some of the most popular Peruvian dishes include Arroz chaufa (rice pudding), Camarones al ajillo (shrimp fried in garlic), ceviche (raw fish), and Comida Criolla (creole food).
Peruvian food is famous for its delicious desserts. There are countless types of desserts, but some of the most popular include alfajores (a type of cookie), churros (fried dough balls), and pisco sours.
Peruvian desserts are usually light and sweet, with flavours that vary depending on the region. Some of the most popular desserts include tiramisu, rosquillas (a pastry), guava tart, and Peruvian chocolate cake.
