We at Aracari feel quite proud of Gastón Acurio’s achievements as the
ambassador of Peruvian cuisine abroad and locally. He has even managed to
instil much pride and a needed sense of identity amongst Peruvians.
There are many restaurants in Lima and Cusco, and whereas we like the Acurio restaurants we prefer smaller places, such as La Gloria and Rafael in Lima and Cicciolina in Cusco. Nonetheless we admire him for all that he has done for our cuisine. Kudos to him!
On that same note we would love to share an article by Naomi Mapstone, with those Aracari fans who haven’t read it yet, “Teaching the world to love Peruvian cuisine“.
Also check out another FT article written by her back in November called “After Machu Picchu try Tacu Tacu” where she mentions Aracari’s CEO Marisol Mosquera and our star cuisine guide Adrián Macedo.
Great post
