Indulge in the flavors of South America, specifically Peru, as we embark on a culinary journey through Lima's vibrant neighborhoods. In Miraflores, Conchas Toshi awaits with their tantalizing dish - scallops in Tiger Milk. The delicate seafood paired with the zesty marinade will transport your taste buds to the shores of Peru. Venturing further into Lima, San Ignacio beckons us to savor Arracacha a la Juliana. This delectable dish features arracacha cooked to perfection and coated in coconut flour for an added touch of tropical goodness. Back in Lima itself, prepare yourself for a Causa trio that will leave you craving more. With ceviche, chinguirito, and salmon with dill all beautifully presented on one plate, this combination showcases the diverse flavors and textures that Peruvian cuisine has to offer. Traveling back in time to Les Gourmands era between 1780-1820 brings us face-to-face with anonymous creators who paved the way for gastronomic delights we enjoy today. Benjamin Marriott stands out as a legendary figure known for his insatiable appetite and love for food. Thomas Rowlandson's "Discomforts of an Epicure" captures both humor and truth about the pleasures and challenges faced by those who truly appreciate fine dining during this period. Fast forward to 1866 when The Cafe Riche introduced its new kitchens - a revolutionary step towards elevating culinary experiences even further. A black-and-white photo from that time allows us a glimpse into this momentous occasion. "The Alderman, " depicted in color lithography, reminds us of how indulgence was often associated with wealth during this era while an illustration portrays an Epicurean enjoying life's gustatory pleasures without restraint. Phil May's cartoon from the 1890s satirizes society's obsession with overindulgence through his portrayal of greediness.
