VTV.vn - The Embassy of Peru in Vietnam hosted a Peruvian Cuisine Week for the first time from July 27th to 31st as part of activities celebrating Peruvian Independence Day.

Peruvian food is widely known as one of the world’s most healthy cuisines. Ceviche is a popular dish of the country. Being cooked without heat, the fish retains all of its nutrients.  

Aldo Vargas, Chef in Hilton Lima Hotel, Peru, said: "Ceviche in Peru is as popular as noodles and rice in Vietnam. We cook it whenever we feel happy. Think of Ceviche as a typical trait in Peruvian culture".

According to Peruvian chefs at the event, a strict selection of the freshest ingredients and a strong passion for cooking are important factors in making a delicious dish.

The two-hour cooking demonstration impressed guests with a vast and colorful range of dishes. It served to further boost cultural exchange between the two countries.
