I agree completely, and certainly within South America there’s no question that the Peruvians are at the forefront of the “modern interpretation” of their cuisine. It’s something happening all over the world, bit by bit – I’m sure that the internet, social media, international broadcasting of television and distribution of movies, have played a huge role in that – the ability to really get a sense from afar of other cuisines, of new techniques, etc., opens up a world of possibility. It’s the modern version of “armchair traveling”. It can, however, for the diner, be a bit rough as the shakeout occurs and they find themselves subjected to dishes that in more experienced hands would never have made it out of the kitchen.

It was also started by younger chefs. It is beginning to take hold. I think we owe a debt of gratitude to the Peruvians, who showed that a country’s cooking can be interpreted in many ways and exported.
