Last night, I attended an event at the Peruvian Ambassador’s residence in DC. The event promoted Mitsura, the largest international gastronomic fair of Latin America, which will be held from September 5 to September 15 in Lima, Perú. We even sampled some of Chef Ricardo Zarate wonderful Peruvan dishes; he is one of the best Peruvian chefs in the United States (a Food & Wine Magazine 2012 Rising Star Chef) and owner of Picca and Mo-chica restaurants in Los Angeles. And, the delicious pisco sours flowed.
