The Arequipa shrimp: myths and truths

UNSA (Sala Mariano Melgar)
Read more
The shrimp native to the Arequipa rivers, such as the Majes, the Ocoña and the Tambo, is a culinary treasure that needs to be protected and preserved. At this event, we explore the cultural, historical and economic value of this emblematic product from the Peruvian larder, as well as its relationship with the Arequipa area. There will be a discussion of the possibility of giving the product a designation of origin, a label that recognises its authenticity and quality, as well as how that might offer benefits both to producers and consumers while also ensuring sustainable growth and preserving its distinctive qualities. Discussing these matters will be the experts Blanca Chávez and Mónica Huerta. In conversation with Cecilia Valenzuela.

Instituto Cultural Peruano Alemán
Read more
The ingredients, techniques and culinary heritage of Arequipa have a central presence in contemporary Peruvian cuisine. Their influence goes beyond the country’s borders and defines our gastronomic identity. The last Somos Awards confirmed that the public throughout Peru has an interest in (and appetite for) this cuisine, rooted in a tradition that is National Cultural Heritage and which has produced various contemporary versions. How can this tradition be kept alive? Is there space for purism and for the avant-garde? Erick Díaz, from Chicha restaurant, Mónica Huerta Alpaca, picantera at La Nueva Palomino and Alfonso Núñez, from the restaurant 13 Monjas will talk to Nora Sugobono, Editor of Somos magazine.
