I've been waiting months for this cookbook to be released by my favorite Peruvian chef, Ricardo Zarate. Los Angeles has had a bustling Peruvian restaurant scene for at least 15 years (Mario's, El Pollo Inka to name a few), but Zarate's Mo-Chia and Picca took Peruvian food to a new level by incorporating quality ingredients (along with smaller portions) and adding a bit of a Japanese flair to his dishes.This cookbook is not your traditional Peruvian cookbook. Zarate even states in his recipes that some ingredients or techniques are not traditional. If you want a good all purpose Peruvian cookbook, grab "The Everything Peruvian Cookbook".Yes I might be biased, but this is by far the best Peruvian cookbook that in my collection of three (Everything Peruvian, The Fire of Peru, andPeru). Here's why:1) The other two cookbooks I have (Everything Peruvian and Peru) are nice cookbooks but there is a lot of ambiguity in those recipes especially since they try to cram 100s of recipes. The Fire gives you tips on what to do and what not to do. The recipes are a lot more detailed. For example, in the saltado recipe, Zarate recommends you make a saltado sauce and then drizzle it on the edge of the wok to carmelize the sauce. Quality over quantity.2) The Fire is tailored and written for a home cook in the US, not in Peru. Therefore the recipes minimize the obscure ingredients. Yes you will need a few Peruvian stapes: aji amarillo, aji panca, aji rocoto and Japanese staples: yuzu kosho, mirin, shoyu, but once you have these kitchen staples, you should be able to make most recipes. All these fluffy cookbooks requiring obscure ingredients to make one recipe in the cookbook. Who realistically has time to seek out a virgin baby unicorn's tear drops for one recipe?3) The aesthetics of the cookbook are top notch. The paper quality, the pictures, and the size of the book are top notch. You can lay it flat and open to actually use as a cookbook, go figure.4) The editing is well done. Easy to read and understand, unlike "Peru". The stories that lead into the recipes are interesting. Of course, I'm a bit biased.The only negative is the cookbook could have probably used a handful more recipes to fill the book out more. I would have enjoyed a few more of Zarate's touch on some other common Peruvian dishes like Pescado a lo Macho or Arroz con Mariscos.COMMENT ADDED 11/25/15: I have made Zarate's Lomo Saltado in my new 65000 BTU wok burner (must have very high heat) and the dish was absolutely mind-blowing good. On par with the dish he served at Mo-Chica. The lomo is better than 95% of the 30+ Peruvian restaurants that I've been to. Maybe it's the wok-hei taste that I get from my new burner, but man, it's amazing!I made a few of his quick easy Japanese mayo-based dipping sauces. Good, but not great.
Recently, a family member took me to a Peruvian restaurant. Mind blown, I started eating at every local Peruvian restaurant I could find and then purchased some books on Peruvian cooking so I could reproduce these recipes at home.Fully expecting to love this book based on all the wonderful reviews, the results of my first intensive foray into this book was not very fruiful. There are two reasons why I have given this book a 3 star rating today. Firstly,the results of this lengthy labor of love, were not inspiring (I will explain more fully below) and secondly, there was a missing sub-recipe. This is disappointing, but was not entirely to blame for the meal let-down, as it was for a condiment to be served with the finished dish, and I did manage with quite a bit of research to make something which (perhaps) may have been an ok stand-in for the missing recipe.I decided to make the Peruvian Fried Chicken with Rocoto Aioli and Salsa Criolla and also the Southern Peruvian-Style Salad with Potatoes, Favas and Rocoto Viniagrette. All of which required a number of sub-recipes and prep and a couple of trips to get all of the ingredients (frozen favas, Aji Panca paste, Aji Amarillo paste, Rocoto Paste, Botija olives) All the other ingredients were standard fridge and pantry items.Additionally, the sub-recipes required in order to make this meal were Anticucho sauce (to marinate the chicken in) Rocoto Viniagrette (for the salad), Salsa Criolla and, Rocoto Aioli - both recommeded to serve with the chicken.On top of all that, as I couldn't buy Rocoto paste from my store, I looked online and at the discussion on making your own pastes in this book, and was able to purchase whole rocoto chiles and made it from scratch.It all sounded promising until I got to the recommended Rocoto Aioli to serve with the fried chicken, which was supposed to be on page 38. Also, no such recipe. A peruse of the index shed no light, and so I checked the entire book page by page with no luck. I reviewed the recipes for other aiolis ijn the book, and checked online and decided that I could make it with kewpie-style mayo (as recommended for the other aiolis in this book) which I also sourced a recipe for online and made from scratch along with the Rocoto paste which I had already made.The rocoto aioli tasted like slightly spicy thousand island dressing. There is no way of knowing whether it should taste like this or not considering the missing aioli recipe and the fact that I made my own Rocoto paste, So I won't fault this book for the flavor of said aioli, but I would really like the actual missing recipe!Additionally, the anticucho sauce that is used to marinade the chicken, was disappointing. The chicken was salty and slightly vinegary and that was about it. The description of the Anticucho sauce was that "the bright spicy heat of aji amarillo peppers plays off the smokiness of the aji panca peppers" But none of that came through for us. It mainly tasted like soy sauce. The Rocoto salad viniagrette would have been good, if not for the balsamic (recommended if you can't get Banyuls vinegar) Alas, it tasted only of balsamic. I would try this vinaigrette again, and source Banyuls vinegar on Amazon and will note any improvement in this review. But we did not enjoy the salad or the viniagrette. If I make the viniagrette again I will use it on a different salad. It was very heavy and starchy with the favas and the potatoes and peas, and not very flavorful.The chicken also was not anything special due to the soy flavored Anticucho sauce. And although I made my own Rocoto paste and Rocoto Aioli that was for a side condiment and was not the cause of our disappointment overall.I only use the best ingredients I can find, and went to great lengths to purchase or make from scratch everything that I needed for these recipes.I can only report on the recipes I have tried so far and will update my review as I cook more from this book. I wouldnt normally comment on a book after making only one meal. Sadly however, I was disappointed with every one of the sub-recipes that were required for these two dishes.Future editions need to address the issue of the missing aioli recipe which is supposed to be on page 38.I fully intend to cook extensively from this book and have high hopes given the other good reviews that there are some hiddlen gems that I have yet to discover. But for now, I am sorry to report that my experience been a bit underwhelming.Here is a Rocoto Aioli recipe in case anyone else has been searching for it. I don't know how similar this might be to the missing aioli recipe, and if anyone has a good/better/best one,please post it in the comments. If, like me, you can't find Rocoto paste in the store, pg 34 of this book tells you how to make your own from fresh or frozen Rocoto peppers (although jarred isn't highly recommended it was all I could find)Rocoto Aioli1 cup of Mayo (preferably Kewpie - but I made mine with apple cider vinegar and an egg yolk, for those like me who enjoy making mayo - (also happy to share my recipe for Kewpie stype mayo, if anyone wants it just comment below)2-5 Tb Rocoto Paste (to taste, I ended up using 5Tb but I made my own paste with jarred Rocoto peppers, which the book says may be less flavorful. Other pastes might be stronger or hotter than mine)Juice of 2 large limes1 tsp powdered mustard1-2 tsp salt (to taste, depends on how salty your mayo is. As I made my own mayo and my own Rocoto paste, I needed 2tsp salt, but I admit this does sound like a lot so add it in 1/2 tsp at a time until it is to your liking. As said, I will edit this and perhaps change the rating as I cook more from this book.If this has been helpful to you, please let me know by clicking the helpful button. I spend a lot of time on my reviews and it is so rewarding to know that it has been of help to others :)
My friend Kevin asked me about this book, and while I was distantly familiar with Zarate, I've never been to his restaurant, and didn't know about the book. But I've heard great things about the restaurant, and I thought, what the heck, let me take a look at the book. Now, to some extent, it's just another Peruvian cookbook to add to the dozen or more that I already have on my shelf. There aren't any truly stunning recipes, or things that I suddenly discovered about Peruvian food that I'd never known before. And to be honest, it's not as well researched, particularly in the history of the influences of various cultures, both indigenous and the heavy Chinese and Japanese bent in modern Peruvian cooking as I might like. He gets some details just plain wrong. But what made it of particular interest was the varied personal anecdotes about growing up in, and visiting Lima, and the food scene there. Perhaps it was a simple matter of timing, with reading this just prior to my recent trip there, but it added to my list of things to see, try, and places to go, that I otherwise likely would have missed. For that alone, it was worth the read. And if you don't have a cornucopia of Peruvian cookbooks on your shelf, it's certainly a worthwhile one to add to your collection.
