Peruvian Cuisine moving into North American Scene

An Associated Press article by Joan Cirillo appeared today on journalnow.com, titled Peruvian food is exploding onto the culinary scene. The article opens with the story of Andina, a sophisticated New Andean Peruvian restaurant opened in Portland three years ago.

“The year after it opened -writes Cirillo-, Gourmet magazine wrote: A rare Peruvian gem filled with folk art and weavings, this is unique on the West Coast. Last year, The Oregonian, the state’s largest newspaper, named it restaurant of the year.”

According to Cirillo, the success of Andina, owned by Doris Rodriguez, “reflects the burgeoning interest in the foodways” of Peru.
