Ceviche: Peruvian Kitchen

Description

Making ceviche is a serious business in Lima - and restaurateur Martin Morales, whose top Soho restaurant opened to wide acclaim in 2012, has travelled the length of Peru to find the best recipes, and the length of Britain to find the freshest fish. From sizzling barbecued anticuchos, superfood quinoa salads, giant corn choclos, juicy saltados and lucuma ice - CEVICHE brings the unique and delicious dishes from Peru to the home kitchen. The freshest raw fish, just enough Peruvian lime, a chilli-kick and a pinch of ground sea salt. That's just what's in it. How you make it, the methods and timings, are ingredients in their own right. Here for the first time, Martin shows you how to make the best ceviche this side of Lima; laid back, fuss-free and delicious Peruvian food, with just a little bit of chicha - Lima's cheeky, playful side.

A cook since the age of 11, Martin Morales was a founding member of Apple iTunes, Disney's youngest ever board member, and has been involved in a number of hospitality and events businesses and brands. He has the backing of industry experts to ensure that the Ceviche brand continues to grow into a global success. https://twitter.com/martinceviche http://cevicheuk.com/

Peruvians, as Paddington Bear fans will recall, like to keep their food under their hats. In Ceviche, Morales lifts the lid on his native cuisine, which is considered by Escoffier as among the best in the world. His book is a delight. Between stunning tiled covers, Morales sets off the eponymous delicacies of marinated raw fish with more comforting dishes, plus the frisky, pisco-based cocktails he serves at his restaurant in Soho.
