Doris Leon, owner of the restaurant El Tarwi notes that in general there are dishes that are eaten in almost all the mountain as the barbecue , the trout in different presentations and greaves. Despite that, there are some dishes that are adopted as their own in some provinces.
For example, in Cajamarca are popular spicy guinea pig with potato, canned figs and green suck. "Boil the peeled potatoes and the broth is added eggs, cheese (curd) and pork rinds. The green color comes from the pureed mixture paico leaves or mint, rue and parsley, "said the cook on the iconic soup.
In Huanuco , the soup of chicken is very popular thanks to its simple preparation. "It's a hearty soup that is served hot. First is boiled white potatoes with chicken dams, which must be boiled. "
Leon said that the barbecue is also traditional but has some quirks. "As a topping for meat is used a special herb in the region called 'mackerel'. Preferred the pig is used very tender, before the ram, and the use of larger quantities of tubers and sweet tamales as a side dish. "
In Pasco is very common to find the popular head broth, made with lamb, mint and pepper. Patachi Junin has a very important stew in the Andean region of Huancayo leading peeled wheat, dried beans or green, beef jerky (dried meat), Carano (pigskin), legs and giblets (cow intestines ) says.
In Huancavelica highlights the pot, which traditionally made between January and March, with fresh vegetables, beef, alpaca, sheep, soups from fresh peas, beans and fruits. In Apurimac "grilled cuy natural huacatay is essential," says Doris Leon.
"In Cusco eats everything, "but the pot is one of the more traditional" prepares for the Mardi Gras and that is to boil a cow's breast, head of lamb, bacon and legs, adding, whole leaves cabbage, potatoes, Moray, chickpeas and rice. In a separate pot, boil potatoes, peaches, pears and yuccas. "
In Ayacucho are very popular and the cuy chactado puca. If we want something new, is the qapchi a potato salad made of soft sand, fresh cheese, yellow peppers, olive oil and chopped onion.
The suck of quinoa is one of the richest dishes of Puno . However, there are also dishes made of fish such as Timpo chaulla prepared with native species of Lake Titicaca, as carachi, mackerel or mauri.

"The forest is reputed to possess aphrodisiac cuisine and, in general, there are dishes that can be considered universal in the Amazon, "said Hugo Ingunza, owner and chef of the restaurant La Choza of Anaconda.
The jerky , the tacacho the juane and suri are great representative of the food jungle . But that's not all. San Martín , Amazonas and Loreto have much more to offer.
"The roast picuro is a dish made of meat with a tasty rodent, the APICH (dams golden pork stewed with ground peanuts and corn), the patarashca (fish wrapped in banana leaves and roasted over fire), are typical the menu of the residents. "
Ingunza says Ucayali and Madre de Dios have an equally exotic cuisine that takes the girl juane its finest. "It's a meal similar to John, but without rice." Carachama broth is also very popular, is accompanied by plantains and cilantro.
