Our Next Gastronomical Adventure took place at the Sumaq Hotel in Aguas Calientas, a.k.a. Machu Picchu

A tasting menu at Sumaq Machu Picchu hotel in their Suquy Cafe and Bar, where a team of young chefs  led by Ribellino created the most amazing  meal. 

We started with a delicious cream of Andean tubers garnished with a quisharcancha mushroom duxelles sauce, pachamanca style foam and native potato chips.  

Followed by delicious Puca ceviche of salmon  trout cubes in tigers milk flavored  with Camu Camu and strawberry.  

Then came the first of the two main courses,  8 hour simmered lamb shank in Chicha  de hora, accompanied with native potato gnocchi in a huancaina  and fresh corolla sauce 

Then we had the best risotto au gratin with Andean cheese and Chicllayo duck magret, accompanied by a mix of garlic flavored mushrooms, confit cherry tomatoes and fine herbs.

But it didn't  end there.  Then came the  best yummy deserts,

Lucuma panda Cora, a mocha Peruvian style dessert  and custard apple bavarois with Nutella and almond praline. 

Message to Peru........ I'm gonna have to come back. Food like this can not be forgotten and neither can the people. The culture, the peace, the history, the beauty, the adventure and the love of the people.
