Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The cuisine of Peru has a multi cultural history and is one of the world's best kept secrets. The dishes mix fabulous flavors and are considered some of the most varied and rich across the globe.

Peruvian cuisine also reflects local practices and ingredients, including influences from the indigenous population including the Inca. Immigrants from Spain, Italy, Germany, Asia and West Africa have made their impact, too. Without the familiar ingredients from their home countries, immigrants modified their traditional recipes by using ingredients available in Peru. This has made for a very interesting palate of flavors.

Recently there has been a revival of interest in native Peruvian foods and culinary techniques, so Executive Chef Ignacio Uribe and Sous Chef Jugo Mejia at Daiquiri Dick's Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta have created a special dinner menu that reflects the various flavors of Peruvian cuisine, which they'll be serving from 5-11 pm March 30 through April 5.
