The chef was visiting Lima, after making a gastronomic route through the south of the country, especially in Ica where he plans to open a branch of his restaurant “Nazca 21”.
Aristotles Brena was awarded this year with the Golden Star Awards in recognition of his great culinary career. In 2015, it opened in the old town of Panama City, becoming a great reference for Peruvian food.
Among the variety of dishes offered in its restaurant, is the Inka shrimp, cooked with a base of red pepper reduction with white wine and a touch of cognac, bathed with a port reduction, and served on a bed of mashed potatoes.
