Mistura Fair in Peru
Mistura has been consolidated in a few years as the largest food fair in Latin America and becomes increasingly international reputation. And it is not just a food festival, but much more is a celebration where the Peruvians with no social distinctions gather around our pots and cookers to celebrate our traditional Peruvian cuisine, marvel at our creativity, to reaffirm our identity and celebrate our cultural diversity. In Peru, over the centuries, food has been associated with celebrations. It’s on the occasion of the festivities, Inti Raymi, San Juan, Cruz Motupe, Lord Captive, Christmas, Easter and family celebrations (weddings, birthdays, christenings) have been prepared dishes using the best techniques and recipes that our cooks passed down from generation to generation. At parties and taverns in the traditional Peruvian food has gone hand in hand with the music and social fraternization among Peruvians in different social levels. This is the spirit that dominates Mistura.
The fair brings together many elements in the gastronomic chain Peru: farmers, producers of pisco, cooks, bakers, food sellers, confectionery, huariques, restaurants, cooking schools, food processing companies.
In Mistura pay special tribute to our mother earth. Nature has been generous with Peru. During their 7000 years of history, our country still offers one of the most fascinating planet pantries. And part of that wealth is due to the Peruvians. Respectful dialogue established with the Pachamama(Mother Earth), with 85 geographic and climatic environments. That was the magic formula to have that variety of products that brings Mistura today at the Grand Market and are an integral part of Peruvian cuisine and world food supply.
The richness of our cuisine is based on the history and the particular confluence of culinary styles and inputs from different regions of Peru. To this is added in the last 5 centuries the contribution of European tastes, Arabs, Africans, Chinese, and Japanese. The Peruvians have decided to tell the world how proud we are of our kitchen. But above all, we share the values ??that mark our way: tolerance, respect, commitment to the environment and social responsibility. We want the kitchen is not an end but a means and becomes an instrument of inclusive development, cultural identity, development and social integration.
