Lima of my heart. So full of surprises, of nostalgia, of contradictions. Light headed Lima, running like a colt, trying to find its way in the midst of the autumn fog, like under the summer sun. Lima, finally unveiling its secrets, kept between the blood of the thousand people who came here from all over the world. And among these secrets, one of the best kept ones, namely its cuisine. Or, better still, its cuisines. Which arrived from all corners of Peru. From the most secluded corners of the world. As if a city was suddenly transformed into an immense marketplace, where everyone lives in order to eat and enjoy happiness while eating.
