New York (PRWEB) September 18, 2013 -- PROMPERU, the Peruvian Commission charged with the promotion of Peruvian Tourism and Export, will sponsor the Starchefs International Chefs Congress in New York City at Pier 57 this September. Heralded as the next global gastronomic destination, Peru has quickly gained recognition as a leader in international cuisine, spearheaded by famous chef ambassadors Gaston Acurio and Hector Solis. At this years Chef’s Congress, the cooking masters will present seminars on Peruvian cooking techniques and demonstrate the versatility and intricacies of indigenous Peruvian produce, quinoa and the aji amarillo chile in addition to celebrating the national spirit, Pisco.

Peru’s privileged geographic location makes it a country of great biodiversity, which allows it to take masterpieces to restaurant menus the world over. Its great variety of resources - seafood, grains (the United Nations designated 2013 as The International Year of Quinoa) and products from the coastal valleys, the Andean highlands and the Amazon region - inspire its unique and surprising culinary profile, which chefs have developed with mastery throughout generations. In 2012, Peru won the Best Culinary Destination at the World Travel Awards following on from their 2010 OAS (Organization of American States) recognition Cultural Heritage of the Americas for the World for their cuisine.

On Tuesday, October 1st, Chef Hector Solis will present a savory hands-on demonstration on the show’s main stage titled, The Ancient Art of Ceviche. Chef Gaston Acurio will follow later in the day on the main stage with his presentation, A Peruvian Empire Built on Passion. Featured at the Prom Peru booth will be a Peruvian Pisco bar with daily cocktail demonstrations. Restauranteur Richard Wu will oversee the cooking demonstrations showcasing the flexibility and uniqueness of the cuisine of Peru. A market zone displaying Peruvian products will also be added this year in addition to an information counter.

Conrado Falco, ‎Director at Peruvian Commercial Office in New York, speaking about PROMPERU’s participation at StarChefs commented, “Peru is a country that lives and breathes its gastronomy. The StarChefs International Chefs Congress is the ideal opportunity for Prom Peru to bring our passion to an international wealth of culinary influencers who gather every year at this unique event.”
