Advanced Audio Blog S3 Peruvian Cuisine: La Comida Peruana 1 Spanish 2 English 2 Vocabulary 3 Cultural Insight 4
Spanish Hola a todos! Alguno ya tuvo la oportunidad de degustar algún plato típico peruano? La comida peruana es una de las cocinas más diversas del mundo, incluso han llegado a decir que la cocina peruana compite con cocinas de alto nivel como la francesa y china. La comida peruana es de gran diversidad gracias al aporte de diversas culturas como la española, italiana, francesa, china, japonesa, entre otras, originando de esta manera una fusión exquisita de distintos ingredientes y sabores que dieron lugar a distintos platos de comida peruana. A este aporte multicultural a la cocina peruana, se suman la diversidad geográfica del país (el Perú posee 84 de las 104 zonas climáticas de la tierra) permitiendo el cultivo de gran variedad de frutas y verduras durante todo el año. Asimismo el Perú tiene la bendición de limitar con el Océano Pacífico, permitiendo a los peruanos el consumo de diversos platos basados en pescados y mariscos. La comida peruana ha venido obteniendo un reconocimiento internacional principalmente a partir de los años 90 gracias al trabajo de muchos chefs que se encargaron de difundir la comida peruana en el mundo y desde entonces cada vez más gente se rinde ante la exquisita cocina peruana. En el año 2006, Lima, la capital del Perú, fue declarada capital gastronómica de América durante la Cuarta Cumbre Internacional de Gastronomía Madrid Fusión 2006. En el próximo blog les contaré más detalladamente los platos más representativos del Perú como el ceviche, pollo a la brasa, chifa; postres como la mazamorra morada o los picarones y por supuesto les contaré también sobre las bebidas como el pisco y la chicha morada. 2 Hasta la próxima, y que tengan buena semana. English Hello! Have you already had the opportunity to taste some typical Peruvian dishes? Peruvian food is one of the world's most diverse cuisines, and it has even been suggested that Peruvian cuisine competes with high-level cuisines such as French and Chinese. Peruvian food is very diverse, thanks to the contribution of different cultures such as Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese, and Japanese, among others, thus causing an exquisite fusion of different ingredients and flavors that gave rise to different Peruvian dishes. To this multicultural contribution to Peruvian cuisine, the geographic diversity of the country (Peru has eighty-four of the 104 climate zones of the earth) is also added, allowing the cultivation of a variety of fruits and vegetables throughout the year. Peru also has the blessing of bordering on the Pacific Ocean, allowing the use of various Peruvian dishes based on seafood. LC: A_S3L1_070511 Â www.spanishpod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2011-07-05
Peruvian food has been gaining international recognition mainly since the 1990s through the work of many chefs who were responsible for spreading the Peruvian food throughout the world, and since then, more and more people have been exposed to the Peruvian cuisine. In 2006, Lima, Peru's capital, was declared America's gastronomic capital during Madrid Fusion's Fourth International Gastronomic Summit in 2006. In the next blog, I will tell you in more detail about the most representative dishes of Peru, such as "ceviche," grilled chicken, "chifa," and desserts such as "mazamorra" or "picarones," and of course I will tell you also about drinks such as "pisco" and "chicha morada." Until next time, have a good week. 3 Vocabulary Spanish English Class degustar to taste verb diversidad diversity noun aporte contribute noun fusión fusion noun Exquisita Exquisite, delicious (feminine) multicultural multicultural adjective bendición blessing noun reconocimiento recognition noun difundir to spread verb declarada declared Vocabulary Sample Sentences Le gustaría degustar esta nueva marca de galleta?

Lamentablemente José fue declarado culpable. "It is a blessing to have you in this meeting." "Charles received an award for his excellent work." "It is important that you spread this news." "Unfortunately Joseph was declared guilty." An Essential Part of Peruvian Culture Cultural Insight In Peru, we have lots of delicious food, and we are proud of it. One example of this appears in a very well-known commercial that promotes Peru, which starts by saying, "If you are Peruvian, you have the right to eat well." Food is part of our culture, and proof of this is that many colloquial expressions and slang are related to our food. For example, we use the word causa, which is a typical Peruvian plate, to also refer to "a friend." Just like this, there are more names of plates that we use in our daily conversation, showing the influence that food has in our culture. 4 LC: A_S3L1_070511 Â www.spanishpod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2011-07-05
Advanced Audio Blog S3 Peruvian Cuisine: Ceviche 2 Spanish 2 English 2 Vocabulary 3 Cultural Insight 4
Spanish 2 Esta semana les voy a contar un poco sobre uno de los platos más representativos del Perú, el cebiche. Si bien es cierto que el cebiche es un plato que se prepara en muchos países latinoamericanos, sobre todo los litorales al Océano Pacífico como Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, México, entre otros; en el Perú es considerado un plato tradicional y es tan valorado por la población peruana que incluso ha sido declarado Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación por el gobierno peruano. Es más, tanto es la importancia de este conocido plato en el Perú que en el año 2008 fue instaurado el Día del Ceviche, celebrado cada 28 de junio a nivel nacional. La preparación básica del cebiche es pescado blanco en trozos, jugo de limón, cebolla roja, ají y sal a gusto pero se pueden agregar otros ingredientes de acuerdo al gusto de cada uno. En el Perú se preparan varios tipos de cebiche, como el cebiche mixto (se le agregan mariscos o pescados al cebiche normal); cebiche de conchas negras, plato típico de la zona norte del Perú hecho a base de conchas negras marinado con limón; cebiche de pulpo, entre otras variaciones. Los acompañamientos del cebiche varían dependiendo de la región, sin embargo los acompañamientos más comunes son el choclo, cancha serrana, camote, yuyo y hojas de lechuga. Y por si se están preguntando que bebidas caen bien con este plato, pues una cerveza bien helada. Espero que si alguno tiene la oportunidad de ir a Perú o comer en un restaurante peruano no se olvide de pedir un cebiche, pues se podría decir que sería un pecado no comer este delicioso plato sobre todo si te encuentras de viaje por la costa peruana. Hasta la próxima! English This week, I'll tell you a little bit about one of the most representative dishes of Peru, "ceviche." It is true that "ceviche" is a dish that is prepared in many Latin American countries, especially the coastal Pacific, such as Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Mexico, among others. In Peru, it is considered a traditional dish and is so valued by the Peruvian population that is has even been declared a National Cultural Heritage by the Peruvian government. Moreover, this popular dish is so important in Peru that in 2008, June 28 was proclaimed the "Ceviche Day," celebrated nationwide every year. The basic preparation of "ceviche" is white fish cut in pieces, lemon juice, red onion, pepper, and salt to taste, but you can also add other ingredients according to individual taste. In Peru, LC: A_S3L2_071211 Â www.spanishpod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2011-07-12
various types of "ceviche" are prepared, like the mixed "ceviche" (seafood or fish are added to normal "ceviche"), "ceviche de conchas negras," a typical dish of northern Peru made from black scallops marinated in lemon, and "ceviche" octopus, among other variations. Side dishes of "ceviche" vary depending on the region; however, the most common accompaniments are corn, toasted corn, sweet potato, seaweed, and lettuce leaves. And if you're wondering what drinks go well with this dish, cold beer is one of those. I hope that if anyone has a chance to go to Peru or eat at a Peruvian restaurant, do not forget to order a "ceviche" because it can be said that it would be a sin not to eat this dish, especially if you are traveling along the coast of Peru. Until next time! 3 Vocabulary Spanish English Class representativo representative noun litoral coast noun patrimonio patrimony noun instaurar to establish verb mixto mixed noun típico, -a typical zona zone, area noun marinado to marínate, marinade acompañamiento accompaniment noun pescado fish masc. noun Vocabulary Sample Sentences Este símbolo es el más representativo de esta "This symbol is the most representative of this región. region."

Cultural Insight An Important Source of Peruvian Spanish Words 4 The language spoken before the Spaniards arrived in Peru was Quechua. Along with Spanish, this language is an official language in Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Many words used in Peruvian Spanish originate from Quechua, like cancha ("corn"), choclo ("corn"), palta ("avocado"), and papa ("potato"), among others. Many Quechua loan words have entered English through Spanish like coca, quinoa, and vicuña, just to mention some examples. There are 4,400,000 Quechua speakers in Peru.

Advanced Audio Blog S3 Bebidas Tradicionales: Traditional Peruvian Drinks 3 Spanish 2 English 2 Vocabulary 3 Cultural Insight 4
Spanish Bebidas tradicionales En el Perú tenemos diversas bebidas que suelen acompañar nuestras comidas. Una de las bebidas de mayor consumo a nivel nacional es la chicha morada. La chicha morada es un refresco que se prepara a base de maíz morado hervido al cual se le suele agregar trozos de piña, azúcar, membrillo, jugo de limón y canela. Este refresco es originario de la zona andina de mi país, sin embargo como mencioné al principio, en la actualidad es consumido a nivel nacional. Además de tener un rico sabor, la chicha morada posee propiedades beneficiosas para la salud. Entre sus propiedades se destaca que baja la presión sanguínea y el colesterol, entre otros. El consumo de chicha morada a nivel nacional ha crecido tanto que incluso su consumo ha alcanzado al de la Coca Cola. Es posible encontrar esta bebida casi en cualquier sitio gracias a la venta de chicha morada en botellas o latas, cosa que antes no se solía dar. Otra bebida nacional es la Inca Kola. Esta bebida gaseosa es originaria del Perú cuyo principal ingrediente es la planta hierba luisa. Sin embargo su fórmula se mantiene en estricto secreto. Esta gaseosa de color amarillo y sabor dulce es una de las dos únicas gaseosas en el mundo que ha podido superar en ventas a la Coca Cola en su país de origen. La Inca Kola es la bebida nacional que combina con toda clase de comida peruana, motivo por el cual esta bebida se sigue manteniendo como la bebida de mayor consumo entre los peruanos. 2 Que tengan una buena semana! English Traditional Drinks In Peru, there are several drinks that often accompany our meals. One of the most widely consumed beverages nationwide is the "chicha morada." "Chicha morada" is a drink that is prepared from boiled purple corn and pineapple pieces, sugar, quince, lemon juice, and cinnamon are often added. This drink originated in the Andean region of my country, but as I mentioned at the beginning, it is now consumed nationwide. Besides its rich flavor, "chicha morada" has beneficial health properties. Among its enhancing properties are that it lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, among others. "Chicha" consumption nationwide has grown so much that it has even reached the LC: A_S3L3_071911 Â www.spanishpod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2011-07-19
consumption of Coca-Cola. You can find this drink almost anywhere thanks to the sale of "chicha morada" in bottles or cans, which previously were not used. Another national drink is Inca Kola. This soft drink is native of Peru, whose main ingredient is the lemongrass plant. However, its formula is kept in strict confidence. This yellow soda of sweet taste is one of only two drinks in the world that has overcome the Coca-Cola sales in their country of origin. The Inca Kola is the national drink that goes well with all sorts of Peruvian foods, which is why this drink is still maintained as the most consumed beverage among Peruvians. Have a great week! 3 Vocabulary Spanish English Class consumo consuption noun refresco soft drink masc.

Advanced Audio Blog S3 Peruvian Alcoholic Drinks: Bebidas Alcohólicas Peruanas 4 Spanish 2 English 2 Vocabulary 3 Cultural Insight 4
Bebidas Alcohólicas Peruanas Spanish Una de las cosas que normalmente me preguntan cuando conozco gente de otros países es qué bebidas alcohólicas tomamos en el Perú. Por eso esta semana les voy a contar sobre los licores peruanos. El licor nacional del Perú es el pisco, el cual es elaborado a partir de la uva. La elaboración de este licor empieza en marzo de cada año cuando las uvas son cuidadosamente acopiadas en los viñedos de la costa peruana. El pisco puede ser elaborado a partir de dos variedades de uva locales, la uva quebranta y la uva Italia. Existen cuatro variedades de pisco en el Perú, dependiendo de las uvas utilizadas para la elaboración de este licor, así como también el proceso de destilación con el que se lleva a cabo. Estas cuatro variedades son el pisco puro, mosto verde, acholado y aromático. El pisco puro se caracteriza por su fina destilación y que se prepara de una sola variedad de uva. El pisco mosto verde es elaborado por mostos frescos incompletamente fermentados. El pisco acholado es el de mayor grado alcohólico y es elaborado con diferentes variedades de uva. Este pisco es el que normalmente se usa para la elaboración del pisco sour, bebida nacional peruana. Finalmente el pisco aromático es el pisco elaborado de uvas pisqueras aromáticas. 2 Al igual que el cebiche, el pisco también tiene un día especial reservado en el calendario peruano. En el año 1999 fue instituido el Día del Pisco en Perú, el cual es celebrado el cuarto domingo del mes de julio. De igual manera, los peruanos también celebramos el Día del Pisco Sour cada primer sábado del mes de febrero a partir del año 2004. Que tengan una buena semana, hasta la próxima entrada! English One of the things people usually ask me when I meet people from other countries is what are the alcoholic beverages we drink in Peru. So this week I'll tell you about Peruvian liquors. The national liquor of Peru is the "pisco," which is made from grapes. The development of the liquor starts in March each year when the grapes are carefully stockpiled in the vineyards of the Peruvian coast. The "pisco" can be created from two local grape varieties, "quebranta" grape and Italy grape. There are four varieties of "pisco" in Peru, depending on the grapes used for the preparation of this liquor, as well as the distillation process that takes place. These four varieties are the LC: A_S3L4_072611 Â www.spanishpod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2011-07-26
pure "pisco," grape green, "acholado," and aromatic. Pure "pisco" is characterized by fine distillation and is prepared from a single grape variety. The green grape "pisco" is produced by fresh musts fermented incompletely. "Pisco acholado" is the one with higher alcohol content and is made from different grape varieties. This "pisco" is normally used for the production of pisco sour, Peru's national drink. Finally, the aromatic "pisco" is made of aromatic "pisco" grapes. Like "ceviche," "pisco" has also a special day set aside on the Peruvian calendar. In 1999, it was established as Peru "Pisco" Day, which is held the fourth Sunday of July. Similarly, we also celebrate the Peruvian "Pisco" Sour Day every first Saturday of February since 2004. Have a good week until the next post! 3 Vocabulary Spanish English Class cuidadosamente carefully adverb acopiar to stock up verb viñedo vineyard noun destilación distillation noun mosto must, grape juice fermentar to ferment verb aromático aromatic adjective calendario calendar noun instituir to institute, to establish verb licor liquor noun Vocabulary Sample Sentences Lee el contrato cuidadosamente antes de firmarlo.

Some of the pisco tours are in the coastal part of Lima, Chincha, Ica, Arequipa, Moquegua, and Tacna.

Advanced Audio Blog S3 El Chifa: Chinese Food in Peru 5 Spanish 2 English 2 Vocabulary 3 Cultural Insight 4
Spanish El chifa El chifa es una de las comidas más populares entre los peruanos y nació de la fusión entre la comida de los inmigrantes chinos principalmente de la zona de Cantón y la comida peruana. Los chinos empezaron a llegar al Perú en el año 1849 y desde entonces poco a poco fueron insertándose a la sociedad peruana. Conforme iban asentándose y progresando económicamente en el Perú, los chinos comenzaron a importar productos de su país así como también empezaron a sembrar sus verduras para que ningún ingrediente les faltara al momento de preparar sus platos. 2 Los restaurantes en donde se vende esta comida, son conocidos también por el mismo nombre, chifa. El primer chifa inaugurado en la ciudad de Lima fue en el año 1921 y desde entonces los peruanos podemos saborear esta deliciosa comida resultado de la fusión china-peruana en casi todo el país. Se calcula que en la actualidad, sólo en la ciudad de Lima existen unos cinco mil chifas. La influencia de los chinos en la cocina peruana es tal, que incluso dicen que conocidos platos criollos como el tacu tacu y el lomo saltado fueron influencia de los chinos. Asimismo las amas de casa comenzaron a utilizar el jengibre, sillao, cebollita china, entre otros ingredientes, en la preparación diaria de las comidas. El chifa en el Perú se acopló en todos los estratos socio-económicos de la sociedad ya que se pueden encontrar tanto los chifas de alto nivel como los populares chifas de barrio. El chifa en el Perú tiene un sabor distinto al de la comida china de otros países por lo que si estás de visita en el Perú no te olvides de visitar un chifa que te aseguro que te va a encantar esta deliciosa comida. English The "chifa" ("Chinese food") is one of the most popular meals among Peruvians and was born of the fusion between the food of Chinese immigrants, mainly from the area of Canton, and Peruvian food. The Chinese began arriving in Peru in 1849 and since then were slowly inserted into Peruvian society. As they were settling in the city and progressing economically in Peru, the Chinese began to import products from their country, and they began to plant their vegetables as well so that they wouldn't lack any ingredients when preparing their dishes. LC: A_S3L5_080211 Â www.spanishpod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2011-08-02
The restaurants where this food is sold are also known by the same name, "chifa." The first Chinese restaurant opened in the city of Lima in 1921, and since then, Peruvians can enjoy this delicious meal, a fusion of Peruvian and Chinese food, almost everywhere in the country. It is estimated that currently in the city of Lima alone, there are about five thousand "chifas." The Chinese influence on Peruvian cuisine is such that it is even said that Creole dishes known as the "tacu tacu" and "lomo saltado" were influenced by the Chinese. Housewives also began using ginger, soy sauce, green onion, and other ingredients in the daily preparation of meals. The Chinese restaurants in Peru cater to all socioeconomic strata of society, and you can find both high-level "chifas" as well as popular "chifas" in the neighborhoods. The Chinese restaurants in Peru have a different taste of Chinese food from other countries, so if you are visiting in Peru, do not forget to visit a Chinese restaurant. I assure you that you'll love this delicious meal. 3 Vocabulary Spanish English Class inmigrante immigrant masc. & fem. noun, adjective insertar to insert verb sociedad society noun conforme all right, in accordance with adjective, interjection, adverb, conjunction asentar to set up, to place verb importar to import verb sembrar to sow, to plant verb saborear to savor verb estrato stratum, social strata noun barrio neighborhood masculine noun Vocabulary Sample Sentences Los primeros inmigrantes japoneses llegaron al Perú el año 1899.

There you can find chifas for all kinds of budgets. In Chinatown, you can also find products that are cheaper than in other parts of the city, so bring a little extra cash in case you want to buy something.

Spanish Postres peruanos Tal vez a muchos de ustedes les pasa igual que a mí. No importa que tan satisfecha pueda estar después de haber comido pero siempre hay espacio para el postre. En esta nueva entrada les hablaré un poco sobre los postres peruanos. Los inicios de la repostería tradicional peruana datan desde la época colonial, etapa en la que se introdujo el cultivo de caña de azúcar y costumbres europeas. Algunos de los postres más populares en el Perú son el arroz con leche, mazamorra morada, picarones, entre otros. El arroz con leche es un postre típico que se prepara en muchos países y se prepara cociendo lentamente el arroz en leche y azúcar. Se le suele añadir canela o vainilla y se puede comer frío o caliente. La mazamorra morada es un postre hecho a base de maíz morado. Una porción de mazamorra morada servida en partes iguales junto con el arroz con leche en un mismo recipiente se le conoce como clásico. Los picarones están hechos a base de masa de harina de trigo mezclada con zapallo, se fríe en forma de anillo y posteriormente se añade una salsa de miel de chancaca y naranja al momento de servir. Los orígenes de este postre se remontan a la época del Virreinato del Perú y solían ser ofrecidos durante la fiesta del Señor de los Milagros en Lima desde el siglo XVII. Los picarones junto con un clásico son unos de mis postres favoritos. Existen muchos más postres que espero tengan la oportunidad de degustar. 2 Hasta la próxima entrada. Peruvian Desserts English Maybe many of you are going to agree with me. No matter how satisfied I could be after eating, there is always room for dessert.
