‘Culinary Journeys’ continues in October, with a programme featuring the chef that is taking Peruvian food to new heights – Virgilio Martinez (pictured left).

Once a keen skateboarder, Martinez now performs tricks of the culinary kind. The chef has made a name for himself applying modern cooking techniques to indigenous Peruvian ingredients at his restaurant Central, which pays homage to the country’s diverse landscape and biodiversity. Recognition of Martinez’s innovative approach to cuisine came this year when Central was named the best restaurant in Latin America at the prestigious World’s 50 Best restaurant awards.

Martinez often takes research trips to remote areas of Peru bringing back new ingredients and techniques to his kitchen but he is still hungry for more. On this month’s programme, Martinez embarks on a Culinary Journey 3500 meters above sea level to a small community in Acomayo. There in the Andes, he learns how to construct the perfect huatia – a small clay oven used by the Incas to cook potatoes and other tubers.
