Peru is a country with a great diversity not just because of the fact of being divided in three different nature zones, the jungle, the coast and the high land of the Andes. It is a country where tradition and modernity are clashing, but are also integrated with each other in the everyday life. Since the influence of the modern world did not stop at the borders, Peruvians, just as in many other countries, especially of the westernized world, accustomed to the fast food world. Less people are coming home at lunch time to cook with the rest of the family, the habit of eating out in restaurants is one which is getting more and more participants in these days.

This brings the tradition of cooking local recipes in a great danger. To not let that happen a well known company created LA DIA DE LA COMIDA PERUANA (the day of the Peruvian food).
