If you’ve never had Peruvian cuisine you are missing an amazing cuisine that has evolved from both local and immigrant traditions. The foods eaten today in Peruvian cuisine are the same recipes from ancient civilizations. Peruvian dishes have also inherited some of its roots from European, African and Asian influences. The country of Peru and its geography bring into play local seafood from the coast, tropical fruits from the jungle and grains and potatoes from the Andes.
Peruvian cuisine reflects local practices and ingredients—including influences from the indigenous Inca and cuisines brought in with immigrants such as Spanish cuisine, Chinese cuisine, Italian cuisine, German cuisine, Japanese cuisine and African influences. Without the familiar ingredients from their home countries, immigrants modified their traditional cuisines by using ingredients available in Peru. The three traditional staples of Peruvian cuisine are corn, potatoes, and chili peppers. Staples brought by the Spanish include rice, wheat and meats (beef, pork and chicken). Many traditional foods—such as quinoa, kaniwa, some varieties of chili peppers, and several roots and tubers have increased in popularity in recent decades, reflecting a revival of interest in native Peruvian foods and culinary techniques.
Jorge Corzo, owner and chef, migrated to the US 11 years ago with a dream of sharing the jewels of Peruvian Cuisine with Americans. The family has opened several restaurants since they have been in the US, such as El Tondero, Red, Peruvian Grill and El Warike. El Warike offers the best and most authentic Peruvian food and was the first Peruvian restaurant in Bradenton!

Meet Ortygia Restaurant and Chef Gaetano Cannata. When people grow up cooking and eating their favorite cuisine, you know you’re getting a piece of their family history and the history of their native country, in this case, Sicily, Italy. Chef Guy’s cuisine is the result of living in a tight-knit neighborhood in New Jersey and watching his father create elaborate meals for friends and family. Their home was a gathering place of friends and relatives, and Guy strived to recreate that atmosphere at Ortygia Restaurant in Bradenton.
Chef Guy decided to move to Florida and work in various restaurants to accumulate knowledge of other cuisines and fine tune his own culinary talents. Seeing the laid-back atmosphere of Bradenton’s Village of the Arts, he converted a cottage into a charming and atmospheric restaurant, his Ortygia. This is the sweet atmosphere and meeting place for eating and hanging out where he serves up “Monzu” cuisine, a mixture of Sicilian and French cooking that actually dates back to Napolean’s time.
In fact, Chef Gaetano’s style of culinary arts incorporates elements of Arab, Greek, Spanish and North African cooking styles that have historic roots.
The ingredients in Chef Gaetano’s food embrace organic and locally purchased products in an effort to buy local. Mazzone Extra Virgin Olive Oil is exclusively used in all preparations.

Sande is an IBE member and was very impressed with the unique cuisine at Chef Guy’s wonderful restaurant. In fact, Sande said that Chef stopped at his table to asked how everything was and answered all the questions about the origin of some of the dishes and was generous of his time.
