Dir. Patricia Perez, 2010 Peru 38 min
In Peru, cooking and eating go beyond the kitchen.
The nation’s passion for food transcends pots and pans,Peru finds in its cuisine its missing ingredient:
A way to celebrate being Peruvian.
A way to love, show respect and be proud.
Mistura, the gastronomic fair that happens in Lima every September, is the best example.
This project is an attempt to capture a slice of the immense spectrum of experiences that are simmered in Mistura every year.
A place where cooks and patrons passionately teach us not only about food but most importantly about life.
Mistura. El Poder de la Comida” es una invitación a vivir la revolución gastronómica que envuelve al Perú. Este trailer muestra una parte del documental que dura 40 minutos, un trabajo realizado por Patricia Pérez con el apoyo del equipo de ChiwakeFilms, 15 días de grabación de Mistura 2010.
Mistura nace da una idea de uno de los mejores Chef del mundo: Gaston Acurio.
