Alejandro Saravia
Introducing a new cuisine to a country isn’t an easy thing. First of all there’s the issue with sourcing ingredients and if you happen to be trying to introduce it to a country like Australia with strict customs and quarantine laws, it is made all the more difficult. But that’s just what Alejandro Saravia is trying to do with Peruvian cuisine. Chef Saravia arrived in Australia almost 3 years ago now and after a time working at El Bulli Surry Hills, has turned his attention to setting up Illapu Peru, Peruvian Gastronomy Concept, a company that he has formed to help spread the word of his native Peruvian cuisine. And as part of the Sydney International Food Festival he is holding a series of dinners and we are the lucky recipients of an invitation to dine at one of them and have the chance to meet with and talk to Alejandro. What is Peruvian cuisine you might ask? Take my hand Dear Reader and let me show you…
Walking into the restaurant we’re surprised as we’re dining at private tables (rather than a large shared table) which is a nice touch. I am shown to our tables and chat to Anna from Morsels and Musings is already seated with her sister. Later on Suze, Helen and Billy arrive. We’re invited to go up to the bar and order one of the three cocktails which all use Peruvian ingredients. I go for the Don Santiago Pisco Punch with is muddled pineapple wedges, fresh orange, syrup, Don Santiago Queirolo Mosto Verde and soda water which Mr NQN ends up liking.
Traditional Santiago Queirolo Pisco Sour
Don Santiago Pisco Punch
I prefer his order of the Traditional Santiago Queirolo Pisco Sour with fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, Santiago Queirolo Quebranta, egg white and bitters which is refreshing and sour at the same time. They mention that they are served without straws so that you can experience the full aroma of the ingredients as they use such high quality mixers and aromatics and a straw would inhibit the ability to inhale deeply while imbibing.
Chef Alejandro Saravia at work
Canape: Croquetas de Yuca y queso Manchego
Our canapes come out – the staff are a little confused as to what we’ve had but we start off with the Croquetas de Yuca y queso Manchego which are Yuca (Casaba) and manchego cheese croquettes served with huancaina sauce. The sauce is creamy and buttery, like a Hollandaise and is usually served over boiled potatoes and is usually made with cheese, crackers and milk with yellow chillis.
Canape: Causa de trucha organica del Titicaca
The Causa de trucha organica del titicaca is a Causa (potato mortar terrine) topped with organic trout from Laka Titicaca which is marinated in rosemary and black pepper oil. It’s interesting, the trout flesh is firm against the soft avocado and the potato terrine is a new sensation, like a firmer mashed potato.
Canape: Anticuchos de corazon y salsa criolla
The Anticuchos de corazon y salsa criolla is next. Anticuchos is actually beef heart skewers served with aji (Peruvian yellow chilli) sauce. Now I haven’t had great experiences eating heart – I did so in Tokyo where it was rubbery beyond belief so I am wary but the aroma of it is hard to resist. I try it and it’s delicious. It’s cooked so that it isn’t tough at all and it tastes almost like regular beef with a slight flavour difference. I use a fork to spoon up the rest of the deliciously flavoursome sauce on top.
King fish tiradito in two oils – Fine slices of king fish cured in Pisco (Peruvian spirit) for 12 hours, dressed with rocoto (Peruvian red pepper) and basil oil. Served with Brown Brothers Prosecco 2008.
The presentation for this dish is lovely. The thin slices of kingfish are fanned out prettily with some watercress and a peeled blanched cherry tomato. The fish has a lovely flavour from being cured in Pisco liquer for 12 hours and on top is a spicy chilli and basil oil which adds a nice unexpected flavour to it (I usually see this as carpaccio or sashimi). The only thing I would have wanted was some bread to soak up the fragrant oil.
Passion at the Pacific. Served with Brown Brothers Vermentino 2008.
This was a very generous serve and the ceviche was a lovely mix of pink snapper, sea urchin and crystal bay prawns in a tangy passionfruit and aji (Peruvian yellow chili) sauce. I love the briney saltiness of sea urchin and the prawns were quite raw and it was a clean, refreshing and tangy dish although with the generous size of it, I had some trouble finishing it.
Pisco and citron sorbet
This packed a punch! It was more a spoonful of Pisco with a small amount of citron sorbet. One spoon’s sorbet had melted completely. It was a bit too strong for my taste though.
Stuffed Peruvian red pepper (rocoto) and a solterito salad – Roasted Peruvian red pepper stuffed with oxtail and aromatic herbs served with a sorted of Andean vegetables and feta cheese salad, dressed with an infused huacatay (black mint) oil. Served with Brown Brothers Tempranillo 2006.
I busied myself with dissecting the salad while Mr NQN photographed his plate. The salad was made up of cherry tomatoes, olives and tiny feta cubes along with Andean corn called Choclo which has larger, white kernels. The salad was delicious and I like the idea that the feta was cut smaller which meant that I didn’t need to slice the feta when eating it as you have to do with larger chunks. It was dressed with an infused huacatay (black mint) oil which gives it a taste between mint and basil. The Roasted Peruvian red pepper stuffed with oxtail and aromatic herbs had a sweet flavour from the tomatoes and peppers and this was good when tasting it against the salty salad.
Remember the flavors of the Andeans – Olluco (Andean tuber) pearls with cured Alpaca meat and Andean grains” a special blend of quinoas (Golden, red and black) taboule. Served with Brown BrothersHeathcote Shiraz 2006.
Ahh alpaca meat! I was looking forward to trying this and it is cured simply in Pisco liquer, oil, salt, pepper, Chicha de Jora and Aji Mirasol chilli to bring out the flavour. It’s a very lean meat tending towards dry when fully cooked through but Alejandro says that he deliberately didn’t put a sauce on it so the flavour would shine through. It’s not as gamey and very similar to a roast beef. The golden, red and black quinoas and are mixed with diced yellow and red capsicum and are served like a taboulio with the quinoa used instead of cracked wheat.
Combination of Andean sorbetes. Purple corn sorbet with infused pineapple and strawberries.Served with Brown Brothers Moscato Rosa 2009.
Our waitress asks us if we’d like dessert and we nod enthusiastically. I’m intrigued by the purple corn ice cream. It arrives in a martini glass and I eagerly drive in with a spoon. The purple corn is quite mild in flavour although there is a light flavour there. I was wondering if it would be like sweet corn ice cream that you can buy in Asia but it isn’t. The sorbet is very creamy and is more like an ice cream and the creaminess goes well against the sweet pineapple and strawberries. There is also a chocolate truffle on the side which we later learn is a very typical Peruvian chocolate with pecans and a caramel truffle filling called a Tejas (which Mr NQN gets). I get a delicious one with a whole chocolate coated coffee bean inside.
Ladies, he is single! Form an orderly queue…
I take the chance to chat with Alejandro who comes out from the kitchen. I ask him about his time here and he tells of how he arrived here almost 3 years ago on the 30th of December and spent all of his travelling money with a hotel stay at the Shangri la Hotel (he travels in style! I like it!). I ask him about teh challenges with bringing a cuisine to a new country and he says that importing the ingredients is difficult with our strict quarantine laws but he has noticed that Australians now have access to some great produce and was glad to see some foie gras at a deli in Double Bay. I ask him about the Alpaca meat and Chef Saravia says that has been able to source local Alpaca here and was impressed when each individual Alpaca tenderloin came individually packed “I haven’t seen that since Europe” he says smiling broadly. He also prefers to support small farmers and producers rather than the big suppliers as they take more care with their produce.
He helped set up Peruvian cuisine in Madrid and today it is popular in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. One of the most common foods in Peruvian cuisine is corn and there are hundreds of types of corn in all manner of colours from red, purple to white (the last two ones we were lucky to have tried tonight). Peruvian Cuisine is of course South American in origins but with Chinese and Japanese influences (hence the first dish) brought through migrants who came over to work on the sugar plantations and interestingly, Peru has the second largest population of Chinese in Latin America after Brazil.
I ask him the question that most people associate with Peruvian food – Guinea Pigs. He laughs, I assume he is probably used to the question. The guinea pigs that they use for cooking are specially bred for eating and fed a diet of quinoa and corn to make sure there is more meat (they’re not pet guinea pigs). He mentions that he wants to include guinea pig later on but for now, he wants to showcase other Peruvian foods so that people don’t think that it’s all just about Guinea Pigs.

WOW I must say my taste buds were watering reading this post and while reading I realised that Peruvian is in fact one of the cuisines I have never experienced.
Thanks NQN!!!
Well I have never really thought about peru as having such innovative food. I have never eaten Peruvian food before
Peruvian
oh i’ve never had anything Peruvian before and i really need to expand my taste horizons in terms of the cuisines i have tasted! everything looks delicious especially the king fish! gorgeous photos. how do you take such good pictures within a restaurant in the evenings? i need some tips for this weekend for my 24, 24, 24 event. x
Um.. super hot chef!
Peru had some of the BEST food I’ve ever had in the world. The variety of food that they grow there is amazing. The Andes are like the garden of Eden. It’s insane. Thousands of potatoes, quinoa, yucca, fruits! The meat is outstanding from alpaca, cow, pig, to, yes, guinea pig (cuy).
If you ever want to travel to South America – go to Peru! YUM!
Well I’m nearer to the Peruvian cuisine is fabulous, how many enticing and scrumptious creations ..the stuffed rocoto looks sublime
Cheers!
Gera
Hmmm I’ve never tried Nepalese food, or Peruvian for that matter.
I’m so curious about that purple corn ice-cream! My friend was telling me she saw a purple corn cocktail the other day. Interesting…!
Peruvian cuisine. It sounds delicious!
Oh my. Those croquettes look absolutely gorgeous. And they’re presented in such an interesting way!
Oh my God! I have to take the kids there. As you know their Dad is from Peru. I had those dishes when I was living in Cusco. Shame they didn’t serve Guinea Pig, it’s delicious! xo M
My entry is for Mali cuisine.
OH MY GOODNESS, my mouth is watering!!!!
I have never had any food that has been Peruvian before, it sounds delicious!!
So today I would like to try a scrumptious dish from Peru!
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
This food looks delicious – especially the Pasison in the Pacific – yum! And not a guinea pig in sight …
Oh my goodness, forget the food – I’ll eat anything to have a hour or two of that kind of eye candy any day!.
I’ll just have one Alejandro served up to my plate please!
*drools*
I haven’t tried Peruvian food.
I’ve never tried Peruvian cuisine, never even really knew much about it. Thanks for the insight!
A cuisine I have never tried is Armenian food.
The first cuisine that comes to mind is…Russian cuisine. I remember your post about “Romance” restaurant in Kingsford and it’s a cuisine that I have yet to try!
Girlfriend just recently returned from a trip to Peru her family comes for there she had a ball and said the food where she was was amazing stay with relations. This has opened up all our thoughts on Peru as a place to know more about. I however have never tasted any delicacies from there.
Enjoying reading your blog’s makes for a great break to my boring day.
I’ve never tried Icelandic food – maybe that would be an excuse to visit what is described to be an interesting place!
He’s so good looking! Reminds me of Ricky Martin, actually.
I’ve tried lots of food in Canada but never Eskimo cuisine. Maybe this speciality turned me away for a while:
“A special treat is the fresh liver, which the chef will tear out straight from the seal at your table. Eat it quickly, (while it’s still steaming), because that’s how you get your vitamin C and D.”
Man that place looks pretty good.
I’m fascinated by those foods that one might otherwise shy away from. I’d love to try some Khmer food like fried tarantula, or South Korean food like dog… expand the mind & the palate…
I’ve never had Peruvian food; as a matter of fact, the only South American cuisine we get in these parts is Brazilian churrascos. But now you’ve made me want to go and try it!
Using your Peruvian experience as a cue, I’ve never tried any of the South American cuisines. Having a churassco would be easy though I’d prefer a dish from the country that has Lake Titicaca (that name always makes me giggle!).
Wow – all those dishes look AMAZING! And Alejandro is VERY good looking as well
I’ve never had Peruvian food, but I definitely want to now!
Well, since you have introduced it to me – Peruvian looks amazing, and I would love to try it!
Peruvian!!!!
One cuisine I haven’t tried and I really should is Pinoy food.
Will you be sharing those antichuchos? You should!
Peruvian, Nepealese… hmmm when i think about im sure there is alot more that i havent tried!
that looks delicious! I have been wanting to try peruvian food ever since i came back from fiji (weird i know) in fiji i first tasted cassava and taro which i adore and i know they are used in peruvian food too.
the other cuisine i want to try.. this might sound a bit sad, but japanese, I mean i have had sushi and all that but i have yet to try any other proper japanese food. I should really do it…
Hi Lorraine,
I’ve never tried Ethiopian cuisine, but would love to!
Well I HAVEN’T tried Peruvian. Or Eithoiopean…
Peruvian!
Yummy. That looks fabulous. I must try Peruvian cuisine sometime although Laotian is another that I have been curious about for quite a while. I understand that there’s some to be found in Cabramatta and your excellent post about the food tour through Cabramatta has reminded me that I must get out there soon!
I have never tried Peruvian cuisine but now I feel I simply must do so!
Also, I had to giggle at all the close up shots you have of Alejandro. He is quite attractive, es que no?
If anyone is looking for great Ethiopian most of it is to be found in Melbourne. I recommend Africa Town in Footscray as one of the better ones. I’m yet to find a Sydney restaurant that’s purely Ethiopian and will be happy if anyone knows of one. *missing yummy Ethiopian foods*
Peruvian!
Believe it or not, I’ve never tried Vietnamese because Mr Pimi is not a fan but one day I will
I’ve never tried Peruvian food before!!! (… but I’d like to after reading your story!)
Thank-you!
To my shame, I have never had Russian. I have eaten a range of animals, including the native nandu (sp) in Chile, however.
I am yet to try Peruvian & it looks soooo good!
It’s so nice to read this post & get the mental image of deep-fried guinea pigs out of my head (thanks Rough Guide tv show!)and appreciate the finer details of Peruvian cuisine.
Since moving to Australia I’ve been introduced to a lot of fabulous food I’d not tried before – Ethiopian & Armenian, to name two great examples, and I’ve had the pleasure of trying food from places like Togo, Romania & Estonia, thanks to the international college I attended before that. I think that’s what’s made me such a foodie!
Anyway, what haven’t I tried but would like to? To my shame, I’ve not had Filipino food before. I’d like to rectify that soon!
i was thinking before i finished reading…where is the guinea pig… my husband tried it but i didn’t he said it taste like chicken…… but i can’t get out of my head how it was platted up…. deep fried served whole….
ever since i saw “the long way round” i would love one day to travel to mongolia not too sure about the food ….
As a Peruvian, I was very exited to read about Alejandro’s project in Good Living. Having seen this post, I can say I’m proud of his efforts. He’s taken our generally homely, albeit incredibly delicious cuisine (no bias, promise!) to a gourmand audience without betraying or overly westernising it. I found a bit of cheek here and there with the purple corn ice cream which is a clever tribute to our Chicha Morada, a sweet drink made out of the corn, and the intricate presentation of the anticuchos which in reality are readily available at street vendors and were my favourite food as a girl. Also I see that he’s balanced out our coastal seafood against our earthy andean dishes, perhaps next time he can include some Amazonean dishes too.
Thank you Alejandro for taking on this great task and raising awareness, it’s time our Peruvian cuisine got the attention it humbly deserves!Lastly I’m really happy to read the enthusiasm in these comments, I assure you Peruvian food is all different types of delicious.
PS: A food I have yet to try is Moroccan, despite the ever-growing popularity of the tagine!
I don’t think I’ve tried true true Mexican yet.. haha.
Isn’t that a little loco~? ^^
I have never tried peruvian cuisine. Your post has made me very curious. So excited to try it. Alejandro is so cute tee hee…
Hmmm, ive never tried Peruvian food either and it looks like it would be great but ive also never tried german food.
I have nottasted the Passion at the Pacific. It looks absolutely delicious
Wow I envy you for that dinner! I spent a few months in Lima,Peru in spring 2005 and fell in love with Peruvian kitchen,it is amazing, with all the ingredients that they have. And Pisco sour, yummy! In one of the dishes you had choclo, that white big corn, which is the best type of corn I have ever tasted, can you find that corn in Australia?
that punch sounds delicious, and the plating of every single dish is so artistic and appetizing! i didn’t know the chinese population was so strong in peru–my mind has grown.
and no, i’m still not a resident of australia.
Sounds an incredible night – my friends visited Peru and came back with a Pisco Sour addiction (which I now share). I think my cuisine to taste would be Polish – I hear so much of peirogi and lovingly cooked food from grandmothers -anything cooked with love is my choice!
What a great article! I am going to one of teh degustation menus at the Sheraton.
I am peruvian and very proud of Alejandro’s achievements and certain he will go to greater things.
Never tried Iranian food, Middle eastern is a fav food of mine; but have yet to try Iranian.
I am elated Alejandro is bringing (peruvian) food of such quality, can’t wait to try!
Way to go Alejandro
Wow…such interesting flavours. Hmm…I think I’ve never had proper Afghan cuisine before. I have tried home-cooked Peruvian food though, including purple corn jelly, but luckily no cuy!(a friend’s mum made me stay for lunch – I didn’t say no)
The cuisine of Greenland. I hear seal and polar bear are a speciality!!! Don’t judge until you’ve tried it i guess…
Ethiopian food! i’ve been told that there’s a real tasty ethiopian restaurant in newtown – yet to try it =]
After reading this,definitely Peruvian. Would also like to try a traditional Carribean cuisine.
Love your blog!! Keep up the good work and the good eating!
I cant enter, too bad
but I wanted to I love your pics of the chef in action!
Huh! How interesting. Now I’m curious about all the quarantine laws…
I’ve never tried Peruvian food. Looks really interesting!
Ethiopian cuisine. Spicy and exotic.
I’ve never tried Laotian food. Tragically!
I have never has Sushi so I would like to try that, maybe not the raw fish, but we will see how game I am….
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
Hmm I’ve actually never had Malaysian food before – I can’t handle food that’s too spicy
any non-spicy malay food you can recommend?
I’ve never tasted Peruvian food before but this menu looks amazing. I’d probably bypass the beef heart as I’m not an offal fan and the Guinea pig is definitely a NO-GO zone for me as well.
As for cuisines not yet tried, Russian and Nordic spring to mind but as there are so many out there, one would probably need more than a lifetime to taste each and every one.
Alpaca Meat! Wow – your pictures of it reflect accurately your description – resembles roast beef.
So my choice dish of course will be “Olluco (Andean tuber) pearls with cured Alpaca meat and Andean grains”…
I haven’t tried Mongolian either. Preferably I’d like to try it without the burning manure smoke.
Ceviche is the only Peruvian dish that I have tried and loved so it is certainly a cuisine that I would love to experience further.
Wow….I’m not one who can usually ignore food, but the chef had me totally distracted in this post!
Anyway….back to the food. Looks and sounds delicious, as always. Peruvian food is definitely something I haven’t experienced before.
sounds like you & Mr NQN had a good night, Lorraine.
I’m actually surprised at how many of the dishes you guys ate that I would like to try! There were only a couple (the ones with fish/seafood! LOL) that I’d pass on…everything else, I’d definitely try.
One cuisine that I’ve not tried, but would like to one day, is Moroccan. I would love to go to Marrakech, wander through a spice market, then eat and eat and eat! LOL
I haven’t try Peruvian cuisine and I’m single too… wait.. I mean I haven’t try Peruvian cuisine yet
Tibetan cuisine.
I’ve never tried Romanian food which the Hairy Bikers have profiled.
I forgot to mention that I spotted your table on 2nd picture, the one with a bag hanging on the table, rite?
I have never had real Chinese, not our western stuff but he real one, like chicken feet and eye balls etc, maybe one day I will be brave enough.
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
Japanese – want to try it but no raw fish whilst I’m pregnant
Scandanavian
Wow there are so many foods I have never tried, I’ve never had brains.
African!
Russian. Have tried loads of South American cuisines and love them all. My best friend is Chilean, the marinated slow cooked meats on a spit, drool. Nothing Russian except vodka
Norwegian cuisine.
What great pictures! I went to Peru last year and fell in love with the food but hard to find the ingredients! Wish I was in Sydney for the time of the dinners. Hope to be there for the next time.
There are many cuisine I have yet to try. I am going to start alphabetically
A- Arabian cuisine ( I have tried African so this is the one I can think of)
Hmm… I’ve never had Persian food. Always wanted to try it…
Um lets see, I have never been game enough to pate as I know what it is made from, maybe that would be one to try.
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
This restaurant is on the list for the next time I visit Sydney. Yes Peruvian cuisine is one of many that I have not tried. We are being exposed to so many cuisines now introduced into our country. I have really enjoyed this post, I am drooling over every pic.
i’ve never had swedish cuisine other than the $1 hot dogs at ikea! lol
No he probado nunca la comida peruana, pero creo que algun dia la probare. Tiene una pinta sabrosa, aunque eso del corazon me da un poco de yu-yu.
¿El bully de Sydney es como el de Barcelona? Supongo que si por sus camareras
Va por ti Coralito. El cocinero, perdon CHEF, apunta muy buenas maneras, pero debe mejorar la paella valenciana o el cochinillo cuchifrito, aunque le deben salir espectaculares.
B- Bosnian cuisine
I think there are usually lots of beans but not sure..
Finnish cuisine.
Wow – how good does all that look! Apart from never trying Peruvian, I’ve never tried Afghani either – I always walk past the most delicious looking afghanistan restaurant near my parents house, but never go in. I think I may just have to one day very soon!
What about Russian today, I have never had Russian, I wonder what that would be like.
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
I have never try Sichuan cuisine (China). I cannot eat anything spicy so I can never push myself to try this. But all the dry chillies and chilli oil look really good.
food looks great! congratulations… by the way he has great taste in woman too… i saw him last night with a beautiful spanish lady! lucky u!!! so girls im sorry but i dont think he’s single… lol but I am
C- Cambodian cuisine
Peruvian food is a food that I have never tried.
My best friend is from Peru but she is unable to produce true Peruvian food as she can’t access the right ingredients, especially as we live in the country. If I was to win I would share the ingredients with her.
I have never tried african food!
I think food from the heart of Africa would be interesting, I have had African game meat and I have also had some African Cuisine form the East Coast of Africa but I would like to try food from the middle of Africa the deep jungle food.
busybbee05(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au

Although its description is not immediately appealing I wouldn’t mind trying scottish haggis :0)
peruvian cuisine sounds great, but if you can enjoy it in Sidney sounds challenging. I love challenges, so please book me a nice table whith a beautiful waitress (coralito will be perfect), some nice peruvian food and that will be and unforgetable experience.
