In this joyful tour of Peruvian gastronomy, award-winning chef and Peru's unofficial ambassador of cuisine, Gastón Acurio, proves that the best food nourishes the soul as well as the body.
The documentary offers beautifully presented, mouth-watering food but ultimately becomes memorable due to the charisma and ethos of its subject - Gastón Acurio, whose flagship restaurant, Astrid y Gaston, appears annually in any list of the world’s best restaurants. Perez films him traveling the country, speaking to children about the riches of the land, sampling regional fare and praising local farmers and fisherman practicing traditional methods.
