Reviews

the epitome of great Peruvian food; fresh, bold and exciting. Perfect for a summer dinner party
PSYCHOLOGIES
The book has the dual attraction for me of having 100 cool recipes and - maybe a niche consideration - a cool textured front cover that makes it look like a wall of tiles
Samuel Muston, THE INDEPENDENT
Ceviche, the citrus-cured fish dish, takes centre stage at the brilliant London restaurant of the same name. This offshoot book is more instructive than your typical 'restaurant cookbook', and will have you rustling up the ceviches and anticuchos (marinaded meat or fish skewers) before you know it. Martin Morales's passion for his home country's cooking practically leaps of the page - as does the lickable food photography
TIME OUT
Peruvians, as Paddington Bear fans will recall, like to keep their food under their hats. In Ceviche, Morales lifts the lid on his native cuisine, which is considered by Escoffier as among the best in the world. His book is a delight. Between stunning tiled covers, Morales sets off the eponymous delicacies of marinated raw fish with more comforting dishes, plus the frisky, pisco-based cocktails he serves at his restaurant in Soho. Not that these are tricky, chef-level recipes: it is mainly simple homely stuff
Nicki Sengit, THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Food book of the year'
Latin American restaurants are hot at the moment but this is the first cookbook to show how to make this exciting cuisine at home. There are so many flavours to explore: tongue-tingling ceviche, spiced meat and fish dishes, superfood grains and special ice cream
Sally Hughes, BBC GOOD FOOD
clean, zingy and refreshing, with a spicy kick
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
This place is brilliant. The cooking is super-confident, rare and interesting, the look of the room is great and the bar must be fantastic in the evening. The music is lovely and the staff are incredibly sweet and kind. And it's cheap. I never really want to go anywhere else again
Giles Coren, THE TIMES
Ceviche is a popular Peruvian seafood dish and is also the name Peruvian restaurateur Martin Morales gave to his London restaurant. Now Martin has published a cookbook of the same name offering his favourite recipes to show off Peruvian cuisine at its best. Foodies will love the refreshing recipes and if you don't recognise some of the ingredients, there's no need to worry - there's a useful section on suppliers for the harder-to-find ones.
