eric got me into last year. so that's why we're in peru. but before we get all indiana jonesin lima, as we like the capital city just fine. and we have, both of us, from previous trips, friends here. lima is the cultural hub and culinary capital of a country that has exploded in the last decade with scores of world class chefs, cooks and restaurants. it has long been considered to be one of the best food scenes in all of south america. >> good. >> how far away is the house? >> that's it. >> yeah. >> five minutes. >> one of our friends here is chef restaurateur, coque ossio, one of the best most successful chefs in the country. his family is something of a beloved culinary dynasty in peru. and pucusana, a small fishing village about an hour south of lima is where they spend their weekends. coque's mom, marisa guiulfo, is like peru's julia child and james beard rolled into one. >> thank you for having us. >> a cookbook author, an icon of peruvian gastronomy. to say one is fortunate to enjoy her hospitality would be an understatement. warm, generous, welcoming beyond belief. >>
