Pantry
Seasonings, oils, flours, and other shelf-stable products that form the base of a recipe.
Ingredients
An ingredient encyclopedia: what each product is and what to replace it with in Peru, organized by food type.
Every ingredient has its own overview page and, where relevant, a Peruvian
substitution guide (sustituto-peru). Independent of any single recipe —
a general reference.
Ingredients are organized by food type, not by recipe:
- Pantry: seasonings, oils, flours, and other shelf-stable products.
- Dairy: milk, butter, cheese, and cream.
- Processed: canned goods, frozen foods, and other second-transformation products.
- Fresh produce: vegetables, fruit, and other fresh products.
- Meat: beef, pork, chicken, and other meats.
- Fish & seafood: products from the sea.
