Peruvian food continues to gain popularity around the world and a growing number of people want to know how to prepare these exquisite dishes. Acclaimed Peruvian chef Diego Oka gave an online class explaining details of Peru's cuisine, with the participation of more than 40 opinion leaders from the USA.
The course was announced by sending digital cards to the media with an invitation to discover why Peruvian food has stepped into the international spotlight in recent years. Promperú provided the guests that RSVP'd with the recipes and ingredients needed to take part.
The journalists that participated in the class work for leading media outlets such as Zagat, Bite of the Best, Miami Magazine, O, The Oprah Magazine and the Miami Herald. Freelance journalists and writers such as Joyce Lafray also joined the online class. Each tweeted and sent photos of the typical Peruvian dishes they prepared with the hashtag #TasteofPeruLive. The messages were reposted on the @VisitPeru twitter account.
