The Peruvian cuisine revolution captured in one film

“COOKING UP DREAMS,”  by Ernesto Cabellos (Peru, 2009)

Can an entire nation be represented by its cuisine? This documentary journeys to the kitchens of Peru’s coast, highlands and jungle, as well as Peruvian expat communities in Paris, London, Amsterdam and New York for answers.

From the most humble family kitchens to the poshest restaurants, from stories of pioneering Peruvian chefs abroad to those who preserve ancient recipes at home, we find that Peru’s cuisine is a deliciously integrating for its people, who have historically been marked by ethnic and economic differences.

“FAMILY” MINI-DOCUMENTARY PROJECT SEEKS ENTRIES

Posted on October 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Want to practice your documentary skills with a chance to win an iPad?

Deadline Nov. 15

Via the POV Website:

POV’s ‘This is My Family’ Project is Seeking Video Submissions!
For most of us, the classic family photo with matching sweaters and look-alike smiles doesn’t quite capture our family.
POV wants to hear real stories about your family from you.
Send us your videos, and you might receive an iPad or an iTouch!
Who is your “family”? Maybe your family is your group of friends, or your extended family. You could be an adoptee, an adoptive parent, part of a single-parent family, be an LGBTQ parent or child or a member of a foster family.
Help us expand the definition of “family” by submitting a video – no longer than 5 minutes – to ‘This Is My Family.’
