Peruvian mixed with Chinese and Japanese might seem like an odd combination, but the menu at Jos� Andr�s's new Penn Quarter restaurantChina Chilcano is far from a random kitchen experiment. "It's not fusion at all," says ThinkFoodGroup Director of Research and Development Rick Billings. "We're really not creating new styles. We're paying homage to the food and the culture." The influx of immigrants from Asian countries to Peru in the late 19th century has naturally bred cuisines the fuse together ingredients and techniques from both sides of the globe. Chifa (Chinese) and Nikkei (Japanese) are now very much engrained in Peruvian cuisine. |

Twenty years ago, Peru was a no-man's-land for homespun documentaries, a country reeling from an internal civil war, economic meltdown and a dictatorship that resembled a cross between a drug cartel, the agents in The Matrix and Mr. Bean.
The president was clumsy and liked to dress up in funny outfits with silly hats, but he also had a penchant for corruption and secret death squads and turned the country's media into his own personal PR team.
In this climate of fear and censorship, a handful of 20-somethings decided to form an association of independent filmmakers. They had no formal education, little training and no equipment or funds; people said they were either crazy or brave (they were both).
The troupe was encouraged by Stefan Kaspar, a Swiss filmmaker who had been living in Peru since the late 1970s and was even crazier and braver than his proteg�s. Stefan gave the young dreamers a room in his house, lent them equipment and provided advice and training. He had a good deal of knowledge to impart; Stefan was one of the founding members of Grupo Chaski, a Peruvian film collective formed in the early 1980s that had developed its own revolutionary style.
