Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 7x13

Peru lies on the western coast of South America and is one of the continent’s largest countries. Our journey, however, takes us high into the Andes, to Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire and one of the most important cities in the region. Cusco is layered with history, from the early Killke culture to the Inca civilization, and later Spanish colonial influence built upon its foundations. Today, the city is home to around half a million people, and its narrow streets are filled with a deep sense of the past. This unique atmosphere drew Gabriel from Košice ten years ago. He fell in love with Cusco at first sight, began working in gastronomy, and now runs a small pizzeria on the edge of the city. Passionate about honest cooking, he believes great dough takes time and care, much like the life he has built here.
