Earlier this year, Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz of the celebrated Astrid y Gastón restaurant at Casa Moreyra in Peru held a three-day pop-up at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, presenting an eight-course menu that took guests on a culinary journey through the chef’s home country.

Muñoz, who refined his craft with apprenticeships under the likes of Andoni Aduriz and Ferran Adria, is a visionary who uses his skills in the kitchen to educate discerning diners on Peruvian culture. In the video below, Muñoz demonstrates sarza de patitas, which is a popular snack inspired by a classic recipe of pig trotters served with onion, lime and mustard.
