DISCOVERING AMAZONIAN FOOD + sauce made from DEADLY ROOT!

Today I’m discovering Amazonian Food at amaZ restaurant with acclaimed chef Francesca Ferreyros. We’ll be eating many dishes using unique ingredients from the Amazon region in Peru like Paiche, one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. I will also try an ancestral sauce made from a deadly root! It’s called Tucupi Negro and it’s made from the fermented extract of Yuca Brava, a poisonous root. You won’t believe what this sauce tastes like! I was amaZed by the flavour profile.

Francesca Ferreyros, together with Pedro Miguel Schiaffino (chef/owner of amaZ) are leading this remarkable ingredient from roots deep in the rainforest to high-end food markets in an effort to economically support local communities, revitalize an ancient cultural tradition and open people’s hearts and minds to the Amazon through the unique power of food.
