At the front of a great kitchen is a great woman. A phrase that perfectly describes the story of chef Marilú Madueño. With creativity and leadership, her influence has permitted the Huaca Pucllana Restaurant to leave its mark on the panorama of peruvian cuisine. Fifteen years this is the length of time that Marilú Madueño has been at Huaca Pucllana, a restaurant that well deserves its place on the peruvian gourmet circuit. Marilu works with peruvian ingredients and as well as giving traditional recipes that special “Huaca” touch, her own creations have already become classics, such as the risotto with aromas of peruvian duck and rice or the alpaca.
