Ode to Peruvian Table Bread
Bread basket at Oqre The best bread ever is in Peru. What a discovery! Until our recent trip, I had always assumed French baguettes and Italian focacias were the best. However, we were happily surprised and our taste buds were delighted to learn the truth. Table bread at La Vista From our very first dinner in Lima at La Vista ( JW Marriott ), we noticed unique flavors and textures.
