Summary: <br> The majestic Peruvian Andes stretch the length of <br> Peru and have witnessed the rise and fall of many civilizations. By 3000 BC, <br> highlanders were cultivating a wide range of crops in this difficult <br> landscape—hardy, life-sustaining foods such as gourds, corn, potatoes and <br> quinoa. Potatoes provide the foundation of the Andean diet, and varieties <br> number in the thousands. A stroll through the Cusco market provides a glimpse <br> of the tantalizing potato options: at some stalls, the selections extend almost <br> as far as the eye can see. <br> <br> For recipes, visit <a href="http://www.ciaprochef.com/WCA">www.ciaprochef.com/WCA</a> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://cia.podbean.com/mf/web/jkxj9r/Peru10Highland_YT.mov">Download Podcast Video</a><br>
