As I said before, the peruvian cuisine is one of the best in the world. But it isn’t due to have all the ingredients and an unique way to prepare them: it’s because a lot of our own dishes are mixed with others; because we have a way to make them that it’s the result of mixing a lot of ways… we can bring the best ingredients of the world, add them some of ours and obtain a delicious new course. This is one example. This recipe is for 8 to 10 people.

The cauliflower is an excellent vegetable. Its main component is the water, so it has a little quantity of calories, carbohydrates, proteins and fats. But it a good source of fiber, vitamin B6 and B5, folic acid and minerals. This is an old and traditional peruvian recipe (and, in this case, for 8 people). If you don’ like the cauliflower (or if you don’t have it) you can use broccoli, its “cousin”. Thanks for the suggestion, Lissette!

The peruvian pisco is a very versatile drink, and if you never thought that the yogurt could be part of a drink, think it again and take the strawberry yogurt, pisco and ice: it’s all what you need to prepare a delicious beverage. Just be careful: you can get “happier” easily 
This recipe is for 2 cups of cocktail.
