About this item
About the Actor
Gston Acurio is a chef, entrepreneur, and a leader of Peruvian cuisine. With more than 50 restaurants in 12 countries, many award winning books, and a weekly TV show, Acurio has received worldwide acclaim for starting a gastronomical revolution in Peru.
In the late 1980s, following the advice of his family, Acurio began his studies in law school. But his passion for food was stronger, so he decided to pursue a culinary arts career at Le Cordon Bleu Paris. While abroad, Acurio met his wife Astrid. In 1994, the couple returned to Peru and founded their restaurant, Astrid & Gastón. With their Parisian background, the restaurant had originally a French style, but over time Acurio began to experiment with Peruvian ingredients, and the restaurant became one of the first beacons of Peruvian haute cuisine. Astrid&Gaston has been awarded Number 1 restaurant in South America and is currently in position number 18 in the San Pellegrino s 50 best world restaurants.
Aside from his restaurant s success, Gaston is a true inspiration for Peruvians, a chef with a philosophy that food and cooks play an important role in promoting nation s identity and that it can reunite the country and help to make people s life better. He is a man who puts ethics and justice above personal interests and uses his money, international recognition and culinary skills as tools to help his country.
