    Harriet’s Reading Picks: Central by Virgilio Martinez The cover and organization of Virgilio Martinez’s Central is designed to bring its reader to new culinary heights–literally. Peru’s structure lends to a stacked set of sundry ecosystems: semi-arid deserts, drizzly rainforests, imposing mountains, fertile farmlands, an omnipresent ocean–in fact, over eighty different climates comprise Peru’s enviable expanse. Martinez says so himself: “at Central, we cook ecosystems.” Such a buffet of biodiversity lends to a global a la carte of resources: a myriad of meats, seafood, and produce, but Peru’s diversity spans beyond the country’s borders. Martinez champions the history of immigration in Peru’s culinary foundation, with seamless integration of seemingly endless cultures, including Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Afro-Moor, and Arabian, that culminates into a compendium of Peruvian recipes and anecdotes close to Martinez’ heart. In short, the diversity of Peru’s land, people, and history, becomes the food they serve, and Martinez politely asks for his reader to take his hand and embark on a culinary journey that requires an open mind and an innate curiosity for food’s “next big thing”.Chef G’s Jerk Chicken
