Food continent

Nueva in Delhi goes beyond South American staples to offer a burst of fresh, indigenous flavours

There is more to South American fare than a Peruvian ceviche or a tiradito. It is to showcase the rich bounty of dishes and culinary styles the continent has to offer that Michael Swamy, chef, photographer and food stylist, launched Nueva in Delhi recently. The latest addition to a bevy of eateries such as The Fatty Bao and Ziu in the Sangam Courtyard, Nueva is being touted as India’s first South American restaurant.  

It was back in 1990s that South American cuisine burst onto the food scene, with Peruvian flavours being hailed as the next big thing in gastronomy. Since
