Andina in Shoreditch produce the most exquisite Peruvian food for reasonable prices... I wish there was a restaurant like this closer. Instead everytime I go to London I have to get my fix of Peruvian food. So much inspiration with vegan and vegetarian dishes that I can try at home and 'veganise'.
Take the dish Tacu Tacu Quechua from Andina's Street Food section... a heady mix of braised aubergine, a quinoa patty and crumbled feta cheese. This recipe I will be stealing.

I went fully vegan with the beetroot tiradito; salt baked heritage beetroot in smoked tiger's milk, confit fennel and black quinoa with a garnish of salad leaves.

The dish ode to corn was divinely rich; a corn steamed dumpling, choclo corn succotash, sweet kale pesto and crushed cancha corn.... this I will try and emulate and produce a vegan version.
