Mariano Valderrama, Vice President of the Peruvian Gastronomy Society (APEGA) said that they estimate that their fair “Mistura 2009” will receive 100,000 visitors during its four days.

The event has been so successful that all the tickets were sold out, and they had to control the number of visitors since Peru's Civil Defense institute (INDECI) has established that the maximum number allowed should be 25,000 per day.

“Here anyone can find many anything they need, not only food; books, recipes, etc.,” he Valderrama said.

Yesterday, Marco André Gonzáles Barrantes (20) was chosen as the “Young Peruvian Cook” by a jury of renowned Peruvian cooks, including Gastón Acurio, the main organizer of the event.

It was reported that there were so many visitors on Saturday that Mistura organizers had to restrict the admission of people but allowed them to buy tickets for Sunday, September 27th.
