Gastronomy has been a key point of Somos magazine since its creation in 1986. Through its pages, readers have witnessed the recognition and transformations that have occurred in the Peruvian table; in addition to knowing the faces of those who are today the great chefs of Peru.

This is how, from El Comercio, new awards dedicated to celebrating our gastronomy in all its dimensions were born: the Somos Awards, which also include six special recognitions determined by a jury chaired by the journalist Hirka Roca Rey. These are the Best ceviche, the Best hamburger, the Best makis and the Best pairing or cocktail in Lima, in addition to an award for Contribution of the Year (a character with a transcendental impact in the field during the period April 2022-April 2023) and the Bernardo Roca Rey Award for Gastronomic Trajectory.
