n.4 / Authentic local culture AUTHENTICITY IS EVERYTHING Carlo Bermudez, Silver Galápagos Chef Throughout my years sailing the Galápagos with Silversea, cruise after cruise, one thing has remained constant: the deep love our guests feel for our customs and our cuisine. They are curious about absolutely everything: from the local food to our rich and vibrant culture, from which ingredients make up our signature dishes to how to prepare local recipes like our world-famous ceviche. This is why we made sure Silver Origin provides only the most authentic culinary experience possible for our guests. And when we spend time together, we open up to our cultures and enrich the lives of all of us. Our guests will learn more about the incredible diversity of both the Galápagos and of Ecuadorian culture, while gaining in-depth insight into the local flora and fauna and how they’ve evolved to create this unique ecosystem over time. In the kitchen, we bring them truly authentic Ecuadorian recipes with only the freshest local ingredients, all accompanied by the best in regional wines. And in our live gourmet preparation sessions and seminars, they experience for themselves how to create and recreate all the flavors Ecuador and the Galápagos have to offer. “¡Buen provecho!” 12
