El presente artículo de revisión tiene por objetivo, exponer información esencial sobre la culinaria tradicional de las comunidades del valle del Mantaro y situarla en el contexto crítico contemporáneo. Para su desarrollo se desplegó una metodología de revisión bibliográfica de la etnografía local sobre cultura alimentaria; a través, de fichas bibliográficas de registro de datos extraídos. Asimismo, se cualificó como fuente primaria, documentos de divulgación local, que es el más preciso en detalles de valoración de este acervo. De la revisión, se concluyó que la diversidad culinaria, explicitada en técnicas y saberes tradicionales, fueron determinantes de la identidad de sus productores en el valle del Mantaro. También, que el registro etnográfico de 1928 a 1990 evidencia una cultura de la comida sublimada en los afanes de sus protagonistas.
