The tastes of Latin America are coming together for the very first edition of the Latin American Food Festival, led by renowned Peruvian Chef de Cuisine, Luis Rojas.
The real secret behind Hilton The Hague’s celebrated restaurant, Blue Blood, is its chef. Hilton The Hague succeeded in luring Chef Rojas away from Abu Dhabi, where he wore the toque at the Hilton restaurant on Yas Island. Trained in Lima and at the prestigious Cordon Bleu School—an epicenter of great cuisine in Latin America—Chef Rojas has honed his craft across the globe. Yet it is his roots and passion for Latin flavors that truly define his cooking.
Chef Rojas, a big, amiable, teddy bear of a man, exudes enthusiasm for the upcoming festival, which he has designed to be served in waves of dishes rather than courses. Each wave is both a feast for the eye and a sensation for the palate. Meeting him is a pleasure in itself—he speaks of his creations with vivid clarity, charming guests with his pride and passion.
H.E. Ms. Franca Deza Ferreccio, Ambassador of Peru to the Netherlands, expressed her congratulations to Blue Blood restaurant and, in particular, to Peruvian Chef Luis Rojas for organizing the Latin Food Festival, which will take place on Friday, October 17, 2025.
“We are confident that, as in previous editions of the Peruvian Food Festival, Chef Rojas will once again shine at this celebration dedicated to Latin American cuisine, demonstrating his talent, creativity, and commitment to promoting the rich flavors of our region.
The Embassy of Peru extends its best wishes to Blue Blood restaurant and its talented Peruvian chef, Luis Rojas, for the greatest success in this new culinary initiative.”
This festival will celebrate the rich culinary traditions of Latin America, offering an extensive buffet filled with authentic dishes that showcase the diversity, color, and flavor of the region. “For me, food is more than taste; it is memory, tradition, and celebration. Through this festival, I want to share the warmth and spirit of Latin America with every guest,” says Chef Rojas.
