Rediscovering Peruvian xxx: desserts of today and yesteryear

Not my kind of stuff; so just to get the ball rolling.

Don't know if "yesteryear" is such a good idea, but I'd maintain the Spànish structure - no "genetivo sajón".

agree Taña Dalglish : It is a good title! May be "pastries". Here is something in English: http://comosur.com/2014/03/14/peruvian-desserts-demystified/ //Nor do I!

Thanks. (TBH I really have no idea what Peruvian desserts are like.)

Thanks Joshua
agree Charles Davis : Probably very sweet, I would guess, judging from the Bolivian ones I've tried, but maybe not.

You could also say: Rediscovering Peruvian treats: desserts past and present but I like the first version better.

agree patinba : Perhaps just "discovering" as "present" ones are not being rediscovered?

Rediscovering Peruvian Confectionery: Traditional and Contemporary Recipes

I think the idea of "traditional and contemporary" works well in this context.

Reinventing the Peruvian pudding: traditional recipes for today

The accompanying text makes it clear that this book is more about reinvention than rediscovery ('una nueva mirada', 'reinvenciones'...) and I think it works better.

Pudding rather than sweet or dessert a) for the alliteration with Peruvian and b) because things like 'arroz con leche' are strictly speaking puddings.

I thought about 'saving' or 'restoring' as possible equivalents for 'al rescate de' and they might also work, though they do suggest endangered species or crumbling old buildings respectively. I believe 'reinvention' works best.
