Rediscovering Peruvian xxx: desserts of today and yesteryear
Explanation:
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  patinba: Perhaps just "discovering" as "present" ones are not being rediscovered?

Reinventing the Peruvian pudding: traditional recipes for today


Explanation:
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.
