I am a self made Chef with 20+ years of cooking ,born in Lima, Peru, now called the best Gastronomic Country in America. I also write on food and was the main writer for the Gastronomy page of a major Lima newspaper for 5 years. I am thinking of writing a book with the articles and my recipes.I am, also, a professional food translator from the English to Spanish pair working for several clients.
My favorite things to cook
Beef, Slow cooked dishes, Authentic Peruvian food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
A hand written cookbook that belonged to my grandmother.
My cooking triumphs
Cooking a lunch, composed of dishes created by me, for 36 of my school friends at one of our monthly lunches.
My cooking tragedies
Having 12 people waiting for Risotto at the table and, I will never know why, the rice (it was Arborio by the way) never fully cooked.
