Hello friends! I am very happy to be writing on the blog again and bringing you this recipe for a simple Peruvian Style Cilantro Beef Stew, known in Perú as “seco” stew. I am most fond of this dish because I made it a lot during my 2016 sabbatical, when I was away from home and feeling homesick for peruvian food. Making it for someone special encouraged me to repeat it every week. When you try it, you may notice the rich aroma of cilantro will make you hungry 😍. Español aquí.

Hello! This post is all about sun protection. My experience in Peru can be summed up as hot. It’s summer in Lima and I’m melting away. Only this week Senamhi, Peru’s weather institute measured radiation levels ranging from 14 to 19 on a scale of 20. For reference, a measurement of 5 is moderate, above 11 it is extremely high.

Of course you shouldn’t just protect yourself from the sun and radiation in Peru. Wherever and whenever, you should protect yourself. Did you know that UVA makes you look older faster? Keep reading for more tips to protect yourself from the sun! 🌞 Read more
Hello. I am really excited to share today’s recipe with you for one of my favorite Peruvian finger foods. I am referring to Peruvian style wonton (or wanton) cheese fingers or what we call “tequeños”. Personally I love them, in fact I have no self control when they are close to me. I also have a small surprise for you in the recipe video. I am very nervous about it and I really hope you like the recipe. Español aquí.
This week’s post has been waiting since October 🙊 and I really wanted to share it because it is very easy to make. I am referring to toasted or roasted pumpkin (or squash) seeds, which I made from the leftovers of my Halloween pumpkins. Español aquí.
