About Me

Carloncho
My name is Carloncho, which is a common nickname for Carlos in Peru. I was born in Peru to a Peruvian father and American mother. We moved to Miami during the economic and political turmoil that took place in the 80s. Peruvian food is growing in popularity and recognition. However, I have realized that few good resources of information regarding the cuisine, cooking methods, recipes, ingredients, or even restaurants exist...and even fewer are available to the non-Peruvian. This blog is a humble attempt to make one of the largest and most diverse cuisines in the world more accessible. Additionally, I am attempting to delve into the heart and soul of Peruvian cuisine to see what, essentially, makes it Peruvian. There will be many recipes that use Peruvian techniques and ingredients in new and creative ways, as well as many other "perfected" Peruvian recipes. I hope you all enjoy!!!
