This dish might sound simple, but its flavour is exceptional. It’s one of those dishes I ask for when I visit my mom’s house in Perú. I know I said on the Ceviche video last week that I hate coriander and parsley, and that remains the same. However, I don’t know why I do like cooked coriander (parsley is another story… keep it out). This recipe is cooked in coriander (the chicken AND the rice), which gives it that intense green colour.

Crema volteada is the Peruvian version of the Flan / Heaven’s Bacon. The recipe arrived from the Spanish conquest and then was modified as the years went by to today’s recipe. It’s super smooth because it’s made with condensed milk and evaporated milk and in this recipe I’ll give you all the tips for and absolute perfect result. It’s really easy to make and once you get the hang of it, you’ll be making it non stop….

The 28th of July is Peru’s independence day and I thought I would cook up some Peruvian dishes for you guys to celebrate! This dish is actually a “tiradito”, which is basically a ceviche cut in thin slices instead of cubes and without the raw red onion on top. “Nikkei” is the name of the fusion between Japanese and Peruvian cuisines that started because of a large migration of Japanese people at the end of the 19th century. That’s why we’re using tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil and cucumber for this dish. You can also replace the tuna for a white fish or even salmon. For the crispy quinoa on top I used this recipe; it’s super easy to make. It looks really fancy but it’s actually quite easy to achieve.

For a while now I’ve received requests from you guys that you wanted me to teach you how to make apple strudel, always with the side note of “but also how to make the dough from scratch.” So because I don’t have any German or Austrian heritage, I had to research for a nice dough recipe that I thought I could trust. That’s how I arrived to the blog Lil’ Vienna where I found a recipe that looked really good. So the dough recipe is by them and they also have a very nice traditional viennese strudel recipe if want to try it out. Mine however is a bit different and it has a major twist which is that I used finely chopped walnuts instead of the traditional breadcrumbs to cover the dough before rolling it out and I think it gives it an extra splash of flavour. …

Scones are delicious for breakfast and tea time. I’ve had tons during the last few years and I have to say that these are by far the best I’ve ever has. They’re super moist and that lemon flavour is jut great. A good replacement for poppy seeds are black sesame seeds….

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a vegan recipe (or at least on purpose) before on the blog! I’m really happy with this one because it’s SO tasty it really doesn’t need any meat in it at all. The chickpeas are really nice and the intense tomato flavour and spinach help lift the dish up….

These are not only super easy to make, but they are also incredibly delicious and obsession-worthy. The churro dough goes nice and crunchy on the outside and stays soft inside… and I don’t think I have to get started on how nice nutella is, right? You could also replace it with caramel or dulce de leche. No dip needed for these as it’s contained inside! And as a contrast to other churro balls I’ve seen, since these are stuffed, you don’t get a huge bite of dough. Also, they cook better as the heat doesn’t need to get all the way to the core….

Father’s day is coming up and I had to do wings because in my family all men love them! They’re nice and spicy (adjust to your own tolerance) and compensated really well with the cool and fresh sour cream dip. I baked these, but they also do perfectly on a grill in case you’re planning a barbecue in the near future. Happy father’s day!…

I haven’t yet met someone who doesn’t like a nice and moist loaf. This recipe is incredibly tasty and the cinnamon sugar in between really makes it pop. It’s soft, sweet, looks adorable, and really melts in your mouth. It’s perfect for an afternoon tea, or breakfast, or… well, just any time you’re hungry really! I love the way the cinnamon swirl looks when you cut into it….

I love the flavours embedded in the meat when using a Korean barbecue style marinade. This time I decided to use these flavours to make delicious tacos and use the marinade as a sauce for them as well. I love how all the elements of the taco work together: the coleslaw and cucumber adding freshness, the avocado brings creaminess and the tortilla is just the perfect carb to bring them all together. …
