Food Adventures in Lima 

9/4/2015

Last week was a whirl wind - I got up to speed with the people and projects of Nexos Comunitarios and I am pretty sure I ate everything in Lima, in the company of some pretty amazing people. And really what better joy in life then good food in good company


The coffee was to die for... The fresh homemade juices incredible.... and the ceviche... well there is no words to describe how amazing it was!! 


For those who don't know what ceviche is, it is a costal Peruvian dish that mixes raw fish and seafood, which is then acid cooked in lime juice, with onions, cilantro, and chillies and then topped with crunchy salted corn.

Apart from the ceviche, and coffee, and fresh juices, we gorged on chewy brownies, fresh organic pizza which used avocado in place of cheese, and a lot of fresh Indian food made by Yusra and myself. We were making the food for a fundraiser for Nexos Comunitarios and our menu consisted of aloo gobi and spinach curry, along with chicken curry and rice. For dessert we made faluda - a rich Indian milkshake that is rose flavoured. It was all very delicious. 


It was my first time truly teaching cooking, and it was super fun - between running around getting food and spices at the markets and grocery stores, and prepping the food for the classes, and then showing people what to do - I loved it!!
