Restaurant Review – La Onceava
I’m having fun lately going out to a lot of different restaurants. It’s something we didn’t do much of when the boys were smaller; now that they’re a little older and have more “discerning” palates, they’re starting to enjoy trying different things too. This last week, however, we were invited out to lunch by one [...]
Restaurant Review – Lobo de Mar- Cevicheria in Lima Peru
A while back, The Hubs, Chato and I went to a new restaurant. Well, the restaurant wasn’t new, but it was our first time going. I planned on doing a review, and then never got around to it because my camera was damaged the next day – holding all my pics hostage! I finally paid [...]
Parmesan Fish
Parmesan fish (or parmesan seafood in general) is one of my absolute favorite dishes, but I had never made it at home before. Like the risotto dish from Monday, I thought it was too complicated a dish for me to do well. Boy was I wrong! It’s really simple to do and very few ingredients [...]
Restaurante El Cevichon
Instead of going out for my birthday, we decided to save a little cash and combine it with Father’s Day. That’s why on Sunday, the Hubs, the boys and I all headed off to our favorite ceviche place, “El Cevichon” (The Big Ceviche – I love that name!) over on Av. de la Rosa Toro [...]
Grilled Swordfish Anticuchos
While anticuchos are generally thought of as grilled beef heart, the term “anticucho” is basically used for any food grilled on a stick. We all know how delicious grilled fish is. The Peruvian style, marinated in an aji sauce before grilling, is a very special treat. Served with fried yuca (or potatoes) and grilled corn [...]
Guiso de Bacalao for the Semana Santa
Catholic tradition is to eat fish on Friday. Fridays are traditionally a day of penance in the Catholic religion, to commemorate the crucifixion of Christ. (Side note – it’s why McDonald’s serves the Filet-o-Fish sandwich, sales of burgers dropped off so much on Fridays, they had to come up with an alternative!) Good Friday – [...]
Chilcano de Pescado
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a recipe for the Chilcano de Pisco, a delightful Pisco drink. At the time, I said not to confuse it with Chilcano de pescado, which is a fish soup. Then I got to thinking, the best way to make sure no one gets them mixed up would be [...]
Fish Eaten in Peru
With it’s long coastline, it’s no surprise that seafood is so popular in Peru. The coastal communities especially have a long history of delicious fish and seafood dishes. There’s not only the well-known ceviche; there’s also all manner of soups, fried dishes, baked, broiled and dishes with sauces. There are also markets with a wide [...]
Sudado de Pescado
When I first moved to Peru, my husband’s house was basically empty. He had been living out of the country, and the rest of his family had been using his home for storage of the things they didn’t need. As I got settled in, we started buying appliances; one of the first things we got [...]

I got tired of life happening while I made other plans, so I quit my job and came to Peru. I live here with my Peruvian husband, two sons, three dogs and various other family members, depending on the weather.
