Went to the Port El Callao in Lima and visited some old houses but also the pretty rough beach where I used to swim . Rocky and full of currents. My favourite. Found also old heavy fisherman’s boats. This area was mostly settled by Italians. 🥰🥹

Today we visited the oldest house of the Americas. Belonging to the Aliaga family since its construction in 1535 in the main square in Lima. Amazingly it has survived earthquakes, wars and terrorism. Extremely well kept. Gorgeous 🥰♥️

Have you ever had udon noodles freshly made and prepared with “leche de tigre” and Peruvian hot peppers like a ceviche? That is classic Nikkei Peruvian cuisine 😋 @chefericfeltman.bsky.social

Last night we went to the #1 Nikkei restaurant in Lima. Hibrid of Peruvian and Japanese food. A wonderful experience. Not sure if I could pick my favourite as it was 💯 seafood and extremely fresh and properly served. Presentation was a work of art @chefericfeltman.bsky.social
Fresh shellfish of various types with seaweed, a spicy onion ginger sauce and hot peppers Tiradito of a very unusual fish . The raw fish is covered with a Peruvian -Japanese citrus-ginger brine just before serving 3 types Fish prepared in typical Nikkei way. Raw but seared at the table This is a very Nikkei combination of wagyu beef with urchin. Also raw but seared at the table

Finally got around to take pics of daily delicious fish dishes in Peru. This “picantería “ had a mountain of fresh fish on ice to choose from. After you choose yours, they do it 3 ways (bbq, ceviche, steamed for us). And then a clear fish broth .

We are open when we come We are close when we are gone And if you come and we are not here, is that we didn’t coincide

Visiting my childhood landmarks in Lima. This Olive Garden was planted shortly after the foundation of Lima in 1535 by Jesuit priests. Olives are still delicious. 🤤

I did my quiche/pie with phyllo pastry. Filling similar to yours but broccoli in mine. Not lots of cheese because of my lactose deficiency. I used skyr too. As always, my presentation is sadly lacking. 🍽️🍜

@chefericfeltman.bsky.social I finally made your Himalayan soup. Minor adjustment with the number of hot peppers 😁. It is one of the best soups ever! After minestrone, I think this will become my favourite. ♥️ thank you for sharing this gem my friend. 🙏

Good evening friends. Happy Thanksgiving for those from 🇨🇦. @chefericfeltman.bsky.social I took the baked wontons to the Thanksgiving dinner.They were a hit! So was the dipping sauce for which I had to use whiskey as I had no cognac 😉 realized that I could not fold them like classic ones: <

I did these seeded cookies (just seeds, honey and an egg). Then coated one side with bittersweet chocolate. Really healthy 😁. 🍽️🍜

Hoping you are having a wonderful weekend. You would be surprised to know that I did a focaccia 😁 simple, just garlic-infused olive oil. The scent is amazing. Not much kneading needed.

They made me wait until October and then they exploded in blooms. They are around the ramp to the deck where my husband used to sit in his wheelchair and enjoy his flowers and birds. 😢 I am no green thumb but gotta keep his garden where he spent so many years marveling at his beauties.

Yesterday I had done a beautiful chicken stock with a whole chicken, ginger and green onions (green part). So today I had chicken noodle soup and chicken salad with cornichons. I love strong tasting black olives from Peru in my soup (aceitunas de botija). Any of you put black olives in your soup?

I wanted to share that I did Kostya’s Russian Cabbage soup recipe from about a month ago. If you chat with him @chefericfeltman.bsky.social
Please let him know that came out fantastic and the aroma! The whole house somehow felt comforting.
