Our resident Peruvian chef, Nico, is cooking a special dinner featuring traditional dishes that have been passed down across generations—from his grandmother, to his mom, to him. His mom, Sara, is the guest of honor and throughout the evening she will share stories and memories of the food and food culture of her youth in Lima during the 1940’s and 50’s.

Papa a la Huancaina — a potato salad with spicy and creamy aji amarillo sauce
Tallarines con Pollo — a spaghetti and chicken dish that was popular as a Sunday meal among Lima’s working class; served with bread
Arroz con Leche — a sweet and creamy milk pudding
