A part and parcel of growing up in a close-knit family is preparing and cooking the food together and enjoyably eating the meal right after. Home-cooked meals may not be as lavish as those served in the finest restaurants but they surprisingly provide a wonderful feeling of satisfaction.
Last weekend after dining at this Peruvian restaurant, I felt transported back to my childhood days with Mom serving her finest Papa ala Huancaina. Her Causa Rellena is also one of my top favorites, which is mashed Potatoes filled with tuna or chicken and somewhat resembles the shepherd’s pie. Comfort foods bring back good memories to be cherished for a long time.
