You may be wondering why I’m posting a restaurant review when we’re all in the joys of quarantine and social distancing.

This is what winter looks like in the district of Lima.
Well at the Reserva Nacional de Lachay (or Lomas de Lachay) anyway! Once you escape the dusty desert, the winter moisture leaves the hillsides and mountains flourishing in a carpet of green. Continue reading
What’s your go-to brunch dish?
