Last week we celebrated Peruvian culture with two amazing Latina entrepreneurs who have worked tirelessly and diligently to promote their native culture and share it with the world through food, fashion, and travel. Ericka La Madrid, a recipe developer, travel consultant and founder of her platform, at deletable_peru _food_tours, shared her experience as a Peruvian cuisine food tour organizer and all the wonderful ways she shares her culture and traditions with her guests. Especially now that people are booking more traveling after the lockdown.
Magali Vitale, who has visited us before, showed us her beautiful fall pieces and got us caught up with her company, now a year old. As you might remember, Kuyay, the Quechua word for “love,” is an
ethically, sourced, sustainable fashion company, that supports Peruvian artisans. Every single piece is hand-designed and hand crafted. And now that the holidays are coming, they would each make a unique gift for all the women in our lives.
I invite you to watch our IGTV.
Both our guests are moms who have raised bilingual, and multicultural children and are very proud of the love and the connection they have instilled in their children about their Peruvian roots.
“My daughters loved everything about Peru. In fact, my first daughter chose to get married there a couple of years ago and shared that special day in Lima with her family and friends,” Magali shared.
“My young adult kids also enjoy Peruvian food. They enjoy cooking like I do and know how to make a good some of our typical dshes like ceviche and lomo saltado and many others they learned in Peru. Of course, they love Pisco Sour, the national drink, which, they still drink without alcohol!”
Ericka’s Pisco Sour recipe
Ingredients
