About Chewing Happiness
Chewing Happiness is a food blog that shares Peruvian & Creative recipes, here I show people how to cook Peruvian dishes as well as encourage them to cook more at home
Hello, I am Brandon Castillo, I am the voice and creator running Chewing Happiness, Chewing Happiness started as a way to encourage others to cook more at home.
Peruvian & Creative Recipes
Why Peruvian Recipes?
Peru is one of the best Gastronomic destinations in South America, it has a wide variety of dishes, ancient, modern, fusion and even exotic plates that will blow up your mind.
If I am not in Peru will I be able to cook Peruvian dishes?
Short answer, Yes! Yes! Yes!
Peruvian food has become popular over the last decade, there are thousands of Peruvian restaurants and Peruvians overseas, corporations noticed that there is a huge demand in Peruvian ingredients and now they have their own line of processed Peruvian ingredients, the best part is that you can get them online! pages like “Amazon” or other Online retailers can help to get Peruvian ingredients ( Get Peruvian ingredients here)
Reliable Recipes
Every recipe that I share with you is tested multiple times so you get the best results, and since I am cooking on the USA I know how hard it can be to get the proper ingredients that is why I often add substitutes on my recipes.
A bit about Brandon
Graduated from Culinary arts in Peru, I’ve worked in different restaurants in South and North America. Working in big restaurants allowed me to learn new cooking techniques as well as to cook with a wide variety of “new ingredients”, I also worked in “small not so small” restaurants, there I learned all about management, some front of the house management, and how hard things can get when you are a restaurant owner.
If you have not read my recipes yet, you might not know that I am from Lima (capital of Peru) and that I love to eat and share with others, I started Chewing Happiness for many reasons, one them is that I was homesick, being away from your country can be really hard and Chewing Happiness helped me to feel “like I was in Peru”.
I learned that I could transmit a bit of the Peruvian culture by cooking and sharing with others.
Peru has rich gastronomy, full of culture and flavor, my goal is to share the Peruvian cuisine with as many people as possible.
