This week, we’re heading to the vibrant heart of South America with a menu inspired by the bold, colorful flavors of Peru. Known for its fresh seafood, unique peppers, and world famous quinoa, Peruvian cuisine strikes a beautiful balance between comforting and adventurous. From the zesty brightness of ceviche to the smoky richness of pollo a la brasa, these dishes bring both high protein power and a delicious variety to the table.
My current read is Danielle L. Jensen’s A Curse Carved in Bone, a dark fantasy woven with curses, forbidden bargains, and just enough romance to keep the pages turning late into the night. As I built this week’s menu, I couldn’t help but draw little connections to the book’s atmosphere. Rustic meals that feel as grounding and hearty as the forest setting, yet still layered with spice and intrigue, much like the story itself.
