Making the menu for Pachamama is no easy feat for a single person — something I actually love about the restaurant industry. You need a team and having the right one is like having a family.

I only recently found my family, and they got to show me how eager they were to make my recipes. For a Peruvian-Japanese fusion menu, a lot of the dishes involve bright colors and messy sauces, but the kitchen always presents final dishes that look more beautiful than messy.

Even better, Camila Badaro’s photos of the final Pachamama Menu somehow look just as amazing in her photos as they do in real life!
