We just have a brief stopover here in Eugene. Cafe Yumm is fantastic. The River Play Discovery Playground was really fun. Great suggestions!

Hola Nadia,

Lucky you that you get to go to Peru every year. Since my husband is from Puerto Rico and his entire family is there, we pretty much have to alternate where we go every year. In my household, the picky eater is the young one. My 2-year-old won’t really try too many new things, although he does love Puerto Rican food more than Peruvian. My daughter, on the other hand, will try pretty much anything except beans!

Xochitl,
I linked to the recipe in the post, but you can find it here: http://spanglishbaby.com/food/ceviche-a-classic-peruvian-dish/

It’s super simple and it’s only 5 ingredients, but they all have to be FRESH! Have you ever had Peruvian ceviche?

Thanks, Casey! Luckily, I have tons of Peruvian cookbooks. The main issue for me is that I have a pretty high standard to live up to as, like I said in my post, my dad was a tremendous cook. And it’s not just me the one judging, my husband got to enjoy his food for many years before he passed away…

As far as kids music that might be comparable to Dora try Doki from discovery kids. We discovered Doki while visiting family in Bogota over Christmas and got a cute little Doki cd at tango records (I don’t know if they ship or not). It’s cute, fun and very environmentally oriented.

Also, Roxana, I totally understand my husband had a similar upbringing, where the nana was the only person in his household who knew how to cook. He recently found an old copy of Cartagena en la Olla on Ebay and has been trying to help me find comparable ingredients to introduce more Colombian/Caribbean dishes. Is there a similar kind of well known collection of Peruvian recipes that you can go off of?

I want your Ceviche recipe! My son and I make tacos, tortas, flautas, sopes and salsa, I am a terrible cook and these are easy foods to make with kids! Although it takes twice longer to cook anything with him we enjoy eating the mess!

music! i like playing all different types of music in Spanish for my son– especially cumbias, even though I am not Colombian, my mom listened to them while i was growing up and i was on a major cumbia kick when i was pregnant, so he heard it even when he was in the womb! It is actually really hard to keep playing music in Spanish for him because I know how much he now loves The Fresh Beat Band and Dora, so i try to compromise and play Dora La Exploradora in Spanish.
