Hello there,
I love this site. I'm living in peru with my peruvian boyfriend and am trying to learn to cook as he loves his peruvian food. Is there a spot on this site that gives the spanish names for some of the ingredients suh as "all spice", "mustard seeds". Also, what is Red Tomato Chutney served as... a side dish?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Molly

Molly, I do not yet have a "glossary" as such on this site. I had started to create something like that but have never completed nor posted it. Allspice - pimienta dulce. Mustard seeds - Semillas de Mostaza, available at Madre Natura in Miraflores. You can serve the chutney as an appetizer with crackers, as a spread with a sandwich or as a side salsa for chicken & rice. Feel free to email me directly with any future questions questions.
