I’m back in my kitchen after an amazing trip to Cuzco and Machu Picchu, in Peru! Since I moved to Topanga Canyon, and have a 9 foot tall rock in my kitchen, rocks have been really prevalent in my life. The Inca’s have a deep reverence for stones, recognizing their life and the power that lies within each one. This, along with a sun-worshipping culture and amazing wild foods, made for a fantabulous trip to my final continent. My dream of visiting every continent before my 30th birthday is realized!

The above photo was taken at Machu Picchu, a blessing to see the light of the sun as a double rainbow. The next few posts will highlight some wild Andean treats, and then I’ll get rollin’ with some rock solid recipes for you again.
