Many of us are now working, schooling, shopping and entertaining each other at home and from home. For those of us in big cities, we may also be cooking a lot more often than we had before. I used to do bulk cooking on Sundays so we'd have easy heat-up dinners during t...

I crave food with a lot of flavor. One dish that delivers is Carapulcra, a Peruvian potato, peanut and pepper stew. If you do an internet search you'll find a dish that has changed over time, impacted by the colonization of Peru and the introduction of new ingredients...
