COCOVICHE

Ok This is it. I am from Peru and this is the f***in´ basic question that I have always received. Pisco is from Chile doesn't it? And ceviche? You must know how to prepare one of those ceviches!!

 So, first of all, I don't give a f*** where does Pisco´s name come from anyway. I love it and I got wasted so many times that I just remember those awesome moments drinking this hot drink. Its call PISCO and is the motherf***in´peruvian vodka, so you could understand the idea. Pisco from Chile...well... it´s more like a rum. So it´s not the same all right?

And Ceviche. Ok. I already ate hundreds of Ceviches. F***in´hundreds actually, but I have prepared this delicious and strong dish just a copule of times. Why? Because I know this flavor like my roots, but like a Creative Chef I am always looking  for novelty. Something new for me and my pleasures.

 I remember that I cooked my first Ceviche in a Social Media Program, Tastemade. I was very happy and excited cause they needed a Peruvian Chef that could prepare Ceviche. The funny thing was that I never prepared one of these before. So that was a new gastronomic experience for me. All this came with one tiny detail that I don't want to miss: This ShowCooking must be in live. So, just imagine someone who has not prepared this dish before and must explain how to make it! I loved the challenge...


I know what is a Ceviche. I know their flavors and ingredients. So, f*** it. I spent the hole weekend watching and studying many Gastón Acurio Youtube Videos, so I could understand the technique. After all, like a peruvian this is in my blood. That was supposed to be thru my veins!

Well, that first impression taught me a lesson. The peruvian proud is the peruvian food. And the Ceviche is like the peruvian hanging balls, ok? It´s all about proud. And when someone hits the proud, well probably starts a battle or these stupid balls fall down. And that was exactly what happened in Social Media. An identity bully battle started between different latin countries when each of them believed that the best Ceviche ever was form their own cities. Add to that a couple of mistakes that I done during the preparation. A f***in´ civil digital war began to rise. Two thousands people just fighting thru Social Media. However, this is my Ceviche Version. It´s call CocoViche. And I don't give a f*** if someone like it or not.
