A meal of food you really enjoy

 

I love chileans foods that have corn, like porotos granados con mazamorra, humitas and pastel de choclo. In all these foods, the corn is ground, they differ in the seasonings added to them for example, in humitas the main seasoning is basil, while in beans it is aji de color. I love the texture and taste of corn prepared this way it reminds me of my childhood and my grandmother.


My grandparents live in Pelarco, in the countryside, and they always planted corn, so we harversted it and ground it in a grinder and then we cooked the corn, saving the leaves for humitas. Cooking these meals is very fun for me, grinding the corn, stirring the pot and wrapping the humitas are steps that take time, but they have delicious results.


Every year I look forward to the summer to go to Pelarco and spend time with my grandparents, prepare all these delicious meals and enjoy them fresh with my family.

When I finished school , I took a year off to decide what to do and take care of other things in my life. Little by Little I opened up to the possibility of studying theather, so I went to a workshop to prepare for special tests. There I discovered that I was really passionate about acti...
