Italian Techniques on Peruvian Dishes, BBQ Guinea Pig, and a Grandfather's Love Through Cooking with Executive Chef Miguel Aliage from Los Balcones Hollywood
Our Guest Miguel Aliaga, the Executive Chef at Los Balcones in Hollywood, fell in love with food at a young age. Growing up in a small town in Peru, his grandfather cooked for the entire family as a way of showing his love and gratitude. After graduating high school and his continued passion for food, he attended culinary school in Barcelona. His teacher offered him a position in his trattoria in Florence, and thus began his career in the restaurant industry. After working many hard years at that trattoria, he took other jobs to further his career and finally ended up with Los Balcones Hollywood. His Italian training brings a whole new perspective to Peruvian food, by using special techniques and ingredients.
In this episode, Miguel explains how his training in Italian cooking has developed and elevated his passion for cooking.
