On this popular food blog, the recipes are always comforting and cozy – and often inspired by Adrianna Adarme’s cultural background. The California-based blogger posts recipes for traditional classics from both her Latin and American heritages, as well as mashups that draw from both traditions. The result is a recipe for cozy beef stew one day and Peruvian-style Pollo a la Brasa the next.
