I must confess I was not 100% convinced if it was the right time to travel, but after a good discussion with my husband, we decided that April was the right month, plus we were very lucky with the weather. As always, whenever we travel to Chile we arrange our itinerary well, as the time there always goes so quickly and it&#8217;s inevitable to end up owing many friends a visit. But going around with two young children changes the whole picture, and they are certainly our priority.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing is that we have our families distributed in different cities, hence it&#8217;s necessary to also do domestic travel within Chile. But at this point I try to enjoy the trip as much as I can, and certainly having a different view especially on our Chilean gastronomy, I try to delight myself and discover everything that is happening in the country, gastronomically speaking. But I ran out of time, and there were some places pending for a visit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Photo-May-18-11-26-12-PM.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6675\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6675\" src=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Photo-May-18-11-26-12-PM.jpg\" alt=\"Photo May 18, 11 26 12 PM\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Photo-May-18-11-26-12-PM.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Photo-May-18-11-26-12-PM-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Photo-May-18-11-26-12-PM-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Photo-May-18-11-26-12-PM-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I continue this post now showing the evidence that I got together with Mrs. Juany Silva, from the commune of Pudahuel, in Santiago.

We enjoyed a very nice meal at tea-time, with many details and a good conversation. I thank you for your graciousness, sympathy, and kindness for welcoming and inviting me for dinner.

Here we stopped to eat in a restaurant that features the famous German &#8220;onces&#8221; (i.e. tea-time meal).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Dia-de-cocina-chilena.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6619\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6619\" src=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Dia-de-cocina-chilena.jpg\" alt=\"Dia-de-cocina-chilena\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Dia-de-cocina-chilena.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Dia-de-cocina-chilena-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Dia-de-cocina-chilena-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Dia-de-cocina-chilena-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This photo above represents what was my celebration for the &#8220;Day of Chilean cuisine&#8221;. Such date caught me while I was in the city of Puerto Montt, so I couldn&#8217;t go to &#8220;\u00d1am&#8221; gastronomic event in\u00a0Santiago (one of the most important culinary events of the year). But I must tell you that my April 15th was very productive, since in the morning I went to a tasting of a delicious ceviche with cochayuyo (a Chilean seaweed), offered by the University of Santo Tom\u00e1s, and I was able to talk to a couple of teachers and exchange some ideas. And then, in the evening, I went to a workshop offered by the Inacap learning institute, mostly to their third-year gastronomy students (but still open to the general public). It was interesting to learn about their vision and proposal about how we can make our pastry products to popularize at a commercial level.\u00a0By leveraging\u00a0the broad gamut of pastry products that Chile has, and if an initiative is taken to work in a different way, the same products could perhaps reach wider markets. I hope that the new generations in gastronomy take seriously the task of\u00a0empowering the\u00a0Chilean cuisine, but to a higher level (this I may elaborate more on another post that I&#8217;m willing to do as soon as I can).<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Banqueteria.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6615\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6615\" src=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Banqueteria.jpg\" alt=\"Banqueteria\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Banqueteria.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Banqueteria-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Banqueteria-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Banqueteria-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The gentlemen you see above are Cristian and Fabi\u00e1n, they are caterers, are not very famous yet, but they should be, because they offer an impeccable service, and I can assure you that I am very strict with these kind of things, I love efficiency.

And right across the street is the &#8220;Parque Arauco&#8221; mall, which is quite big and more appealing every time I go there, and it has many stores tailored for the &#8220;Chilean socialite&#8221;, so that they don&#8217;t miss much about traveling. As my aim was always to be on the lookout of stores or restaurants that may grab my attention is that we visited the &#8220;Emporio La Rosa&#8221; restaurant on that mall,\u00a0and it was great to see how they have been able to open many locations. I particularly liked their ice creams, but\u00a0the sandwich I had was not exactly what we ordered, unfortunately they made a mistake, but the waitress who took care of us was so kind and attentive that none of that mattered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Feria-del-libro.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6631\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6631\" src=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Feria-del-libro.jpg\" alt=\"Feria-del-libro\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Feria-del-libro.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Feria-del-libro-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Feria-del-libro-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Feria-del-libro-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We were able to visit the &#8220;Book Fair 2015&#8221; event that was being held in the city of Puerto Montt.

He makes an incredible ceviche, but he of course adds his own spin on it, and that helps making it phenomenal. And that&#8217;s what I like so much about him, that he improvises a lot in the kitchen, and he always tries to add his own touch to the traditional flavors.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Streusel-de-manzana.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6643\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6643\" src=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Streusel-de-manzana.jpg\" alt=\"Streusel-de-manzana\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Streusel-de-manzana.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Streusel-de-manzana-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Streusel-de-manzana-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Streusel-de-manzana-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One of the things that I enjoy the most from the south of Chile, is when I get to be with my in-laws, as both of them cook, but especially my father-in-law who has good cooking skills, and I have learned a lot from him. What you see in the picture above was the moment that I helped my mother-in-law to stretch the dough to make an apple strudel, and this time my mother-in-law decided to add her own spin on the recipe and she added <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ugni_molinae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">murtas<\/a> to it (a popular type of berries that grow in the south of Chile).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Liguria.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6639\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6639\" src=\"http:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Liguria.jpg\" alt=\"Liguria\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Liguria.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Liguria-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Liguria-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midiariodecocina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Liguria-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I finally was able to go to the Liguria restaurant this time, and\u00a0I went with my best friend, lucky me. We ordered a basil pisco sour, and it\u00a0was amazing, I recommend it. She ordered &#8220;Callos a la Madrile\u00f1a&#8221; (Madrid-style Tripe), and I ordered an awesome\u00a0salad with smoked salmon. For me, the prices are good, considering that the portions are large and the quality of its menu is quite good.

There are also many murals on the streets that are very well made and with different messages, for\u00a0whoever wants to see them. There were many tourists around, as usual.
