1
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,180
Do you want it to be made with roots?

2
00:01:17,339 --> 00:01:18,740
Thank you!

3
00:02:19,690 --> 00:02:24,930
Virgilio has always been very restless,
He has always been very curious. The

4
00:02:24,930 --> 00:02:28,130
nightmare of a mother, I couldn't be
calm down, I couldn't be in the same

5
00:02:28,130 --> 00:02:32,950
place, if he wasn't a skater, on a board, and very
passionate too, because

6
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:38,030
He committed to things fully. You
liked something and really took it into account

7
00:02:38,030 --> 00:02:39,030
serious.

8
00:02:39,390 --> 00:02:43,310
And then, of course, within their
curiosities and the explorer that was

9
00:02:43,310 --> 00:02:44,910
Since I was little, I believe that...

10
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:48,480
I always had in mind that what
I wanted, I wanted to do it well.

11
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,920
We are 13, 14 years old, 1990.

12
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:59,000
And it seemed that the city was ours,
right? We were loose in the street with

13
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,440
all the things that were happening in
the city.

14
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,900
Car bombs, blackouts, the military.

15
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Military, people disappearing.

16
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,500
We are talking about a Peru when
there were imports, when still

17
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,560
there was terrorism, that is, let's say, there was
a bit there, right?

18
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,200
And we couldn't go out much.

19
00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:24,700
The street was still not so... I mean, no
We were so safe, weren't we? Clear.

20
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,680
But nevertheless, we stopped there.
We were on the street the same. Of some

21
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,560
way we turned to each other for food, for
go out, to escape from something.

22
00:03:35,310 --> 00:03:38,690
And competing, obviously, because each
one wanted to be better than the other, which is

23
00:03:38,690 --> 00:03:41,590
important too. For a level of
competition. Especially you.

24
00:03:42,490 --> 00:03:43,490
Yes.

25
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:48,570
And that made me competitive with mango, right?
That is, let's say that for me the

26
00:03:48,570 --> 00:03:50,670
competition was so serious.

27
00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:55,570
And that for me was the most beautiful thing of the
corner. Show that, it's 30 years

28
00:03:55,570 --> 00:04:01,030
after. I keep talking to here, with
Virgilio, who is my three-year-old brother

29
00:04:01,030 --> 00:04:03,370
decades. I know him and our connection
is...

30
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,440
It is immediate, but we have lived so
united for so many years that we saw each other

31
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,020
every day. Yes, yes.

32
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,779
This real skate activity is
something that doesn't just focus you on something.

33
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:23,700
It motivates you to get out of the square and
take risks and do things out of the ordinary

34
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:27,360
common. And that's the good thing about skateboarding, that
motivates you to be different.

35
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:53,520
It was a surprise to the family that he
decided to leave a very career

36
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,380
conventional to, say, dedicate oneself to
an occupation that at that time

37
00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:04,200
It was not considered a profession
such.

38
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,180
I think the surprise was the choice of
cooking as the occupation to which he

39
00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:11,220
I would like to dedicate myself.

40
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:14,980
I think that was what was surprising to me.
Dad, especially.

41
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:20,540
My dad, the lawyer, also, surely
He had it in his head that his legacy was going to

42
00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:24,940
remain in the hands of his two children. When
Virgilio is dedicated to cooking,

43
00:05:24,940 --> 00:05:29,820
At first I was a bit too searching
travel, looking to leave the country, because

44
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:34,160
At that time the country was not
generating many opportunities for

45
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,460
young people who wanted to do
different things.

46
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:40,120
So, studying cooking here in that
moment was not an option.

47
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,960
And Virgilio knew it, he knew he had to
go out.

48
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:45,880
So he went out, he went out as much as he could.

49
00:05:46,340 --> 00:05:48,580
He dated for ten or more years.

50
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:55,540
And he went into as many kitchens as he could and took
all the opportunities that are available

51
00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:57,240
presented and those that did not generate them.

52
00:05:58,280 --> 00:05:59,720
Because he wanted to take on the world.

53
00:05:59,980 --> 00:06:03,800
I think that being a cook in Lima was not a
option for me. It wasn't an option. I

54
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,400
It was something that I chose as another topic of
rebellion, going out to find out what was happening

55
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,510
outside. And being a cook was the option
travel. Because? Why peel potatoes?

56
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:17,670
cleaning a kitchen was something that everyone
world will want in the world and it was

57
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:23,150
easy to find a job without speaking
language and blow up the world working in

58
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:24,150
kitchens.

59
00:06:33,710 --> 00:06:37,590
I have always thought that somehow
way organically I realized or

60
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:39,090
I started to realize that I wanted
return to Lima.

61
00:06:39,290 --> 00:06:44,310
But I think there was like a
kind of click that made me realize that

62
00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:48,590
at one point, and this happened I think in,
I can say until in a month, and no

63
00:06:48,590 --> 00:06:53,210
I can say when, but it was when I realized
I realized that, what was I doing cooking?

64
00:06:53,210 --> 00:06:56,410
out Peruvian products when not even
Did you even know where it came from?

65
00:06:57,130 --> 00:07:00,330
And that's when I started to say, why
Isn't it that I go to the origin?

66
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:17,800
Virgilio, I cannot separate him from
artist's cook I believe that he

67
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,620
It has everything intrinsic and in the end a
one thing cannot go without the other when

68
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:23,620
we talk about him.

69
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,200
There are chefs that I would define as
cooks and others as artists, but he

70
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,200
It has everything together.

71
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:34,260
What I could say is that he is a
very intuitive cook.

72
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:39,440
Many things he does do not...

73
00:07:39,790 --> 00:07:43,410
They haven't seen each other before, I never have
seen, and does things that I would say, look,

74
00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:47,290
This is how strange it is, but it ends
turning out very well, it is the intuition that

75
00:07:47,290 --> 00:07:52,070
He has it, and it's something that comes from him, right?
I'm going to show this to Malena, see what

76
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:53,070
wave.

77
00:07:53,410 --> 00:07:57,970
It's great, because look, it's
crispy, and it has the cream on the side, and

78
00:07:57,970 --> 00:07:59,530
you still feel the plant.

79
00:08:01,810 --> 00:08:02,810
Super.

80
00:08:03,490 --> 00:08:04,490
Very good.

81
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,720
I studied in Lima, I was here in Lima,
I worked for some restaurants in Lima

82
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,000
and one day a friend tells me, hey, it's
a friend of mine who has lived longer is coming

83
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,600
10 years away and has decided to return
to Peru and is going to open his restaurant,

84
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:30,640
Why don't you show up and see if
do you get a position?

85
00:08:31,340 --> 00:08:35,020
Then I cheered up and I remember that I went out
from the job where I was at that moment,

86
00:08:35,179 --> 00:08:37,740
I ran away, I remember, I asked for permission and...

87
00:08:38,220 --> 00:08:43,059
and in 15 minutes I arrived in Miraflores,
where we were before, and Central was

88
00:08:43,059 --> 00:08:48,320
under construction, there was nothing, it was pure
work, there was nothing, I knocked on the door and

89
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Virgilio Martínez receives me, I
obviously very nervous, because

90
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,280
I heard a lot that he was coming to do a
different cuisine, something that normally

91
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:03,200
we Peruvians were not here
accustomed to seeing, he interviewed me, he was

92
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,080
something very fast, very serious.

93
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,300
I went home, I had no answer and
I decided to insist.

94
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,320
Pía becomes the person, the support of
Virgil.

95
00:09:16,580 --> 00:09:22,860
Many times Virgil, being so in the
future, maybe a little is lost in

96
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:23,519
the present.

97
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:29,180
And Pía is the person who stops it and who
keeps it in today.

98
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,580
She is also the person in charge of
keep the team united and focused.

99
00:09:36,620 --> 00:09:40,300
I interviewed her three times because the three
times she was fucking with me because

100
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:45,860
I interviewed and the phone had me crazy
There were times when I turned the phone over

101
00:09:45,860 --> 00:09:49,780
because obviously I was in the kitchen and
Besides, at that time there were many people

102
00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:54,020
that I wanted to work at Central because
Of course we were a restaurant that was a bit

103
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:58,820
It refreshed the scene outside a little.
I feel that Central when it opened was

104
00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:03,380
a restaurant that for me was very
old and static and everything at that time

105
00:10:03,380 --> 00:10:08,080
It was an innovative restaurant. I mean, it was
a restaurant that attracted people and attracted

106
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:14,680
people like catch. An ambitious girl,
wanting to grow in cooking and with

107
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:15,680
I want to leave everything.

108
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:22,240
Because that's what it seemed in his eyes. With the
eyes she has, imagine her 14, 15 ago

109
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,760
years, asking for this job.

110
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:32,080
Yes, it was interesting to see it, but I still
It was difficult to understand her, to understand that she

111
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,500
could have an important position in the
kitchen.

112
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,600
That's how the story went, I insisted a lot
for several months.

113
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:44,400
Hello Virgilio, I really want to
be in your kitchen, I don't know what.

114
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:50,100
But I felt it for him a little
doubtful, right? Because what happened

115
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:54,020
through your mind at that time? What of
suddenly I didn't transmit much to him

116
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:59,300
trust. But well, I was, I think, very
constant and I went, here in Lima we say,

117
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:00,300
I was a finger.

118
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,220
Until he told me, ok.

119
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,020
You have the position, you are going to start as
cold assistant

120
00:11:07,420 --> 00:11:08,520
And that was the story.

121
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:09,760
That's how I started.

122
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,080
I started as a cold assistant in
Central.

123
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,880
I was there, I remember, two, three weeks and
From there I became head of cold storage.

124
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,780
It was a beginning between fires and pans,
right? Because between Virgil who directed

125
00:11:23,780 --> 00:11:27,360
the kitchen at that moment and Pía who said
all ear, ear.

126
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:34,000
I couldn't believe it. They didn't seem like they were going
to get along because they had

127
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,260
different ways of behavior.

128
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:44,080
At the beginning the relationship was head-cook.
He came into the kitchen and I trembled.

129
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,840
I'm really telling you.

130
00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:50,500
I had a lot of respect for Virgilio.
But yes, at the beginning it was like that.

131
00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:55,920
Months passed and yes I felt that
there was a certain complicity, because you know

132
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,520
that in the kitchen there are always these
jokes and I saw that he was laughing and I

133
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,540
I laughed, but each one in his position.

134
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,620
Me and Pia have always shared the
same sense of humor, like we've

135
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:15,000
seen life somehow similar and
we laughed at certain things, there were

136
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,740
these looks.

137
00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:23,120
But never with these looks that
someday we will be a couple or not even

138
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,799
to go out.

139
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,380
I guess it wasn't in my head anymore.
When I opened the restaurant I was not with

140
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:29,400
nobody. The restaurant was everything to me.

141
00:12:30,260 --> 00:12:34,140
When we had a closure
temporary in Central for three months and

142
00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:38,300
then when we reopen, Pia calls me
and he says, hey Alan, are you available?

143
00:12:38,380 --> 00:12:41,320
Because we open here in two days.

144
00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:42,860
And I tell him, but why are you calling me
you?

145
00:12:44,060 --> 00:12:45,060
Why are you calling me?

146
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:53,620
I'm left with nothing and suddenly
one day I call Pia to help me

147
00:12:53,620 --> 00:12:58,460
do a consultancy and also with something
That's why he told me that this girl I believe

148
00:12:58,460 --> 00:12:59,219
that I like

149
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:02,340
And during the summer, because I remember
which was in the summer, I was with him.

150
00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:05,900
I think it allowed us
get much closer, that he

151
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:06,980
he knew and I knew him.

152
00:13:07,580 --> 00:13:13,440
And that's when we started dating.
and this whole story began that I never knew

153
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,090
I imagined. And well, that's where I
whole, right? that Pía was already

154
00:13:17,090 --> 00:13:21,190
hanging out with Virgilio and then you saw this
change, right? Yeah, well, Pía was already

155
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:23,690
part of the kitchen, was no longer in the
cold zone, I was in the cold zone

156
00:13:23,690 --> 00:13:27,510
line, he was already leading the team, as you
I mean, at the time she led her

157
00:13:27,510 --> 00:13:31,830
cold team and then lead an entire
cook, let's say, for 70%, 80% of

158
00:13:31,830 --> 00:13:33,630
men, it was very difficult.

159
00:13:34,430 --> 00:13:37,590
I remember when Pía arrived and I told her
to the people in the kitchen, I told them

160
00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:42,450
cooks, I told him, hey, a girl is coming
pretty and nice, be careful,

161
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:43,690
this one, no,

162
00:13:44,830 --> 00:13:51,490
Calm down guys, because I saw you
a little euphoric. And look,

163
00:13:51,510 --> 00:13:54,290
I ended up being the character.

164
00:14:11,690 --> 00:14:14,730
Guys, how are we? There are some cameras
out there, but I want you to see this.

165
00:14:16,290 --> 00:14:19,850
We are working with five types of
corn.

166
00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:26,270
And we have the white corn from Cusco, the
giant corn, big corn, all the

167
00:14:26,270 --> 00:14:27,270
purple corn.

168
00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:31,110
When Compi started working on the topic
what is Central, what is Central,

169
00:14:31,150 --> 00:14:34,170
the questions begin, is that
Central is a restaurant that started

170
00:14:34,170 --> 00:14:37,770
being different, to begin with, in a
file that was very static, very

171
00:14:37,770 --> 00:14:40,770
conservative, and well, Central was
innovative.

172
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,080
but we had to be a little more.

173
00:14:52,180 --> 00:14:58,140
Of course, at first Virgilio cook
trained out in nowhere places

174
00:14:58,140 --> 00:15:03,460
Europeans, Americans, when you get here,
You come in thinking, well, I'm going to do that.

175
00:15:03,460 --> 00:15:05,900
that I have learned. And then...

176
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:10,880
In time, and I'm talking to you in
matter of a year or two years, it happens

177
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,020
I realized I wasn't doing anything
exactly groundbreaking or different.

178
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,440
This change that Virgilio makes in 2011
about the taste menus

179
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,660
when Virgil makes this journey of
exploration.

180
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,280
This trip was made through Peru, to
through the coast, the jungle, the sea

181
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,600
and the Andes, through products
natives that at that time no chef

182
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,660
dared to use.

183
00:15:35,260 --> 00:15:39,160
So it was something new for us.
tasting menu and with products that

184
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,860
we didn't know each other as Peruvians.
This product here, why not

185
00:15:42,860 --> 00:15:44,680
Do I find the producer?

186
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,220
Why don't I know the person who
are you behind this product?

187
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,200
For me that was important because I had
I have to leave, return to Peru and not only

188
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,960
return to Peru-Lima, but return to
Peru-Lima, Cusco, Amazon, Andes,

189
00:15:58,980 --> 00:16:00,940
Altiplano and everything I'm doing
nowadays.

190
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,540
The point was, of course, I didn't know how
take it forward.

191
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,040
It was just an idea, a feeling.

192
00:16:07,420 --> 00:16:11,680
So, when he talks to me about it,
talk like, how about we open a

193
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,220
center that investigates that which does not
do we know?

194
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:15,940
Or what we know very little about.

195
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,740
So that's how it ends
realize this idea in Mater.

196
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,040
I have two things to teach you.

197
00:16:23,260 --> 00:16:24,620
First, the new calipers.

198
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,820
And then, the photography.

199
00:16:29,970 --> 00:16:31,790
Oh, how cute, it's beautiful.

200
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:37,110
Malena appears in 2010, being part of the
team.

201
00:16:37,950 --> 00:16:40,250
She is Virgilio's sister, she had
another race.

202
00:16:40,610 --> 00:16:43,650
Then he joined the theme of Mater
Initiative.

203
00:16:43,850 --> 00:16:48,230
And that moment is where Malena is
part of the team. And also does this

204
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:52,410
change with us, which was a support
as much as for Virgilio and for Pia.

205
00:16:52,510 --> 00:16:54,530
She also has a lot to do with it.
Central change.

206
00:16:54,950 --> 00:16:57,710
Central was already open and Malena enters
a few years later.

207
00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:59,190
Malena did not live in Peru.

208
00:16:59,989 --> 00:17:05,670
So, you know, Virgil, all the
day he thinks and is crazy. And you, Malena,

209
00:17:05,790 --> 00:17:06,890
why don't you stay with us?

210
00:17:07,530 --> 00:17:09,650
We always tell him, we make a
family triumvirate.

211
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:13,130
Sometimes they say, right? But how complicated
work with family, right?

212
00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:17,310
Yes, it could be complicated, but the
truth is that I think that we

213
00:17:17,310 --> 00:17:22,170
works very well. We have a lot
communication, a lot of trust to

214
00:17:22,170 --> 00:17:23,829
tell us things as they are.

215
00:17:24,030 --> 00:17:28,750
It was very important that we understand that
We had to get along no matter what.

216
00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:34,370
Because apart from Central Miraflores it was like that
when I was little and the three of us were involved

217
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:35,309
together always.

218
00:17:35,310 --> 00:17:38,570
Suddenly we had to understand that
This restaurant was no longer owned by a chef,

219
00:17:38,730 --> 00:17:40,090
but it was a three-person restaurant.

220
00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:45,230
And there I had to make Pia very
Malena's friend.

221
00:17:46,550 --> 00:17:52,830
Complicated, because of course, being a
restaurant where I was

222
00:17:52,830 --> 00:17:55,790
chef, Pia your chef.

223
00:17:56,510 --> 00:17:59,470
Malena entered with a position that was not
we knew what it was.

224
00:18:00,510 --> 00:18:02,450
Malena, Pia, Virgilio.

225
00:18:02,910 --> 00:18:07,090
We had to deal with what was
central.

226
00:18:25,410 --> 00:18:26,740
Franclet? Beto?

227
00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:30,860
How are you?

228
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,240
How are you?

229
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,260
Are you safe in the kitchen?

230
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:50,580
How are you? How's it going?

231
00:19:15,179 --> 00:19:20,560
every exploration trip was to enter
a different world a new world and

232
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,470
then learn from people with
those we connect were fundamental

233
00:19:25,470 --> 00:19:27,010
listen to them.

234
00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:41,130
Above all, offer the time to listen
the stories of the people themselves and to

235
00:19:41,130 --> 00:19:48,070
try to understand a little each world,
each space and understand it in its

236
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:49,150
full dimension.

237
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:57,090
What is your name, miss, one, the other?

238
00:19:58,110 --> 00:19:59,110
Achokcha.

239
00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:17,690
How long is the cocoa here?

240
00:20:18,670 --> 00:20:20,270
As? Here. Is there more cocoa?

241
00:20:20,530 --> 00:20:22,190
Yes, of course, the butter. The butter.

242
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,120
Which one did you like the most?

243
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:28,120
Three?

244
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,940
But there are four here.

245
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,100
Three what are they with my poop?

246
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,500
No, I mean, it's like a game. This one
she did it, I did this one and I did this one

247
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:38,399
he did.

248
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,960
You have to say which one you liked
further.

249
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,640
¿No?

250
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,840
That's it, that's it.

251
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:50,300
Very political.

252
00:20:51,180 --> 00:20:52,180
We all win.

253
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,480
Draw.

254
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Three-way.

255
00:20:55,230 --> 00:20:57,590
Well, save it and enjoy. Thank you.

256
00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:59,110
Thank you very much, Romulo.

257
00:20:59,330 --> 00:21:06,130
The maximum. The interesting thing about doing it with
a cook is that his

258
00:21:06,130 --> 00:21:10,410
vision of things is also a
vision of knowing each other through

259
00:21:10,410 --> 00:21:11,410
food.

260
00:21:11,530 --> 00:21:14,410
55 degrees, right? 50 degrees. It costs the
soda.

261
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:17,150
Are they improved?

262
00:21:19,670 --> 00:21:23,230
They have an alcoholic smell, don't they? Yeah,
Of course.

263
00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:30,690
Different chunchos are mixed here,
They are all badasses. Okay,

264
00:21:33,550 --> 00:21:38,650
you are going to put it here and here you leave it
also one day, right?

265
00:21:45,390 --> 00:21:48,850
Mater we created it to see, to see.

266
00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:53,930
All the complete context of what
there were around products,

267
00:21:53,930 --> 00:21:56,590
existence of inputs in Peru.

268
00:22:18,990 --> 00:22:24,390
This idea of exploring the territory
Peruvian was to register, to

269
00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:29,670
record all the ecosystems that
there were in every world, cultural, social,

270
00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:32,190
biological.

271
00:22:39,050 --> 00:22:43,570
Clearly at the beginning it has been like a
very experience...

272
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,740
as a youth, to go browsing, to go
seeing what there was.

273
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:18,060
But then we started to have a
a little more structure and we begin to

274
00:23:18,060 --> 00:23:24,620
better schedule the things we wanted
see and there was more intention behind each

275
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:25,700
exploration trip.

276
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,300
Turn it central in terms of
letter, proposal, was a risk

277
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:50,280
giant, especially in this environment
local, talk about ecosystems,

278
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:53,100
of heights, it was not a language that
people understood.

279
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,600
The people, still, aside, there were
trends and fashions that contradicted a

280
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,880
little that we spoke, because
At that time there was a little talk about

281
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,240
organic movement, the movement of
station, the movement of newborns

282
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,240
recognize the product.

283
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:12,020
And we were talking about
heights, it was different, we were

284
00:24:12,020 --> 00:24:14,880
talking about more cultural topics,
we were talking about more topics

285
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,760
multidisciplinary, where there were moments
in which he spoke most about the chef, the

286
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,640
cook We can catch a bundle, be it
whatever size it is, and whatever the flower it is,

287
00:24:25,780 --> 00:24:32,460
The incredible thing is that, of course, you take one
tiny scissors, you make a hole and you

288
00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:37,180
you find with all this cavity that
It is here, to fill it, then seal it.

289
00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:44,480
And you can put thousands of flavors in this
luck of

290
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,440
ravioli.

291
00:24:49,740 --> 00:24:52,180
So what happens?

292
00:24:53,260 --> 00:24:56,520
That's great, the problem is that they don't travel
good.

293
00:24:58,140 --> 00:25:00,180
But they are perfect.

294
00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:02,240
Look, they're perfect.

295
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,840
I mean, you put them in a row.

296
00:25:06,270 --> 00:25:10,210
Or however you want, or you put them in a row,
Let's say, about something beautiful, cute,

297
00:25:10,410 --> 00:25:16,790
rectangular, straight, straight, incredible.
Or you put them with a bundle.

298
00:25:18,130 --> 00:25:21,290
The concept has always been
collection.

299
00:25:21,650 --> 00:25:27,170
You give it flavor and then you return it to the
sense of place. So what happens?

300
00:25:27,390 --> 00:25:32,620
That within what the tableware is, the
ceramic, which is below, What

301
00:25:32,620 --> 00:25:37,320
What we do is then put a series of
tied up this size, like this

302
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:44,220
here, right? You put it somewhere, be it
here, right? And then you put the

303
00:25:44,220 --> 00:25:47,220
pieces that are already filled with
flavors on top.

304
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,940
So there's a little fun
also, that you are taking each

305
00:25:52,940 --> 00:25:54,640
piece, right?

306
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,040
Every ball, every sphere, every ball,
whatever, right?

307
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:00,620
And every one of them now.

308
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:08,760
And we can extract the flavor from the
stems, branches, flowers,

309
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,760
tintin

310
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,140
What happens is that the power of the menu
of heights and the world in unevenness and all

311
00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:21,700
This part of verticality generated us
this idea of drawing the card.

312
00:26:22,190 --> 00:26:26,070
And suddenly put a tasting menu.
And that was already a risk. I mean, there already

313
00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:27,910
we put ourselves at risk of losing
quite a bit.

314
00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:31,450
I'm not going to say lose everything, but yes
We started losing a lot of people. That is,

315
00:26:31,450 --> 00:26:35,070
people came to the restaurant,
I sat down and suddenly I didn't see the letter and

316
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:36,070
He stopped and left.

317
00:26:36,090 --> 00:26:39,350
And we started to deal with it. That is,
I was starting to deal with leaving the

318
00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:44,170
kitchen, came out of the kitchen to the table and
I was asking, sir, what happened? Or what has

319
00:26:44,170 --> 00:26:47,510
passed by there? And he told me, no, I haven't
come for an experience that is not

320
00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:50,170
I know and I don't know what these heights are,
this verticality.

321
00:26:51,639 --> 00:26:53,060
Then it happened that people left.

322
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,400
Certain people, mind you.

323
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,480
And certain people did start coming for
that. And that's where certain people from other people

324
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,920
parts, let's say, people who are not from Lima
and people of the world, is that it begins to

325
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,480
keep an eye on what is happening here.

326
00:27:05,780 --> 00:27:10,560
Because you start to find a vehicle
to understand Peru, with its heights.

327
00:27:10,820 --> 00:27:13,520
And you begin to really understand, Peru
what is it?

328
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,360
This geography where you suddenly
you see from above and it's like a piece of paper

329
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,980
wrinkled And that was the beginning of
our explanation is the paper

330
00:27:20,980 --> 00:27:25,920
wrinkled. What is crumpled paper?
This canvas where you see many

331
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:31,060
microclimates, ecological floors, where
they are generating ecosystems. And this here

332
00:27:31,060 --> 00:27:33,660
It was like the palette to work with.

333
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:47,570
But what happens if you suddenly start
Let's see, of course, a restaurant and

334
00:27:47,570 --> 00:27:48,570
Do you start to see it as something more?

335
00:27:52,530 --> 00:27:53,810
How far can you go?

336
00:27:55,330 --> 00:27:59,770
So that's when we start
find other work ecosystems,

337
00:28:00,110 --> 00:28:02,330
creative ecosystems.

338
00:28:03,530 --> 00:28:08,530
And I think that it is like Malena that I find
a window that opens, but that is

339
00:28:08,530 --> 00:28:13,290
immense, which opens up this topic of
out and more, and you find that...

340
00:28:13,630 --> 00:28:19,190
May you find identity, find a
little more of your vision, more than

341
00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:20,650
we wanted as a team.

342
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:24,850
And besides, something that happens to me is also
that I too am beginning to feel a

343
00:28:24,850 --> 00:28:30,890
group pressure, work team
from Central, that the boys, the girls

344
00:28:30,890 --> 00:28:33,870
they wanted more. I mean, people wanted to go
to another place.

345
00:28:34,430 --> 00:28:36,670
To another place we didn't know where.

346
00:28:38,690 --> 00:28:41,490
Get out of what is Central, the
restaurant, it's important.

347
00:28:42,350 --> 00:28:45,930
Because we saw ourselves in another scenario, in
another house, in which suddenly

348
00:28:45,930 --> 00:28:50,050
you meet Central, Colle, Mater,
May.

349
00:28:50,790 --> 00:28:55,030
We who talk about ecosystems,
we ended up forming our own

350
00:28:55,030 --> 00:28:59,550
ecosystem, which is the Home ecosystem
Tupac Barranco, where everyone, in some way

351
00:28:59,550 --> 00:29:01,750
way, we function as a whole.

352
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,500
When we moved to Barranco,
to Casa Tupac, we made the decision to

353
00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:29,980
moving ourselves as a family too.
So we lived above the kitchen

354
00:29:29,980 --> 00:29:34,500
central. And we have always depended on
the sounds of the refrigerator, the sounds

355
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:38,500
of the staff. The first character that
enters the headquarters at 5 or 6 in the

356
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:42,480
tomorrow he was going for the fish,
The doorbell always rang. And if he

357
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,060
restaurant ran out of water, we
We were left without water or electricity and

358
00:29:46,060 --> 00:29:47,060
we had light.

359
00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:52,490
I think it's part of building something.
important, and that's okay.

360
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,060
He always had a charm for Barranco,
I think I've always wanted to live here. and

361
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:14,160
when there was the opportunity in Miraflores
Before leaving, we looked at Barranco in front and

362
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,460
We started looking for local newspapers here.

363
00:31:17,660 --> 00:31:22,380
That was one thing. The other thing was being a father.

364
00:31:23,940 --> 00:31:27,460
I wanted Cristóbal, my son, to be
playing for Barranco, let him be here.

365
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:36,620
My son is friends with all the chefs
and he goes to the living room, he walks around here, he runs

366
00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:37,419
over here.

367
00:31:37,420 --> 00:31:43,100
Well, I think that's part of
spend it together, right? Besides, I don't have

368
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:44,100
another.

369
00:31:50,140 --> 00:31:51,380
It only appears in 2015.

370
00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:54,980
That is, at the most intense moment.

371
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,100
I worked until the eighth month of
pregnancy. I remember that I sang

372
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:00,100
you command with a chair.

373
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,860
I remember that the shoes didn't fit.

374
00:32:02,060 --> 00:32:04,900
And after a month, I give birth and after a month I already
I was in the kitchen.

375
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:11,180
We were both like that.

376
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,380
24-7, that whole restaurant.

377
00:32:14,740 --> 00:32:15,740
And it was our life.

378
00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:19,200
But of course, Cristóbal appears and
Cristobal is now our life.

379
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,780
So things are changing, right?

380
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,480
Between your greatest passion, which is
restaurant, and your other greatest passion, which

381
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,480
It's your son.

382
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,980
I think the kitchen was as intended.
for me. I finished school and I

383
00:32:40,980 --> 00:32:45,080
I knew I wanted to study cooking. When
I started at 18 years old, I didn't think, I'm going to

384
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:51,080
have my restaurant and dream. After
spend 8, 9 years in Central, yes the

385
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:57,220
idea and I say, I think I feel like I should
make a change personally and

386
00:32:57,220 --> 00:33:02,820
a place where I can express
really who am I and what do I like

387
00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:07,270
me. That's where the idea of moving comes from.
because Central in Miraflores is very

388
00:33:07,270 --> 00:33:08,270
space boy

389
00:33:08,890 --> 00:33:11,330
This place appears that was the House
Tupac.

390
00:33:11,650 --> 00:33:15,150
What better than in the same space as
Central, because there was also that

391
00:33:15,150 --> 00:33:17,590
situation of I don't want to separate from
Central.

392
00:33:17,930 --> 00:33:20,070
Central is in my heart, that's how it is.

393
00:33:20,690 --> 00:33:23,730
And Virgil also doubted, but no longer
You're going to be in Central.

394
00:33:24,090 --> 00:33:30,770
I think the best option was presented
be together but separate at the same time

395
00:33:30,770 --> 00:33:33,010
time. And that's where the idea of...

396
00:33:33,210 --> 00:33:34,210
to open Coye, right?

397
00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:37,690
Pía wanted Coye.

398
00:33:38,410 --> 00:33:42,090
Pía had it there. Pía wants a place
to express your food, what you think.

399
00:33:42,630 --> 00:33:48,150
And Pía also seeks growth
progressive. Let's say that Pía is still

400
00:33:48,150 --> 00:33:51,990
looking for a clear path for Coye.

401
00:33:52,310 --> 00:33:55,370
I love it because it has it now, but
that is fine-tuning it.

402
00:33:56,210 --> 00:34:01,090
But Pía, I do believe that it needs, and it is
something very about her is that she needs her

403
00:34:01,090 --> 00:34:02,090
place.

404
00:34:02,270 --> 00:34:05,650
her place where she can do whatever
she wants

405
00:34:06,330 --> 00:34:12,710
Today it is a place where there is a lot of color,
I am a person who feels that I

406
00:34:12,710 --> 00:34:19,449
I really like the express color, it's something
very dynamic, very relaxed as you see,

407
00:34:19,630 --> 00:34:24,750
but at the same time I try not only to
come and eat something delicious, but

408
00:34:24,750 --> 00:34:27,850
you take something, a message and it generates
a change in you.

409
00:34:33,389 --> 00:34:34,949
And sometimes people don't believe us, right?

410
00:34:35,590 --> 00:34:38,750
But how can they not fight?

411
00:34:39,110 --> 00:34:44,070
Sometimes it's not very credible, but the truth
yes, we already know each other I think, I already

412
00:34:44,070 --> 00:34:49,330
I think I know Virgilio very well and
He knows me, so let's see, yes

413
00:34:49,330 --> 00:34:53,590
one day well we do fight and what do I know
I think it's normal, but...

414
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,920
We already know each other very well and we know very
well also respect the space of each

415
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:57,618
one, right?

416
00:34:57,620 --> 00:35:03,540
Be careful, but we have never gone to sleep
fought. Ah, no, if we have that one... That one

417
00:35:03,540 --> 00:35:06,480
It's a code, that's something key. A
code that we have between the two of that

418
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,140
We never fight while asleep.

419
00:35:54,090 --> 00:35:58,390
The plate transmits, the ceramic, the
tableware transmits.

420
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:03,110
We have started to put things that you
normally you could see that they could

421
00:36:03,110 --> 00:36:08,570
be on a wall, are today on
the table, like large canvases that

422
00:36:08,570 --> 00:36:14,810
They have unevenness and as you can see,

423
00:36:14,830 --> 00:36:16,330
that sound

424
00:36:17,470 --> 00:36:24,430
and they look semi-rustic,
but at the same time beautiful,

425
00:36:24,430 --> 00:36:26,330
at the same time beautifully broken.

426
00:36:28,010 --> 00:36:31,330
This will always be seen throughout the
menu, you can see it.

427
00:36:31,930 --> 00:36:37,030
From step one, moment two, moment
three, four, five and so on.

428
00:36:38,590 --> 00:36:41,590
We can go up to 17 moments where you are going to
see.

429
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,380
a bit of an ecosystem that has something
in particular.

430
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,120
We find that the entire system or
ecosystem that we want to recreate part

431
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,160
first on the canvas, but this canvas
It's part of the ecosystem too.

432
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,600
Let's say that this ceramic is also
inspired by the ecosystem that we are going to

433
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:00,600
put on top.

434
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:07,460
There are pieces that we want you to keep
certain natural breaks.

435
00:37:08,170 --> 00:37:12,430
and obviously we don't want to work on it
too obvious we don't want this to be

436
00:37:12,430 --> 00:37:18,390
like like super in super in your face
It's not like you can feel it but

437
00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:25,230
at the same time it is also a beauty that
little by little it leads to other things

438
00:37:25,230 --> 00:37:29,730
on other roads in other fields
gastronomy but

439
00:37:29,730 --> 00:37:36,450
well I'm super happy great

440
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:38,320
Incredible, incredible, great.

441
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,260
There are

442
00:37:39,260 --> 00:37:49,000
moments

443
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,680
in which the recognitions, yes,
Many people call outside.

444
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,160
That was something we didn't expect. I mean,
for example, that a letter arrives, nor

445
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,300
even by email, let a letter arrive
by email telling me that I have entered

446
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:06,160
on a world list, that I am among
the 50 best in the world.

447
00:38:07,210 --> 00:38:10,610
in a restaurant that we just started,
For me it was very strong.

448
00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:16,310
Today for us it can be something
that we can take as something normal,

449
00:38:16,510 --> 00:38:20,490
let's say, have this communication with
Asia, with Europe, with other continents.

450
00:38:20,490 --> 00:38:21,049
Because?

451
00:38:21,050 --> 00:38:27,590
Because yes, we see people from many places
that invitations come or fall to us or

452
00:38:27,590 --> 00:38:29,990
proposals from many parts of the world.

453
00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:32,710
But that didn't happen before.

454
00:38:33,180 --> 00:38:39,940
and suddenly start getting into these
international markets, I believe that

455
00:38:39,940 --> 00:38:43,340
also backed by recognition
worlds, it was very important.

456
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:51,540
But something I don't forget is when
us, at three years old, or four or

457
00:38:51,540 --> 00:38:57,000
three years of operation, we got into
in a very important Peruvian list such as

458
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,140
number one. And all of Peru knew this.

459
00:38:59,740 --> 00:39:03,800
And this here was really important.
because we showed that a restaurant

460
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:10,180
with some innovation, a restaurant
young, young, somehow

461
00:39:10,180 --> 00:39:16,340
broke the restaurant establishment.
Because in fact there were restaurants

462
00:39:16,340 --> 00:39:21,940
Lima, from Peru, who were there for years, 20
years, 15 years, 10 years. and a restaurant

463
00:39:21,940 --> 00:39:25,960
In the third year he comes in and nails it there,
right? Number one.

464
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,740
That moment was important.

465
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,680
And then come the moments, talking about
recognitions, that the lists

466
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,080
world, that suddenly we get a
letter from London, that we must go to

467
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,860
London to pick up something there.

468
00:39:41,220 --> 00:39:42,520
This was a great moment.

469
00:39:42,900 --> 00:39:48,220
And this moment, evidently, already generates
expectation in the world and generates these

470
00:39:48,220 --> 00:39:49,620
I want to come to the headquarters and learn.

471
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,740
I feel that everything fit as it did
Perfect moment, right? As you say,

472
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,090
We open Colle, And I get this
recognition of Latin America.

473
00:40:01,130 --> 00:40:02,810
It fit perfect, great.

474
00:40:03,390 --> 00:40:07,470
Coye was a new restaurant that
I needed that drive and motivation.

475
00:40:08,750 --> 00:40:10,750
Then comes the other, who was from the world.

476
00:40:10,970 --> 00:40:12,830
So, it was intense.

477
00:40:13,050 --> 00:40:17,810
Coye has been open for three years.
So, it's been a very long three years.

478
00:40:17,810 --> 00:40:20,930
intense with a lot of mix of emotions.

479
00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:25,430
Pía's recognition had to fall
because Pia...

480
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:33,580
He has managed Central for many years and
Pía has been in charge of these kitchens

481
00:40:33,580 --> 00:40:34,580
long time.

482
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,720
Then Pía goes to Mil, goes to Coye,

483
00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:46,060
He travels to have important dinners out,
Be careful, very important.

484
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:49,280
And it always happened like...

485
00:40:50,870 --> 00:40:54,410
Like Virgil's wife, the wife
from the chef, right?

486
00:40:55,090 --> 00:40:59,250
What's more, Pia was going through the situation in
the one who told him, ah, you are the one

487
00:40:59,250 --> 00:41:00,250
He makes the desserts, right?

488
00:41:00,450 --> 00:41:01,308
Always, right?

489
00:41:01,310 --> 00:41:05,170
And the good thing about Pia is that she never looked for a
recognition too, right? Yes who

490
00:41:05,170 --> 00:41:07,090
He knows Pia he knows she's not looking
that.

491
00:41:07,350 --> 00:41:12,090
Pia is looking for her workplace and
Pia is looking, yes she is looking

492
00:41:12,090 --> 00:41:14,970
respect, Pia is seeking respect from the
people who cook

493
00:41:15,290 --> 00:41:18,350
And now you're looking for respect, right? In
this...

494
00:41:19,180 --> 00:41:24,520
village is let's say this world
gastronomic with respect

495
00:41:40,270 --> 00:41:44,970
There was a frenetic pace, let's say, of
cooking, traveling, connecting with

496
00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:49,110
people, meetings, and agendas like
how filling

497
00:41:51,130 --> 00:41:56,190
We obsessively had some blackboards
giants with what was happening in the

498
00:41:56,190 --> 00:42:00,410
week, and each time it filled up and
filled, and that makes us anxious, because

499
00:42:00,410 --> 00:42:06,310
After a month the full month appeared, a
block of things that had to be done.

500
00:42:08,350 --> 00:42:09,490
The phone was ringing.

501
00:42:09,930 --> 00:42:14,650
Someone would pick up the phone and take
the reservation. That's how I wrote it.

502
00:42:15,130 --> 00:42:19,570
And suddenly from that we went to seven
people on the phone.

503
00:42:20,270 --> 00:42:23,090
People started calling and it blew up.
the phone.

504
00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:28,790
And we had a reservation problem.
Because we start to get full of

505
00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:30,410
five months, six months.

506
00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:34,330
And it was something that for us... No.
we understood why we worked

507
00:42:34,330 --> 00:42:39,130
a day. The restaurant is full, they are
all the tables, they are all tables of a

508
00:42:39,130 --> 00:42:43,750
two. We have a table of four, one
table of three, sorry, and a table of

509
00:42:43,750 --> 00:42:48,410
five. And he comes from the United States and is going to
take the territory menu. then in

510
00:42:48,410 --> 00:42:55,230
Salamater we have two packs coming
from Germany and we have on the table

511
00:42:55,230 --> 00:43:00,570
eight. From Denmark, be careful, they don't eat garlic
crude. And I let you know that we have a table

512
00:43:00,570 --> 00:43:05,630
special at Mater's table, which are
some cooks who come from Mexico.

513
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:08,870
They ask for restrictions and with that we go.

514
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,840
On March 15, two years ago, the
president spoke and suddenly we

515
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:46,840
They closed.

516
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:53,640
We all had to leave here, leave the
kitchen, leave the knives, leave everything.

517
00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:02,960
We turn the tables and go home to do nothing

518
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,280
nothing and not knowing what was happening.

519
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,440
And uncertainty appeared.

520
00:44:39,630 --> 00:44:44,650
There was talk of a change of era, a
new normal and things like that.

521
00:44:45,090 --> 00:44:49,490
Well, within the new normal, the
tremendous helplessness starting from no

522
00:44:49,490 --> 00:44:56,170
You knew what was happening, you didn't know what to do,
that you have a lot of people waiting for one

523
00:44:56,170 --> 00:45:01,030
response and obviously one as a leader
has to assume the responsibilities,

524
00:45:01,030 --> 00:45:02,030
consequences and everything.

525
00:45:02,290 --> 00:45:08,590
And well, I had to look for the
solutions, thoughts.

526
00:45:09,420 --> 00:45:15,780
So negative, right? So toxic, right?
That suddenly a restaurant doesn't

527
00:45:15,780 --> 00:45:16,780
it works.

528
00:45:16,940 --> 00:45:21,460
How do you get back? If this was going to be 15
days or not, because I didn't believe it.

529
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:29,500
How, if really, if a
pandemic of this level, with these

530
00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:34,780
global implications, what were we thinking
us as a restaurant now, right?

531
00:45:35,300 --> 00:45:37,900
What was going to happen to what we were doing?

532
00:45:38,190 --> 00:45:42,470
if what was really relevant
We did or didn't, because it might not be.

533
00:45:48,830 --> 00:45:53,330
Just on March 15, two years ago, I
I was in Lima, we were working in

534
00:45:53,330 --> 00:45:59,450
Central and had the best with Virgilio
Planned three trips in the next month.

535
00:45:59,510 --> 00:46:03,370
I remember that the one who followed was
Atomics in New York. We couldn't do it

536
00:46:03,370 --> 00:46:05,690
do, it was canceled and when it was canceled
that...

537
00:46:05,900 --> 00:46:08,740
I already saw it coming that what was coming to Lima
same, right?

538
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:15,380
Well, for me who lives in the kitchen,
assume this not

539
00:46:15,380 --> 00:46:20,080
cooking, yes it was terrible, I can't help them
lie.

540
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:26,480
I didn't imagine waking up and suddenly
not having much to do.

541
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,200
And from there came the shock of being
accustomed 24-7 to being in a rhythm

542
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:39,460
very hard To do nothing, right? and about
everything physically, right? That was also

543
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:44,380
Ugh. I remember that we lived there and
Virgilio told me, I'm going to the living room

544
00:46:44,380 --> 00:46:47,180
central to think about, right?

545
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,140
I'm going to run, I remember that I was running
over here.

546
00:46:51,060 --> 00:46:56,500
For me, who is not from here, it was very
difficult to be so far from my family.

547
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,340
The issue of confinement was super difficult.

548
00:47:00,890 --> 00:47:03,990
What are we going to do with the 100 people
who are part of our team? what

549
00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:04,990
are we going to tell them?

550
00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:07,850
And it was horrible, wasn't it?

551
00:47:08,710 --> 00:47:12,230
The meetings, I remember, on Zoom,
Until what month do we arrive, right? Because,

552
00:47:12,310 --> 00:47:14,270
Mariana, until what month can we last?

553
00:47:14,630 --> 00:47:16,470
Ugh, two more months.

554
00:47:16,930 --> 00:47:18,110
Now what do we do? Where from?

555
00:47:18,630 --> 00:47:21,970
No, because we had a
investment of the entire move. So,

556
00:47:22,030 --> 00:47:26,550
It wasn't that we didn't have debts or anything.
It was horrible, it was horrible.

557
00:47:27,310 --> 00:47:31,250
Yes, there were times when, for
For example, let's see, if we talk to people

558
00:47:31,250 --> 00:47:36,090
who looked at the numbers, they told us two
More months like this and the story is over.

559
00:47:36,910 --> 00:47:40,790
Then I had also gotten together with
people, I had done zooms with people with

560
00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:47,390
which we could have some
money, loans, then people who

561
00:47:47,390 --> 00:47:48,970
I wanted to buy, central.

562
00:47:49,370 --> 00:47:51,010
I in a moment...

563
00:47:51,550 --> 00:47:57,110
I even questioned if this is really
idea of Central and Coye and Casa Tupa, which

564
00:47:57,110 --> 00:48:02,490
actually being so big, it was
necessary and if all this was not a mistake

565
00:48:02,490 --> 00:48:03,468
that we had done.

566
00:48:03,470 --> 00:48:09,970
I didn't think so much that it was a mistake, yes
in the future this would work

567
00:48:09,970 --> 00:48:14,250
with all these restrictions of going to
restaurants.

568
00:48:15,509 --> 00:48:19,950
You are always used to serving
to the full restaurant, right? And after the

569
00:48:19,950 --> 00:48:24,730
overnight this pandemic passes and
then you see that people don't come once or

570
00:48:24,730 --> 00:48:29,390
two tables. Then you realize
like, hey, something's going on here and we have to

571
00:48:29,390 --> 00:48:32,910
restructure things, right? and
Virgilio and Pia have always been people

572
00:48:32,910 --> 00:48:37,270
that always, personally I always
I trust them, right? Always all

573
00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:40,630
what they have told me and everyone who
They think about the future, it has always been

574
00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:44,140
fulfilled. And in that moment when
They said, guys, let's be strong because

575
00:48:44,140 --> 00:48:48,280
This is going to happen and this is going to happen, I
I am one of the first people who always

576
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,198
I believe in them.

577
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:53,780
Some of us were unlucky enough to
get sick and every day

578
00:48:53,780 --> 00:48:55,260
call, how are you? What do you need?

579
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,880
And that doesn't happen in other restaurants.

580
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,360
I think it has happened to all of us to have
half fucked up thoughts, half

581
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,840
complicated at the time of the pandemic,
see things a little dark, but

582
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,820
truth that he always had very, very
clear the path.

583
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,420
We had to reinvent ourselves,
we had to, when they gave us that

584
00:49:17,420 --> 00:49:20,300
possibility of being able to open the
restaurants only with delivery,

585
00:49:20,620 --> 00:49:22,860
It was, let's say, a challenge for everyone.

586
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,440
We went from making haute cuisine, or from
best haute cuisine in the world, to do

587
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:34,400
delivery, and it was not a field in which
we were used to

588
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,380
move The same waiters, I include
I too, as head of service,

589
00:49:38,540 --> 00:49:42,420
We started answering the phones
people, and the same service guys

590
00:49:42,420 --> 00:49:43,500
with cars.

591
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,540
of the company and each person's cars,
we were going to bring the food

592
00:49:47,540 --> 00:49:49,920
personally to clients.

593
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:56,840
Deliveries, on the one hand, were a
economic salvation, but

594
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,300
It was our downfall because we
we work in a salon, we

595
00:50:00,300 --> 00:50:04,500
We work for people who feel,
We don't work for people who are in

596
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:05,500
his house.

597
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:11,140
We didn't really like this idea of doing
deliveries, this idea that changes

598
00:50:11,140 --> 00:50:13,240
everything, this idea that there was dark
kitchens.

599
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:17,040
In our case, be careful, we
we plan an experience, an

600
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,900
experience that can last two, three
hours to four hours. And in those hours

601
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:28,000
What are you, we wanted to do
things that transcend, or is what

602
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,400
we search The pandemic taught us a
Lots of things we didn't know

603
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,110
we knew Because we believe that already
we were tested by the fact of being a

604
00:50:37,110 --> 00:50:40,790
couple who cooks, who is in this
stressful environment, a kitchen and that

605
00:50:40,790 --> 00:50:46,150
Let's always see, right? The faces, let's say,
We were already on trial, right? I think that that

606
00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:51,450
we had passed the test, we had
We've spent a lot of time together, right?

607
00:50:51,490 --> 00:50:52,490
A long time, I say.

608
00:50:53,330 --> 00:50:57,670
So I think that, the truth is, it's not that
It wasn't a bet, in our case I think

609
00:50:57,670 --> 00:51:00,330
which was the opposite, it was like...

610
00:51:01,230 --> 00:51:05,390
It was a moment to enjoy
that now we can be together, without

611
00:51:05,390 --> 00:51:08,270
the stress we are under
accustomed to carrying.

612
00:51:08,690 --> 00:51:14,790
The test was whether we could live
calm, something like that, and I think it was

613
00:51:14,790 --> 00:51:15,790
totally surpassed.

614
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:34,200
This space, which is one of the spaces
of Casa Tupac, Virgilio had occupied it since

615
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,200
that we moved here.

616
00:51:35,380 --> 00:51:40,320
And he intentionally wanted to be in the
same place as Central because I knew that

617
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,000
I couldn't separate one thing from the other.

618
00:51:43,580 --> 00:51:50,460
I think this is one of the spaces that most
I like it because it connects with

619
00:51:50,460 --> 00:51:52,820
all Casa Tupac. That is, from here you can
see...

620
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:56,860
the boys eating on the third floor,
and in fact it reminds me a lot when

621
00:51:56,860 --> 00:52:02,640
We spoke with Pía from a distance, because
Pía was here, suddenly with Cristol

622
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:07,440
at some point, and then
communicated with the kids here, and

623
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,480
administration office is in that
window, and then you could also see

624
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:17,100
the girls working, then nothing,
Virgilio and Pía always had that way for me

625
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:22,500
communication, and nothing, in a pandemic, in
quarantine times,

626
00:52:23,340 --> 00:52:28,480
This place was also like an oasis,
because you had the calm, the tranquility,

627
00:52:28,540 --> 00:52:33,580
a silence that suddenly
was disorienting at times, but also

628
00:52:33,580 --> 00:52:38,720
brought you back home and to what we
like to do and the expectation that

629
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:40,660
things were going to be good.

630
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,180
Cusco six thirty?

631
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:55,400
Yes.

632
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:23,320
The sky is falling on us, I don't know from where.

633
00:53:23,660 --> 00:53:28,820
The mountains, right? But what falls on us
to understand that the

634
00:53:28,820 --> 00:53:33,980
responsibility is even more important
than when we open.

635
00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:37,380
That when we opened four years ago.

636
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,420
Cooking might be easy, but finding
the transcendence in what you cook, there

637
00:53:50,420 --> 00:53:51,420
the difficulty comes out.

638
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:09,300
And I think that in this search, this
internal and external exploration and

639
00:54:09,300 --> 00:54:14,140
What's more, we find the content
that gives us all this thickness to go

640
00:54:14,140 --> 00:54:18,720
to the world or go from here and tell the
world what we are doing.

641
00:55:59,820 --> 00:56:04,500
love how are you getting there

642
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:10,620
we are not on the way we are like ones
minutes already a thousand and

643
00:56:10,620 --> 00:56:12,960
seeing what's going to happen

644
00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:28,610
No, I won't come back tonight, I can't.

645
00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:32,250
I'll be back two more days and that's it
three.

646
00:56:32,870 --> 00:56:38,050
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's just that, already
you know, that is.

647
00:56:39,290 --> 00:56:45,610
We are going to open and we are opening with
everything, so I can't

648
00:56:45,610 --> 00:56:47,730
go so soon.

649
00:56:48,190 --> 00:56:50,130
I have to stay a little longer.

650
00:56:50,630 --> 00:56:54,410
Now, now, I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it.

651
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:05,140
The service issue is going well, the
vitality, reserves, all that, I think

652
00:57:05,140 --> 00:57:11,760
It looks great, but hey, there's a lack of people in
kitchen, especially in processes.

653
00:57:13,240 --> 00:57:14,240
Nothing,

654
00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:21,600
May everything turn out nice tomorrow, in the
first day, a great

655
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:26,660
hug to the whole team, here from home
from Tupac we wish you the best.

656
00:57:27,980 --> 00:57:28,980
Kisses.

657
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:42,880
That?

658
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:44,320
How are you?

659
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:45,440
How are you?

660
00:57:45,540 --> 00:57:48,840
How are the girls at the entrance?
Good? Good.

661
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,580
They are there a bit too.

662
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:51,960
Yes.

663
00:57:52,260 --> 00:57:54,960
Look at the jewels, how they have grown, right?
Have you seen?

664
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,880
Yes, they are so big that we have them
I had to reduce it a little. The idea

665
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:03,240
is that the people who are eating can
see from the windows outside, right? and this

666
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,240
It has been maintained, right?

667
00:58:05,370 --> 00:58:06,750
Same, perfect. I thought it was going to
move.

668
00:58:07,150 --> 00:58:08,550
I haven't wanted to do anything to him anymore.

669
00:58:08,990 --> 00:58:12,770
No, don't even touch it. I didn't want to touch him
because I thought at some point how to give it

670
00:58:12,770 --> 00:58:14,630
a polished one, but I said, I better leave it
like this.

671
00:58:14,850 --> 00:58:19,470
No, but it's like in two years this will be
has turned a little to the left,

672
00:58:19,470 --> 00:58:20,470
right? Yes.

673
00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:23,730
So cute. Yes, Kodi knew what to put.

674
00:58:24,970 --> 00:58:26,210
They are so pretty.

675
00:58:28,890 --> 00:58:29,890
How are you?

676
00:58:31,950 --> 00:58:34,530
Hello, hello, hello. How are they? Hello,
hello, hello How are they?

677
00:58:36,470 --> 00:58:37,470
Hello,

678
00:58:38,290 --> 00:58:39,290
hello, hello

679
00:58:40,550 --> 00:58:45,910
These are the ones that have been a part of. The
who have been part of and continue to be

680
00:58:45,910 --> 00:58:46,529
part of.

681
00:58:46,530 --> 00:58:48,470
Those who left their mark, well, the
history.

682
00:58:49,050 --> 00:58:54,670
And there will continue to be, that is why Vero has
left the space blank for those who

683
00:58:54,670 --> 00:58:55,950
They are going to add up little by little.

684
00:58:56,170 --> 00:58:58,210
Well when you are the story, the
present.

685
00:58:58,850 --> 00:59:00,870
In each dish you have to see this
landscape.

686
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,100
This is why we start.

687
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:08,220
And then we'll see how
They develop the flavors and all this.

688
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,340
But it's the landscape. Now, ready.

689
00:59:10,660 --> 00:59:14,480
What is the dish now that reflects the most
the, let's say, not the sense of place nor

690
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:19,980
the height, but the season, let's say? The
Mil station, I think it would be...

691
00:59:20,419 --> 00:59:24,440
the corn could be there and we are
using the tarwi thing, I also

692
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,860
It seems that it is quite... That moment,
right? That moment is very colorful and you can see

693
00:59:27,860 --> 00:59:31,280
flowers a lot, right? How they look here
the flowers, you can also see the crunch.

694
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,160
Notice that what is not on this table
is in the field. Sure, yes. and you're going to

695
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,460
realize that many times you are going to
be in the kitchen or there will be a lot

696
00:59:38,460 --> 00:59:42,180
people in the kitchen who are going to open the
kitchen, going out to the field, going to catch

697
00:59:42,180 --> 00:59:46,060
a vegetable and it's going to come back and it's going to
finish the table. And that's the magic of

698
00:59:46,060 --> 00:59:49,980
Emil. If we leave a space for that
magic is very important.

699
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:54,520
Surely there will be a menu, I
I imagine now back with more colors,

700
00:59:54,600 --> 01:00:00,500
I imagine there will be much more
reflection on what the field is and then

701
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:02,280
this stage of...

702
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:08,000
to work more with the community, which
I think there is a better link now,

703
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,740
right? That's how it is. I want to live up to it
of this, because tomorrow they have a table

704
01:00:11,740 --> 01:00:15,500
you, because tomorrow we open, and tomorrow
do you have a table for the menu

705
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:21,860
tasting, that is, around 12:00 p.m.
average, right? Table for two, one lunch

706
01:00:21,860 --> 01:00:26,040
romantic In fact there will be a lot
people in the community now.

707
01:00:26,790 --> 01:00:30,130
coming to really check if your
products are placed on the table. and

708
01:00:30,130 --> 01:00:32,810
It's also important... Well, like
Cleto... Cleto, of course.

709
01:00:33,170 --> 01:00:34,930
So Cleto wants to see your products
on table

710
01:00:36,090 --> 01:00:38,850
The production is there. I would say that the
80% will be there.

711
01:00:39,190 --> 01:00:42,570
And we are getting the other one from
local producers. That is why we

712
01:00:42,570 --> 01:00:47,810
we are moving, you know, with Nilver to
the jungle But? Cocoa themes and

713
01:00:47,810 --> 01:00:48,810
sweet themes.

714
01:00:54,250 --> 01:00:58,510
With Mater what we do is record,
record knowledge, record

715
01:00:58,510 --> 01:01:02,530
nature of sites, record which
They are the people who are linked

716
01:01:02,530 --> 01:01:03,970
directly to the existence of
products.

717
01:01:04,650 --> 01:01:09,050
So all that we collect with
Mater then we provide it to the

718
01:01:09,050 --> 01:01:12,510
restaurants, to Central, to Coye, to Mayo,
to Mil.

719
01:01:13,150 --> 01:01:18,830
In the case of Mil, the contact is also
more direct and discover that the region

720
01:01:18,830 --> 01:01:21,070
It also has an Amazonian area that was...

721
01:01:21,550 --> 01:01:26,330
It was lovely for us because
been crossing landscapes to reach

722
01:01:26,330 --> 01:01:28,090
a spectacular cocoa area.

723
01:02:16,490 --> 01:02:17,490
Here, Romulo.

724
01:02:18,570 --> 01:02:21,050
It's going to roll, it's going to roll.

725
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:48,020
Every time I come to this place to
visiting Rómulos, it is always a stop

726
01:02:48,020 --> 01:02:49,700
fix here, fix, fix here.

727
01:02:51,180 --> 01:02:55,780
To be standing here is to see nature,
enjoy the sound of chirping,

728
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,480
of the birds, of the insects.

729
01:02:59,220 --> 01:03:04,260
That's it, isn't it? And even more so the sound of
river, from the Vilcanote River. It is unique, it is

730
01:03:04,260 --> 01:03:08,440
Sit here, it's tranquility, it's peace,
It's breathing deeply.

731
01:03:09,549 --> 01:03:16,210
It is unique, it is feeling nature, it is
connection with the sea and land, it is very

732
01:03:16,210 --> 01:03:17,210
important to me.

733
01:03:22,630 --> 01:03:27,450
What I do from this fruit
of cocoa, take advantage of every part of the

734
01:03:27,450 --> 01:03:28,450
cocoa.

735
01:03:28,730 --> 01:03:34,410
The shell as such what I have done is
toast it and then through a process of

736
01:03:34,410 --> 01:03:38,130
cooking, the liquid from the liquid
what I have made is a kombucha that

737
01:03:38,130 --> 01:03:40,460
It would be this here. which is a
refreshing drink.

738
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:46,860
This would be the cob, the cocoa,
the seeds, just this, nothing more

739
01:03:46,860 --> 01:03:48,560
we are doing to make chocolate.

740
01:03:49,420 --> 01:03:54,900
From this musilage, for example,
we make gel, you can make vinegar

741
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:59,420
musilagus This is oat flour
and this is the flour of the shell like

742
01:03:59,420 --> 01:04:00,379
such.

743
01:04:00,380 --> 01:04:06,020
What I have done with this part which is
very hard, as you can see, then what

744
01:04:06,020 --> 01:04:07,020
I do is dehydrate it.

745
01:04:07,530 --> 01:04:11,290
And I get like a hard part, like a
wood, all this, but it has

746
01:04:11,290 --> 01:04:13,670
even pectin properties.

747
01:04:14,050 --> 01:04:20,430
What I do is smoke it. Once already
smoked, I do a process of

748
01:04:20,430 --> 01:04:24,410
infusion. From that infusion, it is
a soybean

749
01:04:25,370 --> 01:04:29,570
So this is a very citrus flavor,

750
01:04:29,730 --> 01:04:35,630
nuts, wood. It's a pulp.

751
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:41,420
And it's like a peach pulp, which is
very similar.

752
01:04:42,220 --> 01:04:47,940
So in experience you live this
world of cocoa, taking advantage of every part

753
01:04:47,940 --> 01:04:48,940
of this fruit.

754
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,360
Right now our chocolate is a blend of
all these shits. Of all the

755
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,460
chunchos. Exact. It's complicated,
Let's say, in quotes.

756
01:05:00,890 --> 01:05:03,050
Have a specific batch of a chuncho.

757
01:05:03,530 --> 01:05:07,370
What happens is that in the fermentation
They are mixed, right? Exact. You already

758
01:05:07,370 --> 01:05:10,390
It comes like this. Yes, in fact you can see and
the seeds can be different

759
01:05:10,390 --> 01:05:15,090
sizes, right? Look, for example. What's more,
so you know, Nielber made the plan there,

760
01:05:15,090 --> 01:05:18,610
right? And you will see the variety of chunchos
that are there. So if someone

761
01:05:18,610 --> 01:05:20,190
really asking you, I don't know.

762
01:05:20,590 --> 01:05:25,330
For example, this is the map of the
convention province. So,

763
01:05:25,730 --> 01:05:29,190
within the province of the convention
You will find many areas like...

764
01:05:31,620 --> 01:05:32,598
districts, communities.

765
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:37,140
And there are the heights, right? That is, of
each of the places where it is taken,

766
01:05:37,140 --> 01:05:38,160
right? As is, as is.

767
01:05:40,020 --> 01:05:45,400
At Mater we seek, in addition to registering and
articulate knowledge and articulate

768
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:46,600
knowledge of people

769
01:05:47,230 --> 01:05:50,910
Also develop projects, take out
forward actions that seem to us

770
01:05:50,910 --> 01:05:54,930
important. Especially when you start
to know someone, you start to know

771
01:05:54,930 --> 01:05:57,950
to a community, to a group of people
that you know they are doing something

772
01:05:57,950 --> 01:06:02,690
interesting or what do you know they are
doing something that could be valuable if

773
01:06:02,690 --> 01:06:03,710
it becomes more visible.

774
01:06:04,670 --> 01:06:08,730
That's where we come in to carve and
We suddenly went in to do a

775
01:06:08,730 --> 01:06:13,570
more consensual development of what is
that can be moved forward.

776
01:06:13,930 --> 01:06:19,310
This is how the workshop was established
dyed with Huarmi botanical dyes,

777
01:06:19,430 --> 01:06:22,390
of women, of the community of
Cajiaracay.

778
01:06:23,650 --> 01:06:28,550
And also rescue a little bit of culture
What is behind this manual art and

779
01:06:28,550 --> 01:06:30,310
this wisdom in your hands.

780
01:06:39,839 --> 01:06:41,340
My little vest, I'm watching.

781
01:06:41,980 --> 01:06:43,960
Look how cute. How are you, Zeferina?

782
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:45,680
Zeferina, how are you?

783
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,000
How's it going?

784
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:47,839
What are you saying?

785
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,200
Is it looking pretty? Hi darling.

786
01:06:49,500 --> 01:06:50,259
How's it going?

787
01:06:50,260 --> 01:06:51,260
How are you?

788
01:06:51,340 --> 01:06:52,360
Hey, it turned out nice.

789
01:06:53,100 --> 01:06:54,100
For Inés?

790
01:06:55,020 --> 01:06:56,020
Is this Collie?

791
01:06:57,660 --> 01:06:58,660
What is that?

792
01:06:59,140 --> 01:07:00,640
Collie. Is this the one here?

793
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:01,840
Yes, this one.

794
01:07:02,740 --> 01:07:04,440
So this is the one you put in?
here?

795
01:07:04,740 --> 01:07:05,538
Yes. Right?

796
01:07:05,540 --> 01:07:06,720
Yes, we have put it in.

797
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:11,960
That. We split half and put one in
colle and another we put in chilca. That

798
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:12,919
tal? Ya.

799
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:14,240
Is this the chilca right now?

800
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:18,060
Is it wet? Yes, now they don't want to
take it out. And I think the school is

801
01:07:18,060 --> 01:07:19,060
having like a...

802
01:08:06,250 --> 01:08:10,370
In Mater's work you have a
incredible visibility platform

803
01:08:10,370 --> 01:08:14,610
what is gastronomy, what we have always done
seen as the great vehicle. And in fact,

804
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:18,990
all the disciplines that have been added
to Mater's work they have always seen

805
01:08:18,990 --> 01:08:23,330
gastronomy like that platform that makes
that knowledge can be more

806
01:08:23,330 --> 01:08:24,330
accessible.

807
01:08:26,729 --> 01:08:30,290
We have worked with scientists, with
entomologists, with engineers

808
01:08:30,290 --> 01:08:35,630
agronomy, forestry, with biologists, who
They tell us, it will be difficult for one

809
01:08:35,630 --> 01:08:40,250
thesis is suddenly interesting or
attractive to someone, but through

810
01:08:40,250 --> 01:08:41,250
astronomy is possible.

811
01:08:45,590 --> 01:08:49,790
And then in the world of liquids,
What Manuel Contreras has done is link

812
01:08:49,790 --> 01:08:51,990
all this...

813
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:58,939
cultural world of plants
medicinal products and local botanicals,

814
01:08:58,939 --> 01:09:05,340
endemic, native, native plants,
Link that to drinks.

815
01:09:13,140 --> 01:09:19,040
Then the distillates, the ferments,
all these preparations that he does in the

816
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,600
liquid world, they become a job
of mater.

817
01:10:09,620 --> 01:10:14,740
I was born in the north of Peru, in the
department of Cajamarca, in the eyebrow of

818
01:10:14,740 --> 01:10:20,880
jungle between the Amazon or the
department of Amazonas and the mountains of

819
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:26,780
Cajamarca. From a very young age I saw my
father keep up with the theme of the

820
01:10:26,780 --> 01:10:30,120
collection, also curing with
medicinal plants.

821
01:10:30,510 --> 01:10:35,150
My grandfather did it too, so my
father has that inheritance from me

822
01:10:35,150 --> 01:10:41,290
grandfather For them, the most important thing
everything, on the medicinal topic, always

823
01:10:41,290 --> 01:10:44,450
They looked for those mountain range plants.

824
01:10:45,070 --> 01:10:48,290
For them, most plants
mountain range are medicinal.

825
01:10:48,590 --> 01:10:55,590
In fact, for pre-Inca cultures,
Incas and for many now towns or

826
01:10:55,590 --> 01:10:58,290
peasant communities, for them it is...

827
01:10:58,510 --> 01:11:03,170
Before going to a pharmacy it is always
go to, in this case, nature.

828
01:11:04,890 --> 01:11:08,850
I trust a lot in knowledge
traditional plants and suddenly

829
01:11:08,850 --> 01:11:11,130
It reminded me of when I was little.

830
01:11:11,710 --> 01:11:14,850
So for me everything seemed familiar.

831
01:11:15,190 --> 01:11:20,150
I found myself here, I found my
passion and then from that moment on

832
01:11:20,150 --> 01:11:21,390
I still do it until now.

833
01:11:22,170 --> 01:11:26,390
I think Emil's reopening is coming
be something for Virgil, for...

834
01:11:26,750 --> 01:11:33,190
Tweet from a distance, for me, for everyone
those of us who have lived in Casa Tupac and

835
01:11:33,190 --> 01:11:36,310
everything we have done is a question
very personal.

836
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:43,710
It's like, now it's starting to feel
we are going to cover all that

837
01:11:43,710 --> 01:11:44,710
that we want to be.

838
01:11:45,490 --> 01:11:49,070
For us Mil was always a place
relevant, it was always important what

839
01:11:49,070 --> 01:11:50,009
we do here.

840
01:11:50,010 --> 01:11:55,230
So, returning, returning was what
was missing.

841
01:11:56,010 --> 01:11:59,050
Peruvian culture is definitely
that defines us.

842
01:12:00,110 --> 01:12:06,010
And I believe that this idea of ​​Virgil's
build a research center that

843
01:12:06,010 --> 01:12:11,790
do a review of what's in it
Peruvian territory was also those

844
01:12:11,790 --> 01:12:16,710
desire to give back to the country what
We felt we owed him.

845
01:12:40,510 --> 01:12:43,610
Thank you so much. Many

846
01:12:43,610 --> 01:12:53,830
gracias.

847
01:13:18,420 --> 01:13:20,900
Two years have felt like ten
years.

848
01:13:22,140 --> 01:13:26,920
Two years not being here stepping on this and two
years of not seeing our crops has been

849
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:27,920
too much.

850
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:38,840
So it's very exciting

851
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,420
suddenly meet again with this
nature, with spaces.

852
01:13:52,170 --> 01:13:57,570
It is one of the feelings you also maintain
the table or the wood

853
01:13:57,570 --> 01:14:00,750
materials from here and

854
01:14:00,750 --> 01:14:08,190
do

855
01:14:08,190 --> 01:14:15,370
the

856
01:14:15,370 --> 01:14:20,560
work that again is done when
one does a reopening or do you have to

857
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:27,500
do rigorously, which is to clean the
house, fix all the appliances,

858
01:14:27,500 --> 01:14:33,380
chairs, tables, electrical appliances,
kitchens, generating equipment and all this.

859
01:14:33,700 --> 01:14:40,500
Look, thickeners from here, jellies from
here, textures from here, bitters from here, from

860
01:14:40,500 --> 01:14:42,500
the roots, the bitter ones from here, for
example.

861
01:14:43,900 --> 01:14:49,020
The other thing that happens, which is the magic of
Emil, that's what we see here.

862
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:53,760
So we have cane distillate here,
We have an infusion here, did you tell me?

863
01:14:54,020 --> 01:14:57,460
Yes, we also have a distillate,
but worked with cabulla. Yes, here

864
01:14:57,460 --> 01:15:02,180
We have a cocktail, right? Here we go to
have a cocktail, likewise. and what is

865
01:15:02,180 --> 01:15:04,480
the drink? The chicha The chicha, ok.

866
01:15:04,820 --> 01:15:05,679
No,

867
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:06,680
the chicha for here.

868
01:15:19,790 --> 01:15:24,930
There is a beautiful job that doesn't beat us
the excitement, the excitement of being

869
01:15:24,930 --> 01:15:25,970
come back because there is a lot to see.

870
01:15:26,510 --> 01:15:29,250
We have to manage it very well
because it is not an emotion that can

871
01:15:29,250 --> 01:15:32,970
win, because we really want
eat everything, we want to go to everyone

872
01:15:32,970 --> 01:15:35,630
sides, but we must not forget that
We have to do a service today.

873
01:15:35,850 --> 01:15:37,890
Aida, tell me, this table?

874
01:15:38,490 --> 01:15:40,870
Yes, chef. Here comes a cook. They are
six people.

875
01:15:41,290 --> 01:15:44,730
And he has a birthday. Luján is

876
01:15:44,730 --> 01:15:48,550

877
01:15:48,790 --> 01:15:51,390
Yes, we are going to have a couple of pairings in
table. A couple of pairings.

878
01:15:51,710 --> 01:15:56,430
Ready. Well, here we are going to have some
people coming from Switzerland.

879
01:15:57,270 --> 01:16:02,370
They also prepared their reservation with
anticipation two years ago. and the journey

880
01:16:02,370 --> 01:16:04,310
It is exclusive to come here.

881
01:16:05,270 --> 01:16:06,209
Fantastic. Yes.

Good. Good place, right?

Well, I see that all the tables have
Somehow a good view, right? Yeah

01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:22,100
It is not to the field, but to the mountains,
It's going to be to heaven and if not it's a little to

886
01:16:22,100 --> 01:16:26,580
distilled lounge and what is a thousand, more
that all mater.

887
01:16:28,620 --> 01:16:30,420
Here, for example, did you tell me?

888
01:16:30,700 --> 01:16:33,460
Yes, here we are going to have some people from
Argentina.

889
01:16:35,820 --> 01:16:39,200
They made the recipe recently,
excited, they took a tour

890
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:44,020
gastronomic in Lima and now they come
exclusively here to learn about

891
01:16:44,020 --> 01:16:45,320
us. Ok, great.

892
01:16:47,660 --> 01:16:48,660
Something to know?

893
01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:53,260
Are you nervous? No, excited. Are you
excited? Yes. Good.

894
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:55,820
Is anyone nervous about the team?

895
01:16:56,280 --> 01:17:01,400
No, actually everyone is very excited,
we have worked these three days with

896
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:05,740
a lot of energy and yes, everyone is super
happy Ok, that's good, that's good

897
01:17:05,740 --> 01:17:06,740
know it.

898
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:11,800
I don't have nerves guys, the truth is
This is something that is going to nourish us a lot,

899
01:17:11,900 --> 01:17:15,980
I really feel emotion, I am very
happy to be able to reopen, I see faces

900
01:17:15,980 --> 01:17:17,520
known, we know what we do,

901
01:17:18,260 --> 01:17:21,360
We have the desire and I believe that this is going to
Be, let this be good.

902
01:17:21,580 --> 01:17:23,820
We have clear positions,
We know what we have to do.

903
01:17:24,590 --> 01:17:27,430
This, nothing, we have to do a good
service. Chef, anything you want?

904
01:17:27,430 --> 01:17:31,370
add? It is important to know in what
moment we can anticipate a problem.

905
01:17:31,850 --> 01:17:35,250
Nothing more, because the other is already in
play, right? That is, the other thing we already know is that

906
01:17:35,250 --> 01:17:37,110
It goes like this, right?

907
01:17:37,370 --> 01:17:38,690
What can change the situation a little?

908
01:17:39,010 --> 01:17:40,030
Pairings, right?

909
01:17:40,410 --> 01:17:41,830
What else can change the
situation?

910
01:17:42,830 --> 01:17:43,830
Allergy.

911
01:17:44,170 --> 01:17:46,770
Allergy, an allergy that appears due to
there, but everyone has had allergies

912
01:17:46,770 --> 01:17:47,728
Yeah, isn't it?

913
01:17:47,730 --> 01:17:49,670
So I think we're doing well, let's go
good.

914
01:17:49,890 --> 01:17:50,910
Ok, thanks, guys.

915
01:17:51,710 --> 01:17:52,710
Excellent service.

916
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,880
How many tears have we seen in the
thousand eaters?

917
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:15,520
How many tears have we seen in the
Thousand's room?

918
01:18:16,460 --> 01:18:20,860
Many. Because people are
excited and I think that there we have made a

919
01:18:20,860 --> 01:18:21,860
great job.

920
01:18:22,100 --> 01:18:25,660
I think it's part of what makes
the team works with so much pleasure

921
01:18:25,660 --> 01:18:29,280
too and he is so excited for this
moment.

922
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:35,020
Hey, it's good that I'm going to live that again
time, of people who get excited.

923
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,100
That is also a luxury.

924
01:18:37,870 --> 01:18:42,930
the luxury of time the luxury of
connection the luxury of the real

925
01:18:42,930 --> 01:18:49,410
the luxury of exploring the luxury of

926
01:18:49,410 --> 01:18:55,830
feeling ignorant inspires us to
inspire and

927
01:18:55,830 --> 01:18:57,030
continue

928
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:38,520
Thank you.

929
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:55,480
We finished service and it is difficult for me to process
really emotionally what does it mean

930
01:20:55,480 --> 01:21:00,920
because I have returned here in another way and
with other eyes.

931
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,480
The team is happy, the people
He enjoyed it and everything.

932
01:21:10,440 --> 01:21:16,160
But there is a part I still think
I think there are many things to do

933
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:17,160
and...

934
01:21:18,060 --> 01:21:19,400
I'm thinking about tomorrow.

935
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,440
In me I feel like I'm not in the kitchen.
In me I feel that I am in spaces

936
01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:46,300
unexplored. And I think this part of
cook for me...

937
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:47,800
has changed a lot.

938
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:52,440
For me, a thousand also marks a before and a
then important.

939
01:21:55,660 --> 01:22:01,380
The dose of passion always has to
being, the dose of emotion, of feeling

940
01:22:01,380 --> 01:22:07,800
that this place is yours, that here is a
particular feeling, which here generates

941
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:08,800
an interesting mystique.

942
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:10,400
Let's say that you can't lose that.

943
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:17,500
I think there is a lot of Virgil in
before in the Virgil of now, in

944
01:22:17,500 --> 01:22:24,260
terms of creativity, desire to
explore, search for more, too

945
01:22:24,260 --> 01:22:27,420
of ambition and the desire to eat the
world.

946
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:32,140
I think that was Virgil as a child.
and that is still the Virgil of today.

947
01:22:32,380 --> 01:22:38,120
And I really don't think there's one coming
maturity of that, but it will always be

948
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:39,820
keep like a child spirit.

949
01:22:40,460 --> 01:22:44,280
the spirit of curiosity and searching
that from outside.

950
01:22:45,980 --> 01:22:52,460
Virgil is very determined, he is
extremely stubborn too.

951
01:22:53,420 --> 01:22:57,100
He has things clear about what
likes, what you don't like, what you want

952
01:22:57,100 --> 01:22:58,019
and what not.

953
01:22:58,020 --> 01:23:02,840
It is a person who transmits you to where
wants to go It is a story of many

954
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:08,980
passion, it is very real, very authentic, but
also a lot of madness, a lot

955
01:23:08,980 --> 01:23:09,980
intensity.

956
01:23:10,430 --> 01:23:15,090
I think we have achieved something very big,
something real, we really feel it.

957
01:23:15,890 --> 01:23:22,390
So we have this dreamer who
nothing, well you have to listen to it,

958
01:23:22,430 --> 01:23:23,670
then something will appear.

959
01:23:25,470 --> 01:23:30,350
It is very difficult for me to understand that
there is my growth individually

960
01:23:30,350 --> 01:23:35,110
without the collective, because also the
I see growth with the people who

961
01:23:35,110 --> 01:23:36,110
I relate.

962
01:23:36,660 --> 01:23:41,960
I very much think that, as they say, one is a
large percentage with people who walk. and

963
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:48,660
I generally sink, I hang out with people
which is closely related to cooking,

964
01:23:48,660 --> 01:23:50,580
agriculture, gastronomy.

965
01:23:50,900 --> 01:23:52,960
My way of growing is with people.

966
01:23:56,020 --> 01:24:02,720
On a day-to-day basis I find myself confused,
I see myself lost, I see myself, I don't know...

967
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,920
In peaks of joy, then I see myself in
spikes of worry, of doing things

968
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:13,060
things very well, I know for sure that I am very
obsessive and all this has come to me, I

969
01:24:13,060 --> 01:24:18,420
I'm adding all these things I have
and it is generating what is me, what is

970
01:24:18,420 --> 01:24:19,680
my identity and what I am.

971
01:24:22,020 --> 01:24:23,740
Do I consider myself an optimist? Yes.

972
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:29,020
happy I think that happiness is very
difficult because there will always be things

973
01:24:29,020 --> 01:24:33,240
that they are going to take away your happiness, it is more to be
cook takes away your happiness, takes away your happiness

974
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:38,700
time there are beautiful times that I am
losing because I'm cooking a

975
01:24:38,700 --> 01:24:43,600
failure at a table a failure at a
idea a failure in a project takes you away

976
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:48,780
joys that's why I'm never going to
consider happy now there are moments of

977
01:24:48,780 --> 01:24:51,840
interesting joys important and are
the ones I want to keep

978
01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:50,440
