My Mom, The Heart of Our Chilean Kitchen This is my mom, Carmen, caught in her element in our bustling kitchen, and just looking at this picture fills me with such warmth and nostalgia. She's got that radiant smile, the one that tells you she's truly happy when she's creating something delicious for her family. Her dark hair is usually tied up in a practical but elegant bun or ponytail when she's cooking, just like you see here, escaping in soft tendrils around her face. Her apron, a splash of vibrant floral patterns, is so typical of her – always colorful, always reflecting her bright personality. She’s kneading dough on the rustic wooden counter, a familiar scene from countless childhood memories. Maybe it's for empanadas, or fresh pan amasado, or perhaps the base for a pastel de choclo. You can almost hear the rhythmic thud-thud of her hands working the dough, a sound that always meant something wonderful was coming. Around her, the kitchen is alive with the ingredients of a Chilean feast. Bright red tomatoes, bell peppers in yellow and green, fresh cilantro, and those unmistakable ears of corn – it’s all so vibrant and fresh, just like the markets she loves to frequent. And there, on the cutting board, is some beautiful fish, perhaps merluza or congrio, hinting at a delicious caldillo or pescado frito later on. In the background, a pot is simmering, steam rising gently, filling the air with enticing smells. And of course, there’s a glass of red wine nearby. My mom always says a little bit of vino tinto is essential for the chef – and sometimes for the pino! This kitchen isn't just a place where meals are prepared; it's a place where stories are shared, traditions are passed down, and where every dish is seasoned with her endless love and care. She's not just making food; she's weaving the fabric of our family.
