iArrivée.

The best first date is the one I cook for you. Restaurants are too safe. Bars are a performance. Here I get to make you something with my hands. Cooking, honestly, is just affection in flour, salt and time. So: the best first date. I'm going first.

(One disclosure about the place. I built this apartment in a single day, so it can definitely get better. I also went looking for a birch texture as warm as the one in Minecraft and couldn't find it. Would've looked top on the floor.)

The best first date.

II Cuisine

I'm cooking.
You pick.

These are the four dishes I love to cook. The four for which I actually know where to find every ingredient in Paris. There are plenty of others I'd make for you, but the ingredients are basically impossible to source here.

Don't worry, there's a lot more I'll cook for you, eventually. :)

Beef Stew

"Estofado" — slow, stubborn, very Sunday-coded

A long, low stew. Beef that gives up after the second hour. Red wine, bay leaves, an onion that took it personally. Eaten with bread you tear with your hands and absolutely no fork.

Causa Acevichada

Yellow potato, ceviche on top, lime that bites back

Cold, silky, structurally suspicious in the best way. Lima yellow potato whipped with ají amarillo, then a layer of ceviche-soaked fish on top. Looks innocent. It is not.

Spaghetti Bolognese

Twelve hours of sauce, ten minutes of pasta

The classic, taken seriously. Beef ragù that simmered through an entire podcast, a thread of red wine, parmesan grated at the table because doing it in the kitchen is a war crime.

Pulpo Anticuchero

Octopus, charred, ají panca, no apologies

Octopus on the grill, marinated in ají panca and cumin until it stops resisting. Served with a potato that's been around the block. Ends in a conversation about Lima.

IV À table

Two plates.

No small talk between bites. I make you laugh a lot. We talk about life, politics, religion, anything you find interesting. If it's interesting for you, it will be interesting for me.

Choose your weapon.

We've eaten well. Lights down. Two paths from here, and you pick. I'll save it.

Anything to change?

Cross things out. Suggest swaps. Tell me the dish you actually want, the song I missed, the thing this whole evening is missing. Below, say everything.

Bruno :)
