Growing up in Lima, Peru, Franco Aldana recalls a fun, festive Christmas filled with a rich array of food and family members who spent all day feasting and indulging in the merriment of the day.
“When our families used to get together – all the women in the family – the grandmothers, aunts, cousins and sisters would cook the food and the men in the family would buy the wine and gifts as well as decorate the Christmas tree. We all had roles to play,” says the cheerful Aldana, who helms Peruvian restaurant Feliz in Kuala Lumpur.
