I'm Evelyn, and I'm proud to bring the vibrant flavors of Peru to Austin through Misti Roots. Growing up surrounded by the rich culinary traditions of my homeland, I learned that Peruvian food is more than just a meal—it's a celebration of culture, history, and love.

My Mission

My passion is sharing these authentic flavors with you and inspiring you to bring them into your own kitchen. Whether you're discovering Peruvian cuisine for the first time or reconnecting with the tastes of home, I want to make it accessible, exciting, and delicious.

From traditional dishes like juanes wrapped in banana leaves to the fresh, bright flavors of quinua and hearts of palm, every recipe tells a story. I believe cooking should be an adventure—one that connects us to new cultures and brings joy to our tables.

Join me in exploring the incredible diversity of Peruvian food. Let's cook, taste, and celebrate together.

¡Buen provecho!
