As Featured in Latin Times:
1. Not having a sharp knife is a serious mistake: "It is better to have a sharp knife than to have to force the knife to the point of cutting a finger," suggests the chef.
_
2. Cross contamination: "If you cut an onion and with the same knife cut a pineapple to give to your children, then the fruit will finish knowing onion," Juanma warns. "Unless everything you're cutting goes to the same pan, there's no problem."
_
3. Do not let the pan heat first: "When you're going to sauté something, you should use the hot pan so that it immediately seals the meat or fish and does not release its juices."
_
4. Keep your guacamole fresh: Like the apple, the avocado is oxidized, but according to the chef, if you keep the avocado seeds and place them inside your guacamole, it will prevent it from turning black.

La Cosecha Artes | Jorge Cáceres is a DC-based artist who was raised in Lima, Peru. Cáceres studied architecture at Ricardo Palma, one of Lima’s most renowned universities, but found himself drawn to the state of freedom that painting offered him. Following that sense of freedom, Jorge moved to the United States in the early 2000s. It was at that time that he decided that art was essential to his identity. One of his inspirations while creating the “Abstract Lines” series was the Nazca Lines found in the southern desert of Peru. There is a mixture of geometric shapes and organic shapes. Explore the Nazca Line Series collection in the second level Balcón space of La Cosecha Thursday-Sundays until February 16th. #LaCosechaArtes @jorgecaceresart
