Our ninth episode of Culture & Cuisine the Podcast features Margarita Mandizabal, owner of Lemon Tree, and her son Augusto Mandizabal who translates her story for us. Margarita preps desserts while her husband cooks the meals for one of the most authentic Peruvian restaurants in Houston. Through love and passion, they built restaurants in Peru and ultimately, decided to take a risk and create a restaurant in America to build a better life for their kids. With little knowledge of the language and without many friends or family in the area, they managed to build a life that produced successful careers for their children. We discuss what it means to leave the family business, the emergence of Peruvian cuisine in the culinary space, the transformation of Houston over time, and what it takes to bridge the gaps between cultures. Augusto shares relatable recountings and amusing anecdotes that remind us we aren’t all that different after all. Stay with us as we discover the culture and cuisine of the Peruvians.
