@judyjoochef Instagram profile imagePeru’s Amazon has been calling my name for years—and wow, did it deliver. I ate paiche, the legendary river giant that can grow up to 15 feet long (basically the Godzilla of freshwater fish), met locals whose warmth and wisdom stay with you long after you leave, and fell headfirst into a world bursting with culture, flavor, and life at every turn. I spotted pink river dolphins, tarantulas (yes, actual huge tarantulas 😳), poisonous dart frogs, snakes of all sizes, mischievous monkeys, and what felt like a billion species of birds—nature showing off, unapologetically. I even met a real shaman who introduced us to her magical jungle elixirs… including ayahuasca. The Amazon does not do subtle! The absolute dream way to experience it all? Living on the river with Delfin Amazon Cruises @delfinamazoncruises by Relais & Châteaux. I highly recommend the Owner’s Suite (bliss!)—a cinematic, wraparound view of the river and jungle that made every sunrise feel like a movie premiere. Each day we explored by skiff and on foot, gliding deep into the rainforest with expert guides leading the way and the jungle unfolding scene by scene. I love traveling for food, stories, and soul-stirring moments—and the Amazon Rainforest in Peru gave me all three in the most unforgettable way. What an adventure. 🌎💚 Thank you to @cazenove_and_loyd. # #travel #judyjoochef #cheflife #chefsofinstagram amazon2 hours ago via Instagram
@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to the K-Viral Kitchen. Today, I’m putting a Korean twist on a cult-favorite from @joeandthejuice . 🥪🔥 Somehow, a simple tuna sandwich from this Danish juice bar became a full-blown phenomenon. Creamy tuna, avocado, tomato, and crispy flatbread…simple, satisfying, and completely craveable. My version keeps that café-style comforting creaminess, but layers in chojang for sweet heat and a little kimchi for extra depth and bite. Fresh, savory, and just spicy enough. This one absolutely lives up to the hype. Would you add kimchi to your Tunacado? ⤵️ Did you know? The tuna salad sandwich rose to fame in early-1900s America as a thrifty deli staple, transforming leftover cooked fish mixed with mayonnaise into one of lunch’s most enduring classics. Comment SANDWICH for the recipe. Ingredients: @koreafoodsuk @seoulplaza_koreafoods Makeup: @jonesroadbeauty #Tunacado #SandwichTok #FoodTok #KoreanFood #JoeAndTheJuice3 weeks ago via Instagram
@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageJanuary is a good time to return to foods that nourish from the inside out. Kimchi has been part of Korean kitchens for generations…not as a trend, but as everyday nourishment. Did you know?
Kimchi is naturally fermented and rich in beneficial bacteria, often referred to as lactobacillus, which supports gut health. It’s also a good source of fibre and contains vitamins A, B and C, along with antioxidants from ingredients like garlic, ginger and chilli. Lovely to see this classic featured in @sainsburysmag Healthy Eating, and to see kimchi highlighted as part of their health trends for the year ahead. A reminder that eating well doesn’t have to be complicated. #kimchi #fermentation #koreanfood #guthealth #healthyrecipes1 month ago via Instagram
@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageWelcome back to the K-Viral Kitchen. Today, I’m making my take on the internet-famous “Marry Me Chicken” with a Korean twist. 🍗🔥 The original version went viral for its rich, garlicky cream sauce that is worthy of a proposal. My remix brings together Italian-American comfort and Korean spice: tender chicken cutlets simmered in a creamy, gochujang sauce that clings to every bite. It’s cozy, a little spicy, deeply craveable, and perfect for a weeknight dinner or a date night in.
