@judyjoochef Instagram profile imagePeru has been on my list for a while, and thanks to the @solylunafoundation charity auction courtesy of @relaischateaux , I embarked on an unforgettable trip. @cazenove_and_loyd put together the perfect itinerary for this bucket list adventure. We started in Lima at @hotelblima in the bohemian Barranco district, a boutique hotel that could double as a living art gallery with its curated collection of Peruvian painters and sculptors. The sky-lit courtyard was a welcome bonus. Dinner at @kjollerest — Chef Pia Leon’s tasting menu was a revelatory experience, bringing a deeply authentic and creative approach to Peru’s staple foods. She masterfully reimagined ingredients like quinoa, corn, and chocolate, showcasing the bounty of the country’s soils in every bite. From Lima, we flew to Iquitos to board the @delfinamazoncruises . 184 feet of river luxury and unparalleled river views from the Owner’s Suite were on offer, the perfect viewing platform for scores of toucans, pink dolphins and poison dart frogs. The deep cocktail menu paired well with views of the enchanting Amazon jungle. Into the Sacred Valley next at @solylunahotel near Urubamba, featuring 25 acres of charming casitas replete with fireplaces, hummingbird gardens and farm-to-table breakfasts. Necessary to fuel hikes along the Inca Trail. Traditional pachamanca lunch at @las_qolqas was a standout. Harking to a timeless tradition of cooking meat, vegetables and herbs with volcanic rocks, the process took on a ritualistic quality. When the dish was unearthed, the smoky, earthy flavors lingered long after the meal was over. And finally, @belmondhotelmonasterio , a Belmond Hotel in Cusco. A mesmerizing 17th-century converted convent brimming with elegance in its stone arcades and hidden courtyards. Luxury shines in the details, from hand embroidered cloths to hot water bottles tucked into beds, ensuring restful, headache-free sleep in spite of the altitude. Peru weaves luxury, history and raw adventure- honored to have experienced it and to share it with @forbestravelguide . 🇵🇪 Full story at the link in bio. #forbestravel #relaischateaux #belmond26 minutes ago via Instagram
@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageHonored to be part of @Bloomberg’s Women Who Lead: Shaping the Future of Food panel in London for International Women’s Day. A meaningful conversation on the future of food and the role women play in shaping, leading, and redefining the industry every day. And, a bit of a full circle moment coming back to the Bberg offices as a speaker....deja vu to my days working on Wall Street. Grateful to Ruth David for leading such an inspiring discussion, Kate Krader @kkrader for her vision and curation, and so honored to share the stage with my dear friend and powerhouse @asmakhanlondon and the amazing @yaroslavamalkova. A powerful group of women shaping the future of food. 💙 Thank you @bloomberg for having me. The last image is a screen grab from 2011 when I was the second most viewed person on Bberg.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageJust a little more from the final chapter of my South American adventure—Argentina. 🇦🇷 I wrapped the trip in the dazzling, delicious swirl that is Buenos Aires, a city I’ve loved for years and happily return to whenever I can. It has that irresistible European elegance—one minute you feel like you’re strolling through the south of France, the next like you’ve wandered onto a sunny piazza in Italy. Add world-class wine, legendary beef, and a dining scene buzzing with energy, and you’ve got a city that knows exactly how to live well. This time, I slipped just outside the city for a proper gaucho moment at Estancia La Bamba de Areco. @relaischateaux The estancia feels like stepping into an old Argentine novel—sweeping pampas, whispering eucalyptus trees, wide verandas made for long glasses of Malbec, and rooms filled with beautiful equestrian antiques. And the horses—magnificent polo horses grazing across the fields like living sculptures. Of course, the highlight was an authentic asado: flames crackling, smoky ribbons of beef slowly caramelizing over the grill, and that unmistakable perfume of wood smoke and sizzling fat drifting through the air. Pure Argentine magic. Back in Buenos Aires, the meat pilgrimage continued with a spectacular feast at Corte Charcutería @cortecharcuteria and Corte Comedor @cortecomedor. These places are legendary for a reason. The rooms buzz with hungry diners—some still rolling in with suitcases in hand, clearly making this their very first stop in BA—and after one bite, you understand why. Every cut was juicy, deeply flavorful, and impossibly tender. And the charcuterie? Absolutely brilliant. The kind that makes you pause mid-bite and appreciate the craft, patience, and passion behind it. @juanfrantula Buenos Aires, you seductive city—you had me at the first glass of Malbec and the first perfectly charred slice of beef. And yes, I’ll absolutely be back for more. 🍷🥩✨ A special thanks to @cazenove_and_loyd @beckyfenn87 for arranging it all!2 weeks ago via Instagram
