Chef Gladys
International Peruvian Chef · the heart of Inka Brasas
My love for cooking and baking began at home, beside my mom. As a little girl — barely 13 — I watched Teresa Ocampo’s recipes on television and made my very first desserts. Over the years, I discovered that the kitchen was my true passion.
To go deeper into Peru’s exquisite dishes, I trained at the D’Gallia Institute in Lima, where I learned countless techniques. Then I came to the United States and built my career as an International Chef — something I’m deeply proud of.
