Chef Lizardo Becerra is thrilled to bring the exciting flavours of Peru to the national capital region through Raphaël Express. Growing up in Lima, he sparked his interest in food while cooking traditional Peruvian dishes with his mother, Teresa. After receiving his diploma in culinary arts, he refined his knowledge while working at some of the world’s most renowned restaurants, including Central in Peru and Villa Crespi in Italy.

An opportunity to be the Head Chef at Peru’s Embassy in Ottawa brought Lizardo to Canada, where, for more than four years, he shared Peru’s innovative and complex culinary traditions with dignitaries from around the world. As the Chef de Cuisine at Ottawa’s Andaz Hotel, he gained appreciation for Canadian ingredients and diversity. With Raphaël Express, you can taste the passion and expertise that Lizardo brings to his contemporary Peruvian cuisine from the comfort of your home.

Lizardo has called Canada his home for nearly a decade, but would prefer that its winters were just a bit warmer. His young son Raphaël is the inspiration and motivation behind Raphaël Express.

Buen Provecho...
