Finance Foodie Interviews Taranta's Jose Duarte

We recommended Taranta during restaurant week. Known for its greenness almost as much as for its food, the restaurant presents unique "Peruvian-Italian fusion" dishes. If you still haven't been there, Finance Foodie's new interview with Jose Duarte might convince you to stop on by—or go again if you've been. Duarte offers concise quips:

FF: What are the top three traits that a good chef / restaurateur should have? JD: Knowledge and flexibility, but most importantly, passion and enjoyment for what you do.

FF: Best cooking tip?
JD: Use quality ingredients. You cannot build a house without a good foundation.

A good food foundation! Awesome. Read the restaurant's blog for more information on how it goes green, try a Taranta cooking class, or sign up for a Peruvian culinary tour. Deliciousness all around.
