Meet the woman bringing Peruvian sweets to Greater Sudbury

Liss-Lindsay Mendoza is a pastry chef from Peru whose business, Sweet Lind, specializes in custom dessert orders — and Peruvian sweets. 

I first noticed her sweets when I was dining at The Kouzzina in Sudbury and they were selling her alfajores, a sandwich cookie filled with dulce de leche.

To learn more about the business and how she ended up in Greater Sudbury, I spoke with Liss-Lindsay for this week’s edition of Northern Nosh.

She’s working on her spoken English, so her husband, Alvaro Otero, joined us for the conversation to help.
