Meet the woman bringing Peruvian sweets to Greater Sudbury
CBC
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.
For more information about Sweet Lind, visit their Instagram or Facebook pages.
"Northern Nosh" is a weekly feature on Up North, CBC Radio One's regional afternoon show for northern Ontario. If you know of a restaurant, bakery or farm you think would make a great story, get in touch!

P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
