Back to my books

Secrets of Colombian Cooking is a book that unveils the mystery around the foods of a nation with Pacific and Caribbean coastlines, high ranges of the Andes Mountains, a vast Amaz onian riverside and forest, beautiful cattle and farming Plain lands. The bounty of its climates, food and color is set in its recipes and traditions. It is the story of my encounter with a fare that brings memories of home and family. I traveled to towns and villages to be taught by many native cooks a nd vendors, learning and living through them. I write about our culinary legacy, carried from generation to generation along with family histories. All of this by word of mouth and in their minds, seldom written down. These recipes have been redone and wri tten for you in a detailed manner allowing the home cook to prepare them successfully. Most of them are simple a quick and can be prepared with little effort.

"Secrets of Colombian Cooking" opens a window into the lives of the everyday Colombian family. The recipes and short stories give you an insight on the authentic Colombian culinary traditions. From arepas and pandebonos, bollos and empanadas, stews and soups, hot sauces and plantain di shes, to fruit concoctions with yellow gooseberries, guavas, tamarind and more the wide range of recipes will surely fill your heart with warmth and comfort.
