How to Cook dishes from Colombia
Colombia is a South American nation.
It has borders with
Brazil,
Ecuador,
Peru, and
Venezuela, and coastlines on the
Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Some popular and well-known Colombian dishes include:
- Ajiaco - A potato soup, typically also two or more kinds of native potatoes,
chicken on the bone, and corn on the cob. It is flavored using guasca, which is a local
herb, and gives the soup a very distinctive taste. Avocado, capers, and cream are usually
mixed in just before eating, and then served over white rice.
- Arepa - This is a corn-based bread. It can be topped
with butter, cheese, chocolate, or hogao
(a sauce made from onions and tomatoes with cumin, oregano, pepper, and salt).
- Bandeja paisa - Grilled steak, fried pork rind (chicharrón), with chorizo, egg,
red beans and rice, usually served with arepa, a slice of avocado, and sweet fried plantains.
- Sancocho - A stew based on traditions in Spanish cuisine.
The Colombian recipe contains meat, cassava, plantain, potato, and other vegetables.

It is hard to find a corner of the world where celebrations are not linked to food in one way or another. Sharing a meal, cooking special dishes, and eating symbolic foods are rituals-almost inadvertent ones-that are present in all cultures and that make up the gamut of what is known as culinary specialties or ethnic food. This 224-page book is a complete tour through Colombian cuisine, illustrated with 199 exceptional color photographs by Hans Doring that enable us to appreciate the succulent appearance of each dish and of its various ingredients. Due to Colombia's geographical and cultural variety, this country has a vast culinary repertoire that is deep rooted in its history: the native Indian and the Spaniard traditions finely seasoned at times by a pinch of African and by the various influences of immigration. This book is a treasure chest of more than 133 recipes form the diverse regions of Colombia, described with just the right amount of detail to obtain a perfect meal.
