About this Cook
I am a passionate cook who loves to cook for his family. Born to a Colombian couple in the year of 1984 in the month of March in a little town southwest of Bogota. Since I was a kid I loved to watch grandma cooking at her old fashion kitchen, brick ovens and stuff like that. Thru the years and when I am commencing my adolescence, I doscoverd that what I really wanted to do for living was cooking, so that's how I got into this beautiful world of food thanks to my Grandma and Mom who were my inspiration.
My favorite things to cook
Latin cuisine, specially Caribbean and South American, Cuban, Peruvian and Of course Colombian with a modern touch of Novo Andino and Latino.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thru family history, garlic, rice, beans, onions, and tomatoes can never be missed in our pantries. So we cook based on those magnificent ingredients.
My cooking triumphs
2005 Best Cuban Sandwich in town, Lancaster, PA 2004 Best International dish (Lomo Saltado) beef tenderloin sauteed with red onions, soy sauce,white wine, tomatoes and topped off with fries. A typical dish from Peru. Lancaster, PA
My cooking tragedies
When I had to cater a party of 300 people, my chicken in wich I worked 13 hours just in preparation got burned while cooking it, but later on I found a solution to the problem.
