I’ve been waiting for years for a book like this to come out.” –J. Kenji López-Alt, New York Times bestselling author of The Food Lab  A recipe developer and food stylist—whose work has taken her across the globe to work with clients like Michelle Obama and into the test kitchens of today’s most esteemed culinary publications—pays homage to her native country with this vibrant, visually stunning cooking, the first dedicated solely to Colombian food, featuring 100 recipes that meld the contemporary and the traditional.   To Mariana Velásquez, a native of Bogotá, the diverse mix of heritages, cultures, and regions that comprise Colombian food can be summed up in one simple concept: More is more. No matter what rung of society, Colombians feed their guests well, and leave them feeling nourished in body and soul.   In Colombiana, the award-winning recipe developer and food stylist draws on the rich culinary traditions of her native land and puts her own modern twist on dishes beloved by generations of Colombians. Here are recipes for classics such as arepas and empanadas, as well as “Colombian-ish” recipes like Lomito de Cerdo al Tamarindo y Menta (Tamarind Pork Tenderloin with Mint), Gazpacho de Papaya y Camarón Tostado (Spicy Papaya and Charred Shrimp Gazpacho), and Cuchuco de Trigo con Pollito y Limón (Lemony Bulgur Farmer’s Chicken Soup).   In addition to offering a unique perspective on Colombian food, Mariana shares the vibrant style of Colombian tablescapes and entertaining. For her, the best meals are never simply about the food on the table—they are an alchemy of atmosphere, drinks, and simple snacks and sweets that complete the experience and make it memorable.  Rich with culture and stories as well as one-of-a-kind recipes and stunning photography, Colombiana is a gastronomic excursion that reminds us of the power of food to keep tradition alive.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49507328033041,"sku":"GOR012778740","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740415500561,"sku":"NGR9780063019430","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50095650701585,"sku":"CIN0063019434VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50983159693585,"sku":"NIN9780063019430","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0063019434.jpg?v=1751163717"},{"product_id":"revel-book-mariana-velsquez-9780593836842","title":"Revel","description":"\u003cb\u003eA fresh take on the art of having people over, this modern guide to hosting offers 85 recipes across fifteen distinctive menus from the author of \u003ci\u003eColombiana.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"A fierce invitation to rethink how to host with love, generosity, and wild amplitude. \u003ci\u003eRevel\u003c\/i\u003e opened my mind to entertaining any time of day.\"-Dana Cowin, founder of Progressive Hedonist and former editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The art of entertaining starts long before your guests arrive. \u003ci\u003eRevel\u003c\/i\u003e is chef, food stylist, and housewares designer Mariana Velasquez playbook for setting up a headache-free affair.
