To guest chef 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. Colombians feed their guests well, and leave them feeling nourished in body and soul. Join Mariana, author of "Colombiana: A Rediscovery of Recipes and Rituals from the Soul of Colombia," as she teaches an entire summer menu that will leave you feeling refreshed, satisfied and inspired. We’ll start with patillazo, an iced watermelon and lime drink; it’s up to you whether to spike it with rum or not. Then, we’ll embrace the flavors of summer as we make a Grilled Corn Salad with Crispy Pork Belly and Tomatoes. And for dessert, it’s a beautiful frozen cheesecake studded with seasonal fruits. Along the way, Mariana will provide insights on plating and presentation, drawing on her years of experience as a food stylist and recipe developer. This is the class for you if you are looking for a new summer menu.
