The colombian recipes they are a true delight and the flavors of each of the regions that make up this beautiful homeland, are the common denominator to taste the best cuisine in the world.
It was a blessing to be born in Colombia because apart from being the best nursery in the world, the fortune of being bathed by two seas, stuck in the Andes and the Amazon, makes our biodiversity very rich and that is reflected in top quality products in our food. To give you a little taste of what we are saying, we want to show you how to make arepuelas at home and other easy Creole recipes that you can prepare to surprise your guests.
Colombian food recipes
Although the country is divided into 32 departments, it seems that the integration of dishes is only one. The most famous recipes have passed from generation to generation and in addition to suffering some variants in the ingredients according to the interpretation in each region, its delicious flavor depends on the «good hand of whoever makes it». Look at these simple recipes and feel like making them at home right now:
Seafood casserole
The gastronomy of the Pacific and Caribbean coasts are a delicacy that has no comparison. One of those delicious and very typical recipes (which some say is an aphrodisiac) is this one that includes, among others, shrimp, fish and clams; a dish that is consumed in any house and that is one of the flags of this country.
Here we show you how to make seafood casserole.
pork chops
Another one of those Colombian delicacies is this typical dish from Valle del Cauca, but which is eaten in any restaurant in the country. The mixture of the mild flavor of the pork with the irresistible crunch of the breaded is really incredible and if your palate allows it, a good lulada or a milkshake of chontaduro can be a great company for this dish.

Ajiaco Santafereño
Another of those flagship dishes of Creole gastronomy is the ajiaco. This soup, originally from Bogotá, is a perfect formula with a mild flavor and powerful spices such as guscas, a plant that gives it that touch that only rolos know how to differentiate. A fine coquettish detail of the ajiaco is that it has corn on the cob and capers… Cachacos will appreciate it.
