A WINDOW TO THE FLAVORS OF COLOMBIA


A WINDOW TO THE FLAVORS OF COLOMBIA The Plan to Promote Colombia Abroad is the main tool for cultural diplomacy of the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Through activities focused on academics and literature, scenic arts, visual arts, film and audiovisuals, gastronomy and music, the Colombian State has strengthened its bilateral and multilateral relations, consolidating new ties of friendship and cooperation with a diverse range of partners. In the gastronomic focus, Colombian Embassies work with nationally and internationally renowned chefs to organize both virtual and face-to-face cooking classes and conferences, designed to show the richness of our local pantry to an international audience. Their work encompasses traditional and ancestral culinary techniques, the most recent developments in Colombian cooking, and everything in between. To fortify this approach, the series A Window to a Taste of Colombia presents the world with some of the best recipes in our national gastronomy, hoping that they can be easily replicated. The doors to the Colombian Embassies abroad are always open to everyone who seeks to learn about the cultural wealth that characterizes our country.
