The Colombian Caribbean, that inspiring land where García Márquez found the magic for his stories, tastes like pineapple, plantain, coconut, and eggplant, a cuisine of native, Arab, Spanish, and African legacies that Gabo proudly proclaimed through the generous banquets served at the La Manga estate or in the sweet sellers’ chants announcing the coconut sweets for the crazy ones in the heated and bustling Portal de los Dulces of Cartagena de Indias.
If you haven’t read García Márquez, dare to discover him in the most delicious way through three passages extracted from Love in the Time of Cholera that we will transform into recipes. And if you’re already a fan, be amazed at how Gabo brought his fascination with our cuisine to the tables of his characters, whom he fed with the culinary delights of that Caribbean from which he never left.
