 20070802 Colombian Night
Colombian Night on Vimeo. In celebration of a ten-day trip we're taking to Colombia with our friend Paul and his family in Bogotá, we prepared 4 authentic dishes with the help of Patricia McCausland-Gallo's book Secrets of Colombian Cooking. While selecting recipes, we picked a few that require prep times of 3 hours or more, and when we asked Paul if this would take up too much of the night, he said, "You have to learn to eat like Colombians do ... late and long." Indeed, the meal took 6 hours from start to finish. A new Copy and Taste record. We leave tomorrow to taste the real thing, and what a superb feeling to know we've earned it! Check Copy and Taste for recipes. 2

N8 said... Hey Zach... just thought I'd give you guys a tip on how to make those tostones (fried green plantains) next time you venture. I've learned from watching Ilana that the first time you fry them you only do so for like 30 seconds or until they're a yellow color... then you smush them and fry them again. They're great when dipped into mayo and ketchup that have been mixed together. Have fun! 4:41 PM Michelle said... LOL- That book is by my aunt Pachi (Patricia) - She has another book coming out soon - let me know if you would like me to send you a copy. My email is violymichelleharper@hotmail.com The world is soooo small! PS- My favorite recipe is for arroz con coco titote - people really love it and its pretty easy to make 3:03 PM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
