DINNER FOR COLOMBIA

> Chef Manuela Arias (Pereira)

Based in Miami, Chef Manuela cooks with Colombia always close. Her tree tomato gazpacho and huerta cafetera arepita carry the resilience, generosity, and community she learned from her homeland’s cuisine. Her heart and her kitchen remain in Pereira.

> Chef Felipe Echeverry (Pereira)

Step into the extraordinary world of Chef Felipe’s barrel cooking. Chicharrón ceviche and picaña with vegetables, transformed within the smoky embrace of the barrel a one-of-a-kind culinary experience straight from Pereira.

> Chef Ricardo Torres Izquierdo (Cali)

Chef and owner of Waunana Restaurante in Cali, where Pacific and Andean flavors converge think a green plantain amasijo with cuajada cheese (an homage to aborrajado) and a banana cookie with manjar cream and citrus. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu Mexico City and honed his craft at Mugaritz, Pujol, and Astrid & Gastón. In Miami, he’s helped open Tudor House, Tongue & Cheek, and Adlib.
