Latin Cooking Style – Delicioso
I found this website today, and I thought it's nice, although pretty commercial driven. The hole thing is a little pretentious, but interesting never the less.
Delicioso is the website of the homonymous TV show, presented by Ingrid Hoffmann:
"Delicioso is a unique lifestyle and cooking show that draws on, and celebrates the influences that go into the creation and enjoyment of a meal in the true Latin tradition."
I've browsed the recipes and they are not exactly "true Latin traditional"; it's more a modern, gourmet, US version of them.
What I really liked was the "Ideas for entertaining" section. Great, fun ideas, like the Paint Party.
The concept is really nice: a party for the friends that come to help you when you're moving in.
Now, the recipes are a little too fancy for me (if you're moving in, your house is either empty or a real mess), but I loved the idea. I'm sure giving it a try next time I'm moving!
Another good one is "Cafe Nostalgia", a Sunday family lunch. Again, fancy recipes; although I must say they doesn't seem too complicated.
So, nice site with interesting ideas and fancy recipes. A good source of inspiration.

Excellent! I am always so glad to share these recipes and photos with people. There seems to be a real “hunger” out there for these, I get a lot of hits. I also get a lot of grateful comments from expat colombians and spouses of colombians who have been trying with no luck to make these things.. its great to find a way to help people through food.
