Welcome to the first episode of our food experience series!
"How to make an Arepa con Hogao"
I've had the pleasure to start this "Aventura" with the first person I met in Vancouver, the first week I moved here, Elvia Pinilla, Colombiana, beautiful, powerful women, mum and Comedian.
Thank you so much Elvia for your time, and showing us a very yummy dish from your country, it's always a blessing spending time with you and your beautiful energy.
You can find her in Vancouver in "Risa en tu idioma" if you need a good laugh.
During my travels to Colombia, I fell in love with the country, people, food, art, music, authenticity, and humor. One dish I tried and loved was Arepa con Hogao, especially for breakfast in Bogota. Now, I'm excited to share the recipe with you.
