One of the best parts of a multicultural society is without a doubt the food, and sharing it with friends makes it so much better! July At Milagro is bringing you a chance to pick up some delicious hot weather recipes from south of south of the border! Sign up for the Colombian Cooking class offered by our own Julieth Buri and get ready to set the table South American style!

The cuisine of Colombia is made up of delightful combinations of fresh, tropical ingredients and techniques developed in indigenous, Spanish, African, Arab and Asian kitchens throughout history. Although it features some unique and unusual offerings such as hormigas culonas and chuncullo (roasted ants and chitterlings, respectively), the dishes are just as delicious as their international counterparts while enhanced with the wonderful fruits, vegetables and legumes that thrive in the lush and colorful land of «El Dorado.»

Summer refreshments, however, make the most of fruits whether whole or juiced, and the variety available in the South American country has spawned a plethora of cool and nutritious treats. Some favorite ingredients are bananas (in several different varieties), zapote, passion fruit, guanábana, guava and noni, and the much less exotic strawberry.

Join Marketing Director Julieth this Thursday July 17 and learn how to prepare some of her own Colombian summer favorites!

There is much more JAM for you though; check out the full schedule of classes and sign up – including the exciting Fun Family Day, with free admission for children under 12!
