This month our dinner theme was Colombian. Colombian food is best described as a blend of European, with aspects of African and indigenous cuisine.
Join me, on a photo journey of a wonderful evening together discovering the cuisine of Colombia.
Appetizers of smoked chorizo and pesto
A seafood ceviche with scallops, shrimp, avocado, red onion, cilantro, orange, radish and cilantro.
A stuffed beef roll (Carne o Posta Rellena) served with roasted sweet potatoes and cassava

A meal being enjoyed by everyone!
For dessert- Dulce de leche and coconut with additional whipped cream and caramel

We lived in Tallahassee years ago, when there was only one Chinese place that served great food. Most of what we cooked came from Publix. I missed pizza; but learned to make gumbo and fried chicken.
We used to go to Apalachicola for oysters. Lovely.
Everything looks so delightful! What a great congregation of good people and good food!

A wonderful feast indeed! I love to see people who love and enjoy food get together and share. Your cooking club sounds like so much fun. Love seeing recipes for Colombian food. It's a new cuisine to me.
All of that food looks so delicious. I would love the beef roll and sweet potatoes...and of course I'd have the dessert first!!!!
Wow what a great meal..I wish I lived closer :)
I love so much that you have this cooking club. It sounds super fun! I need to mass up the number of foodie friends that I have so that I can do something like this. I love that beef roll and the pesto is such a gorgeous green. And dulce de leche rocks my world. Seriously.
Where to begin?? I'm jealous every time you post about your cooking club. I love all the little turtles! Too cute for a table! And the food...well speechless!
This is such an amazing mini function! I missed this kind of gathering so much. I got to tell you that I'm all into the dessert...hmm.mm..

Hello Velva, I love your name! All that Columbian food looks so good. Nice blog you have here.
What an incredible feast here, everything looks superb!
I think a cooking club is a wonderful idea and with so many amazing cooks (and that leather table!) how perfect! It looks amazing. Shout out to "ginger" cooks everywhere!
Delicious, your friends are so lucky, I am drooling lol, Kathy.

Wow! I am so hungry all of a sudden...
You had me at chorizo and pesto.
Oh how I wish I was there! And beautiful place settings too! I'll have to check into cooking clubs around where I am!
Looks like a great party you have there. Delicious looking food too!
How to make a website
I've always wondered about Columbia's cuisine .. and the table setting, gorgeous and inviting, I wanted to sit right down. The vintage green bowl with white daisies caught my eye too, as I have a few of these.
Nicely done!
