28 * When a tourist comes to Colombia from abroad, he or she usually falls in love with our food. Whether we realize it or not, Colombia is a gastronomic wonderland; we -(as a country)- have been blessed with exotic fruits, exquisite vegetables and amazing people who throughout time, have managed to concoct a beautiful assortment of foods that please every individual. We take for granted everything from lentils to manjar blanco, even our own coffee which is known as the best in the world. If it weren’t for the random fact that we sometimes crave these Colombian delicacies we wouldn’t even remember them... But it is safe to say that this country has managed to establish itself as a gastronomic heaven. Just ask any other “gringo” in Cartagena what he or she likes the most about the country and the response will probably be: “The people (specially the women), the natural landscapes and the food,” (in no particular order). One can also witness the popularity and singularity of our own cuisine during travels. Who hasn’t been to some other country and met a Colombian who is craving “bom bom bun” or mango biche? Although we have been blessed with such culinary talents and resources we don’t seem to realize the treasures we have. Normally when we think of fine dinning we look towards France, Italy, Peru, maybe even Japan if we are feeling adventurous, but we never really think about Colombia. When was the last time a Colombian Restaurant opened By: Ammiel Manevich, 12° in Granada? (Probably never). We (and I’m speaking for all Colombians) do little to rescue and applaud our own gastronomy and that’s a huge issue because unlike French who are proud of their Duck a L’Orange, Italians who are crazy about their Fettuccine Alfredo, Peruvians who adore their Ceviche and Japanese who can’t get enough of their Sushi, we rarely want a bandeja paisa. But that’s not the case with all Colombians; some people have realized our gastronomic wealth and have actually done something to preserve said wealth. An institution which has taken on the challenge to preserve and exploit our local food and produce is the Escuela Gastronomica de Occidente, or ‘EGO’ as it is locally called. Inaugurated only 6 years ago in 2005 it has already established itself as a gastronomic powerhouse. The school offers a huge array of courses and specializations, anything from basic cooking to bartending and etiquette classes. Already it has gained a reputation for educating the best chefs in the country. These chefs go out and instead of forgetting about their gastronomic background they exploit it creating new Colombian restaurants that fuse typical food with other tendencies and gastronomies. Institutions such as this one help to educate Colombian’s in the art of Cooking. Thus it motivates more and more people to pursue careers relevant to the food business. As a result the number of culinary students has exploded during the last years in Colombia and the number of new restaurants has also skyrocketed leading to a revolution of the whole industry. I guess the question to be asked is whether we are going to keep on relying on foreign food or if we are finally going to realize that we are sitting on gold- gastronomic gold that is. t*
