The tastiest, most interesting, and most beautiful dishes from the 5 years of the Buena Vista Cooking Club. It wasn’t easy to choose, because practically everything was delicious! However, there are a few dishes that particularly stand out in our memories: for example, the carrot tartar with egg according to Daniel Humm’s recipe, the Thai salad with crispy duck and mango sorbet, or the crispy suckling pig shank. Look forward to all this and much more and celebrate 5 years of the Buena Vista Cooking Club with us.

He opens his secret recipe book and shares with you the best recipes from Colombia’s restaurants, as well as his family’s traditional dishes. A personal insight not many are afforded. There are the pastries arepas and empanadas, ceviche, or the roast beef posta Cartagenera with plantain and coconut rice. And William might even reveal the “Clown Salad” to us.

How do I open an oyster, and what do I best combine it with?! Do I really have to boil the octopus for carpaccio with a cork in the water? How do I fillet the fish properly? And what’s the secret of turbot in a potato crust with champagne sauce? These are just a few of the questions we’ll explore with you in our “Fish & Seafood” course. Look forward to an exciting and interesting evening dedicated to delicacies from the sea.
