My son asked me to make Columbian food. I found your web site and made a delicious meal of chicken cutlets, beans, plantain and arepas with cheese. Add a fresh avocado and we were all so full and happy that this recipe will have to wait …maybe only until later tonight!! I will be making more foods from your site for sure…Thanks!

Do Colombians ever use both evaporated and condensed milk in their hot chocolate, or is that something you like to do?
