Cooking Typical Cartagena Food

We spend the first part of our day at the beach, pool and sitting on the balcony.  So relaxing!

At 2:30 pm we catch a taxi into the Walled City for a 3:30 pm cooking class.  Since we arrive a little early we wander around the streets and happen across a small grocery store.  Yeah, we find coffee filters! They also have a small bakery in the front so we have to try some of their pastries.

The cooking class is held at Origines restaurant.  We arrive 15 min early and are greeted by Ricardo.  We are joined by a woman from the Bronx and a married couple from Dublin, Ireland.  The wife is originally from Mexico and the husband is originally from Poland.  Interesting!

Ricardo provides aprons and hairnets then escorts us to the restaurant kitchen where we're greeted by Chef Cesar.  We make a typical Cartagena meal consisting of juice, coconut rice, empanadas, arapas, pantacones, and a whole mojarra fish per person. Throughout the preparations we each participate in making every dish.  This is different than other classes we've taken, where normally the class is divided up to make different parts of the meal and is a lot of fun.  Ricardo speaks excellent English and he translates the chef's instructions for us.

Around 6 pm the best part of the class arrives: we sit down to eat.  The meal is plated and served by Ricardo and Chef Cesar. There is way too much food for me finish so I prioritize the delicious fish and nibble through perhaps half of the rest.  This is a fun experience and one we'll talk about with Charlie and Elsie for years to come.
