 9 months in South America and North America

When I was in my early 30's, I made a promise to myself : "Girl, by 35, I want you to do be in a place that you would have chosen, not imposed on by the routine ! It can be a new home, a new city, a new job, but it needs to make you happy and you need to enjoy your life !". It is only lately that I have remembered that promise... I'm now 35 and I have realised that I'm the only one responsible for my own happiness. So I have quit my comfortable job in London and decided to go on another adventure...

Ce qui est cool quand on voyage, c'est de pouvoir goûter à toutes ces saveurs nouvelles  et merveilleuses pour notre palais. Juan nous fait faire un tour de la ville de Popayan et on s'arrête à chaque curiosité culinaire pour la tester. Sa maman Luz Myrian et lui nous cuisineront également quelques plats et délices Colombiens. Juan a été chef privé du Général de l'Armée, désigné par ce dernier-même, pendant 8 mois durant son service militaire. La classe quoi !

What's cool when one travels is to have the chance to taste all these savors, new and fantastic for our palate. Juan takes us around town to sightsee and we stop at each culinary curiosity to test it. His mum, Luz Myrian, and him will also cook for us some delicious Colombian meals and desserts.  Juan was the private chef of the General of the Army, designated by himself, during 8 months of his military service. How awesome !

Une part de torta fria de la patisserie La Fontana. Ca à l'air tout simple comme ça, mais le gâteau a été trempé dans du lait ecrémé et condensé et la crème est au lait. Très léger une vraie tuerie. / A slice of Torta Fria from the bakery La Fontana. It seems simple like this but the cake was dipped in skimmed and consended milk, and the cream is made of milk. Ver light a real killer

Un riz au lait fait maison par Juan et sa maman. Un des meilleurs que j'ai mangé ! Fait avec des clous de girofles, anis et sucre de canne. / A rice milk pudding homemade by Juan and his mum. One of the best I have ever eaten. Made with ground cloves, anis and cane sugar

Non ce n'est pas du thé, mais un Agua Panella. Une boisson chaude très sucrée fait simplement d'eau et de sucre de canne. La vraie boisson locale. On y laisse fondre le fromage en petit bout pour qu'il soit fondant en le mangeant. Bizarre à premier abord mais quand on s'y fait c'est super bon. / No it's not a tea but an Aqua Panella. A very sweet hot drink simply made of water and cane sugar. One leaves the cheese in small pieces inside so that it's melted when one eats it. Might seem weird at first but when you are used to it, it's really good.

Les meilleurs empenadas que j'ai goutés ! Farcis de pomme de terre marinés, accompagnés d'une sauce piquante. Pour les goûter rendez vous au petit bouiboui La Fresa ! / The best empenadas that I have tested. Stuffed with marinated potatoes and accompanied with spicy sauce. To savour them, check out the small restaurant La Fresa !

La soupe nationale Sancocho, hyper goûtue, faite par la maman de Juan. Différentes types de pomme de terres, du yuka (racine de pomme de terre d'ici), maïs, poulet, boeuf et assaisonement. Le ventre pleint et heureux. / The national soupe Sancocho, really tasty, made by Juan's mum. Different type of potatoes, yuka (a kind of potatoes roots), corn, chicken, beef and seasoning.
