  • A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines
    A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Juliana Duque-Mahecha May 2017 © 2017 Juliana Duque-Mahecha A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines Juliana Duque-Mahecha, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Abstract Cooking responds to this double entendre of a past that is collected, interpreted and then projected on to a present that then overcomes it. New food trends necessarily imply questions about social and cultural equality and identity. That which is novel is exciting and refreshing; it implies learning and broadening boundaries, which are often geographical and social and always cultural. However, the process also entails the inherent challenge to define and answer what is lost and valued in a new scenario and to understand to what purpose. Some categories that have been used to understand such historical processes of cultural production in social systems are class, race, ethnicity and gender, as well as concepts associated with territory, differentiation, integration and democratization, authenticity and exoticization. My purpose in conducting an analytical approach to the development of the gastronomical and culinary subject in Colombia and of building a diagnostic map of it, responds to the wish to contribute to the understanding of the function of food research in solving specific questions of inequality, estrangement, and deracination, as well as understanding new senses of belonging and appropriation that emerge because of urban reconfigurations.

  • The Making of Mexican Molli and Alimentary Theology in the Making
    1 The Making of Mexican Molli and Alimentary Theology in the Making Doña Soledad’s recipe for mole poblano – a traditional Mexican dish – contains a total of 33 ingredients. After they have been prepared these ingredients are ground until they are a refined powder (similar to ground coffee) which can then be stored in the freezer for a long time. In fact, similar to a good red wine, the older the mole, the better is its taste. It was Doña Soledad herself, a 60-year-old mother and grandmother living in Mexico City, who taught me how to prepare this complex dish. Her son, who is a professional chef, also became my mentor in teaching me how to make this Mexican recipe. Besides learning how to make mole, I also wanted to share it with my friends in a big fiesta, or feast. We were initially planning to make it for about 20 people. However, we ended up preparing mole for 100 people, and decided to divide the ground mole into equal parts to store it and use it for future dinner parties. Doña Soledad learnt this recipe from her mother, who in turn learnt it from her mother – and this chain goes back many generations. In fact, and as we shall see in this chapter, one of the origins of this dish goes back as far as pre-Colombian times. Making this ancient recipe took us about 12 hours from buying the ingredients to the final product. After a long day’s work, we put all the prepared ingredients into a local indus- trial mill, to make a refined powder.

A word from the CEO. hen I meet over dinner with business people, I am often asked “why are Co- Wlombian people so friendly?” It’s a question that I still haven’t managed to an- swer, however it’s undeniable that the smiling faces leave a lasting impression. Call this friendliness our national speciality that, when combined with the luxury services provided by Bluedoors, creates an atmosphere like no other you’ll find in Bogotá. Since signing the peace deal, Colombia has been rapidly changing and is opening up to the world in terms of tourism and business. Over the last five years there’s been a sharp increase in the arrival in foreign companies with newcomers in- cluding Facebook and Ikea. It’s a tipping point that’s allowing the world to see a different side to the city where I was born, have raised a family and run a business. Notwithstanding, it’s understandable that guests still arrive with security con- cerns. My response to ease the anxious mind is that Bogotá is a now safe city, when the right precautions are taken into consideration.
