I had the empanadas when I was in Colombia about 20 years ago. I loved them. Are they had to make? I saw the recipe you have.

Hola Erika, viendo tus recetas top 10 se me hizo agua la boca, vivo en Alemania, así que comprenderás todos los sentimientos encontrados, nostalgia al recordar mi tierra y su deliciosa gastronomía, así como también alegría de poder tener a la mano las recetas de platos tan deliciosos, hasta de algunos que no he probado! Muchas gracias por compartir todo este material y mis mejores deseos para un 2013 lleno de éxitos, satisfacciones, prosperidad, amor, salud y mucha creatividad:D. Un abrazo.

Hi Erica! I have been following your blog now for about a year. I've already tried a few of your recipes, and they have all been delicious! My husband is Bolivian, and while their food is a bit different (I personally prefer Colombian food, ssshhh), he really enjoys all of the Colombian meals I have made for us! Some of them are even reminiscent of Bolivian dishes. 😉 Thank you for the inspiration. Happy New Year to you and your family!

Hi I stumbled upon your blog and loved your empanada recipe. The comments were closed in that post that's why I ma writing it here. Does the pre cooked cornmeal is different from regular cornmeal? I am gluten free so want to try these.I have got masa harina flour. Can I make with that?

I spent the holidays making so many of your recipes for my father who is from Cartagena Colombia. I remember my grandmother and the cooks making so many of these recipes growing up and spending every Christmas in Colombia around the big family table. I can't thank you enough for sharing all of these recipes with me and my family. Happy New Year to you!!!
