About This Book

Where the kitchen becomes the teacher

Colombian food is already wise. Arepas, sancochos, and ajiaco aren't just recipes — they're living records of the land, the seasons, and the people who grew and cooked them. Raíces honors that intelligence without changing it.

Alongside each traditional recipe, Catalina offers an Ayurvedic lens to highlight the wholesomeness of the traditions.

This is a book about remembering. About the wisdom your grandmother carried in her hands, and the ancient science that can help you understand why her food made you feel the way it did.

"The intelligence of our heritage is not lost. Ayurveda offers a map to find it again."
