Transfer of Culture as seen by Colombian Cuisine - Dec. 2015

Description
-
The video-portrait explores cultural adaptation and transfer of Colombian traditions as seen by cuisine. Catalina, a Colombian citizen living in London Ontario and member of the Canadian Latin American Association shares traditional dishes that are her favorite to prepare. Catalina discusses the significance of cuisine to Colombian culture and challenges she faced to keeping her traditions as she moved to London in the year 2004. Catalina expresses that Canada's families are multicultural and so is its society. The multicultural society facilitates a myriad of immigrants with different nationalities to be accepted and also allowing them to maintain their own traditions. Catalina discusses that she doesn't have trouble finding the ingredients to prepare typical dishes because of the presence of latino and asian markets. It is only the tropical and fresher ingredients like maracuya (passion fruit) that she has difficulty finding. Catalina's is happy with her lifestyle in Canada and she invites Canadians who are interested in Colombian culture to try preparing typical food or visiting local latino restaurants. Most importantly she recommends Canadians to not believe all that the television says about Colombia because it is often a generalization. She invites viewers to be open and meet Colombian people who are friendly and also like to raise their children in a good environment.
