Italian chef inspired by Colombian cuisine
A New York-based Italian chef has been inspired by Colombian cuisine and wants to bring some of the nation's flavors and recipes home to his restaurants.
'Many people think Latin American food is just beans and rice, but there are so many other ingredients that can blow your mind with flavour,`` says Pablo Robaina, chef of Mambo Restaurante Nuevo Latino, 77 Clarence St. in the ByWard Market.
