February 5, 2024A Colombian corner in Tunbridge Wells 🇨🇴 - One of the things on my bucket list for 2024 was to join one of @sofiacolombiankitchen meals. It was something I wanted to do for a while and that I... read more had to do before I moved away to Spain. This year I was meant to actually go to Colombia, however due to the move, I’ve had to postpone this by a year, but this meal was the dose of Colombia I needed to keep me going. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, we even got in a little bit of dancing after the lunch.
I’ve had a love for Colombia as a country ever since I was a child and actually being in Sofia’s house and trying her amazing food, felt for a moment, as if I was in Colombia (the only thing that gave away the fact that I was still in England was the very dark and gloomy sky you could see through the window). I’m so glad I got to go to one of Sofia’s meals, I got to indulge in her amazing food and meet such an amazing person! Would highly recommend and would definitely come back!
