In the last decade, Colombia has entered a new era. For a long time stifled by conflict, the country is finally picking itself up, and gradually reconnecting with its roots and traditions. Leonor Espinoza and her restaurant Leo Cocina y Cava is part of this impetus. 

The brilliant, tenacious woman chef, who is originally from Cartagena, has decided to reintroduce her country’s gastronomic riches to Columbians and their visitors. Leo travels around Colombia, from the Caribbean coast to the plateaux of the Andes, exploring, cooking and circulating produce from one region to another. She presents us with incredible fruits picked in the heart of the jungle, and ancestral recipes and techniques shared with the local communities, as well as creative dishes combining all the flavours and colours of this vibrant country.
