A Taste of Pura Vida

About this episode

Chef Kattia Rojas grew up with the flavors of Costa Rica, learning from the food cooked by her mother and grandmother. After starting Buen Provecho as a catering and farmers market business, she found a permanent home at El Vado in 2018, where she built a menu around the Costa Rican flavors and ingredients she knows and loves. In this episode of 5-Minute Fridays, we talk with her about the food of her childhood and the dishes she now serves at her restaurant, from casados with ropa vieja and sweet plantains to traditional Costa Rican tamales.
