I would like to treat my family here to as close to a traditional American holiday meal as I can.  Does anyone know of a place that sells whole turkeys?  I have not yet been able to locate a place to get one.

Guys I don't know if this has been asked before, but I'm making it a bit of a quest to try all the best places around the city to drink ales/beers. So please comment with your favourite place so I can check it out!!

I'm trying to make a german recipe and I've been looking for Kümmel a german spice... its called carraway in english and alcaravea in spanish according to google translate... any ideas?

Anyone out there that would be willing to give me a few cookery lessons? I will provide the ingredients if you provide the knowledge!... and I'll throw in a free bottle of wine too. I can cook the basics and am a quick learner but have this burning desire to improve my culinary skills. Can you teach me?

I want to buy a few cases of wine. I'm sure some of you must be wine buffs with lots of great suggestions  of where to buy... any advise? Many thanks

Hi, I am trying to find a place that sells cacao and cacao butter particularly in the North of Bogota.  I want to make up some chocolate.  Actually I want to experiment with making various stuff as I miss the do-it-yourself attitude from the UK (so finding stuff like jam jars, bottling facilities, food flavourings, colourings and a bigger range of herbs than Carulla or Fruitiver carry).  My parents-in-law barely know how to cook for themselves outside the basic rice and meat, so they dont have any idea.  So knowledge any good cooking/variety stores would be much appreciated in the north or anywhere really.

Can someone tell me an easy to prepare yet impressively-looking dish of Colombian food I can learn to impress some visitors from back home! ;)

I'm a wine lover, and I've always wondered, in all the diversity of Colombia, has someone ever managed to grow vines and make wine?

Guys I'm a lover of different cuisines. I absolutlye adore all the different types of foods I've tried in Colombia it's amazing! Although I've been trying to find some authentic indian food like we have in London (curry craving) and had zero luck with it! Do any one out here nows any?

Hello everybody, I guess Bogota Beer Company is pretty famous; I love theirs beers. And the places that sell this beer are usually quite nice. Does anybody have an idea, whether you can visit their brewery to take a look how they do it? I think that would be fairly interesting to see.

Does anyone know where I can buy (red) food colouring for baking? also what it is called in Spanish? I'm trying to make red velvet cupcakes but I keep getting directed to the seasoning section where there is a spice called "color" but it tastes awful and makes everything yellow.

Hello everyone,  I'm looking for a a nice vegetarian or vegan restaurant in the north of bogota. Any thoughts?
