\"Thanksgiving<\/a>
The cooking class in session<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My first impression of Costa Rica was how green it is. As I travelled from the capital\u00a0of San Jose to Puerto Lim\u00f3n on the west coast on the way Cahuita National Park, I\u00a0observed the different hues of green. They intensified as I travelled through the\u00a0country; by boat along the jungle on the River La Suerte heading to Tortuguero\u00a0National Park to observe the nesting of Green Sea Turtles; ziplining through the\u00a0misty cloud high in the Monteverde Cloud Forest; at the quite town of La Fortuna\u00a0nearby the Arenal Volcano; deep in the rainforest at a serene Eco lodge reserve and\u00a0while hiking through Manuel Antonio National Park. It was 2002 and the itinerary was\u00a0filled with city travel, adventure, ecotourism and local food. Fresh food and local\u00a0dishes were always on the menu. So when I was invited to attend Thanksgiving:\u00a0Costa Rican Style by Costa Rica Tourism<\/a>, I thought: “great, it is food and is Costa Rica…..but Thanksgiving?”.<\/p>\n

The cooking class was at the popular cooking school L\u2019Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda. \u00a0<\/i><\/b>Our Thanksgiving: Costa Rican style was intimate in\u00a0size, guests formed groups at prep stations and prepared the ingredients for a three\u00a0course menu under the instructions of Chef Randy Siles Aleandro. \u00a0Chef\u00a0Aleandro is guiding the efforts to promote healthy and\u00a0sustainable food by advocating the use of fresh and local produce in Costa Rican\u00a0cuisine.<\/p>\n

“Thanksgiving in Costa Rica” was a\u00a0fun evening! That is what Costa Rica\u2019s Pura Vida is about: enjoying life. \u00a0A great wa to have a “pura vida” moment\u00a0is\u00a0through good food. This one-of-the-kind event’s purpose\u00a0was to shine\u00a0the\u00a0spotlight on the sustainable cuisine of beautiful Costa Rica. The Chef shared his culinary\u00a0expertise with hungry guests on how to prepare a salad with mango, Red Snapper\u00a0with coconut water sauce. His menu included fresh ingredients and was easy to prepare, although, my\u00a0salad did not look as good as his, but I loved the taste. His belief\u00a0is that working with\u00a0the best quality ingredients delivers a healthy meal and great culinary experience. We concluded our dinner with baked plantains with brown sugar sauce as dessert. I\u00a0could not stay away from the dessert sauce. It was delicious!<\/p>\n
