1st Recipe: Flan by D.C. Artist & Chef Carmen Torruella-Quander!
Today, Hola Cultura premieres a new once-a-month series of easy-to-make recipes you can try at home. On the second Wednesday of each month, we’ll publish a new recipe from the kitchens of local LatinX chefs and home cooks.
To kick things off, we bring you this award-winning flan by a friend of Hola Cultura known for her deliciosa Dominican cooking. Carmen Torruella-Quander is a local artist who we’ve been honored to work with several times over the past few years. In fact, if you came to Hola Cultura’s summer research presentations in July 2017, you already know how good Carmen’s flan is. Now you have the recipe.
Carmen learned how to cook growing up in the District in the 1940s and 1950s in what was then a small but close-knit Latino community. Learn more about her story and find out how to make flan in this 3-minute video!
About Our Monthly Cooking Show
Hola Cultura’s monthly cooking show is part of our new YouTube series on D.C.’s thriving LatinX culture. Every Wednesday, we will have a new video featuring interviews with local artists, musicians, performers, and other cultural leaders. Once a month–on the second Wednesday–we’ll showcase a local LatinX chef or home cook.
This video was made by Paula Góngora Salazar, who also created our video on Alfombras de Aserrín (Sawdust Carpets). Subscribe to our YouTube page and receive a new video about D.C. LatinX culture every week!
