About Erica Dinho

Colombian home cook and founder of My Colombian Recipes

Erica Dinho is the creator of My Colombian Recipes, a long-running blog dedicated to traditional Colombian home cooking. She has spent years documenting regional dishes and family recipes, helping introduce Colombian cuisine to a wider audience online.

Her recipes stay close to traditional Colombian home cooking, built around staples like plantains, corn, pork, and beans, with dishes ranging from hearty soups such as ajiaco and sancocho to fried snacks like patacones and buñuelos. She favors classic techniques and familiar regional flavor combinations over reinvention, aiming to make dishes like tamales antioqueños and bandeja paisa approachable for home kitchens.
