La Cocina de Laura

Chilean schools have a very civilized protocol--time for almuerzo. We have an hour at my school, which enables us to go to a nearby restaurant for lunch and socializing. Thanks to Laura and her team I feast on traditional Chilean culinary delights on school days. Hearty dishes such as cazuela, porotos con riendas, pastel de papa, and various types of pescado, along with lively and animated conversation, replenish my spirit. This is an ideal recipe for promoting contentment and esprit de corps among school staff. Are you listening Portland?
