"What is it? I asked. She replied, " Kwaka". WHAT? Patiently, she explained to my bewildered, exhausted brain that it was an old Ecuadorean recipe of pineapple skins and Quaker oats boiled,strained, and pureed. New mothers were encouraged to drink it to rebuild strength and encourage milk production. Hesitantly, I swallowed and much to my delight, I loved it!!!! “Drink this.”, my mother-in-law said after the birth of my first child. “What is it? I asked. She replied, ” Kwaka”. WHAT?

I am from Canada and my family is from Ecuador but I have never been and now I married a true Ecuadorian from Machala and he is always hounding me to make food from Ecuador and to be honest I don't really know much. I went to school to learn Italian and Chinese food but since there are no Latin American cooking classes in Toronto I never really learned much. My family have always eaten foods from other countries. My abuelita always tried to teach me to make true Ecuadorian cusine but while she was living there wasn't much places to buy the proper ingrediants. She always made amazing foods but she would complain that it is much better back home. To me the food was to die for and now we have stores everywhere that sell Latin American foods and OMG!!! Que Fabuloso!!! Your website has given me so many new dishes to try. I am truly grateful. Thanks for bringing back so many memories of my querida abuelita with these amazing dishes that I almost forgotten! This colada de avena BTW is SOOOOOOO WONDERFUL!!!!! Just like grandma's!!!
