Four Directions Cuisine Presents: Ute Blue Corn Cake

It is our hope to preserve and share cultural knowledge across communities using food as the common thread. No recipe book is complete without dessert. Participants will learn how to prepare Chef Andrea's popular Ute blue corn cake. Utilizing coconut milk to help keep this cake tender, the class will also prepare a fruit compote to top the cake for a complete and delicious dessert worthy of sharing at the next family gathering. Meet Your Chef Instructor Hello! I'm Chef Andrea (Ahn-dreh-ah) Condes, and I'm excited to answer your questions about Indigenous foods while sharing personal and cultural stories. I've spent 23 years in the food and beverage industry — from prep cook to executive chef, and pastry cook to head pastry chef. For the past 11 years, I've focused on Indigenous cuisine across the Americas, inspired by my own desire to connect with my roots. As a transracial adoptee from Venezuela, I use traditional foodways as a bridge to my ancestors, culture and community. Food is a powerful storyteller, and I'm here to help you build confidence in your kitchen and connect through Indigenous culinary traditions.
