simmering

Cooking in a liquid barely around the boling point.

Boil’ fish

A clear, lime-bright fish soup simmered with potatoes, onions, a touch of butter, and, occasionally, a hot pepper. It’s classic breakfast or late-night comfort food, typically served with Johnny cake or grits. Locals often call it just boil. 

Huevos chimbos

Huevos chimbos are a delicious traditional dessert from the Zulia region of Venezuela, steeped in history. It's a type of flan made primarily with egg yolks, sugar, and rum, typically served on special occasions.

Spiced poached pears

Spiced poached pears are dessert at its most graceful and low-effort. Firm pears are gently simmered in water with honey or maple, cinnamon, and a few warm spices until they turn tender, glossy, and lightly perfumed. They keep their shape but become soft enough to cut with a spoon, soaking up all the flavor of the spiced syrup as they cook.
