What defines Venezuela cooking
Venezuelan home cooking leans on a savory base of onion, garlic, and cumin, slow-simmered into stews, soups, and shredded beef dishes rather than quick sears. Corn and plantains show up as often as rice, turning up fried, grilled, or baked around a meal instead of just alongside it. Meals balance that warmth with sweetness or acidity, often a sofrito-style tomato base or a squeeze of lime, rather than spicy heat.
