Tostadas to a Salsa Beat – A Night Out With Ingrid Hoffmann

ON a cold and wet evening, Ingrid Hoffmann, the Colombian-born star of “Simply Delicioso,” a Latin-themed cooking show on the Food Network, bounded into La Esquina, a Mexican restaurant in NoLIta.

With her curls and mood no worse for the weather, she settled into a rustic wooden table with her sister, Annelies Da Costa Gomez, and two friends. Ms. Hoffmann, 42, wore dark jeans and a purple silk top with a plunging neckline that revealed a little of what, in addition to her modern approach to traditional Latin cooking, might have helped her earn a second season of her show.

While working their way through their first bottle of a Spanish red wine, a 2004 Ribera del Duero, the women gushed over Ms. Hoffmann’s new cookbook, also titled “Simply Delicioso,” and her recent decision to make a campaign appearance with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. “I have to cook for that girl because I hear she’s eating really bad,” Ms. Hoffmann said.”*
