Dishes include duck escabeche with white-chocolate carrot mousse, right, and grouper braised with aji, a sweet Venezuelan pepper. Desserts are made from Venezuelan chocolate or fresh fruits, left. The result: a refreshingly classical approach to the often hypertrendy world of pan-Latin dining. --By Tim Padgett
