Last week, in the midst of the work kaos I´m currently drowning in, I decided to play it cool and spend the whole afternoon experimenting in the kitchen. One of the best ways to release stress for me is cook exactly what I´m craving (I did say “one”). And, as it happens quite often, relaxation [...]

oh… world peace is so lovely
I know, I´ve been a bad, bad blogger. I´ve been teasing you about the famous world peace cookies forever. Thing is, when I made the first batch, they were a little thin, so I was waiting for my eventual surrender to the freezed log to try them again and see if they would end up [...]

behind the apron
Those of us who write about food often forget about ourselves in the process, that´s why Christiane/Fiber from 28 cooks created Behind the apron. Basically, she encourages food bloggers to share some pictures of themselves so that readers can see who is behind all that yummy food. It is quite a scary thought to post [...]

A twist on gnocchi… or How to avoid being compared to your Italian grandma
One of the biggest traditions in my family is Sunday lunch at my grandma´s. My nonna, true to her Italian origin, always makes us some sort of pasta (with the exceptional rabbit dish, but no other deviations from the rule). She makes a killer lasagna, exceptional taggliatele, lovely canelloni… but the dish she is best [...]

tagging and weirdness
Kate tagged me for this meme of 6 weird food things about myself. It was quite hard to come up with 6 things, maybe because I don´t see any of my weirdness because they seem perfectly normal to me. I mean, I´ve got weirdness to boot in general, but I don´t know if food is [...]

Weekend in the country
Well, not technically in the country, more like in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. But sometimes it does feel like being in the country, I mean, my parents are growing their own tomatoes now, my dad has been making wine for the last couple of years, they have their own herb section in the garden [...]

calling all lurkers
In case you haven´t heard, it´s de-lurking week, which gives me the perfect excuse to ask you to come out of the shadows and into the light.
I really wish we could have more of a conversation going on. I mean, the whole point for me to blog is to talk to other food-obsessed people, exchange [...]

what to do when you are really busy
My cooking inspiration can unleash itself at any given moment, but it is especially prone to awaken at the most incovenient of times… say, when I have an urgent project to deliver and I have no time to spend half the afternoon cooking.But, since apparently I have my priorities right, yesterday afternoon I decided it [...]

my staple brownie recipe
If there´s one recipe that has brought me great joy and never steered me wrong, this would be it.It is one of the first things I baked completely on my own, without having eaten brownies before (for some reason, brownies hadn´t become popular in Argentina yet, now they are in every café´s menu). I was [...]

Well fed network awards
I don´t have time to post the brownie recipe I´ve been meaning to post today (or the falafel-humus recipe I now recall I had mentioned). But I do want to tell you to check out the Well-fed network awards since I´m sure many of your favorites are nominated and the voting closes on Jan 9th.
Just [...]
