In food matters, as in life, it´s easy to let go of our bias, even if they are based on previous experiences. If we don´t like something, or think we won´t like it, chances are we won´t go anywhere near it.
Thus, brussels sprouts and me were worlds apart until only very recently. You see, I [...]
You´ve all heard about the debacle that was last month´s Daring Bakers challenge, so when Helene chose the Gateau St. Honoré as the recipe for May´s challenge, I guess you could say I was a bit apprehensive… or I guess you could also say I was scared to death.
Let´s do a bit of a recipe [...]
Yes, that´s right, it´s not all about 5 de mayo in this world, and this festivity doesn´t involve any sort of hangover-inducing activities.
In Argentina, on May 25th we celebrate one of the turning points in our struggle to gain independence from Spain. The actual independence was obtained on July 9th, 1816, but what is known [...]
I´m not one to shy away from a chance to talk about myself, so when I saw an interview meme from the lovely Ilva of Lucullian delights in which she asked who wanted to play along, I volunteered. She sent me some questions about myself a week or so ago, but I´m just now sitting [...]

I actually have a couple of recipes waiting to be discussed, but seeing that I´m too lazy to translate and discuss two bread [...]
Being the procrastinator that I am, I am pretty late for this event, but I want to post my contribution anyway because this event isn´t just about cooking something fun… it´s about cancer, and unfortunately, I´ve come to know the disease since I was little. As I mentioned in my previous entry, I lost 2 [...]
Unfortunately, I didn´t get much of a chance to meet one of my grandmas. My grandmother on my mom´s side passed away when I was only 9, so we didn´t get to share that many moments together, which is a shame, because we had at least one thing in common: baking.

Lest you think the crepe mayhem destroyed my will to cook and write, I´m gonna write a quick post today with a general update on food and life.
