Well, I haven´t been cooking all that much lately and I´m finally running out of older recipes, and I´m not even participating in the Daring Bakers challenge this month, but I couldn´t let this day go by without telling you to check out the Strawberry Mirror Cake they made this month. Yes, go ahead, I´ll [...]

Strange combo… or maybe not so much
When I think of sweet concoctions, they don´t usually include things like olive oil and rosemary. But after reading a recipe in Baking, I started reconsidering and thinking “just why the heck wouldn´t it work?”.
Well, I´m pleased to say it worked like a charm. So much so that next time I´m increasing the quantity of [...]

Another round of egocentric ranting
Well, it seems that this one will add up to the recently growing voyeuristic section of my blog (I´m hoping the use of the word will increase blog traffic exponentially, because as you know, sex sells.)

My parents smiling in the snow
It´s not big foot per se, but my father huge foot on [...]

Unleash the Paraguayan in you (chipá cheese rolls)
Chipá is a traditional bread from the north of Argentina and Paraguay. I´ve been meaning to make this for the blog for ages, but never got around to buying all that cheese. Basically, these are cheese rolls which use tapioca flour instead of regular wheat flour, which gives them a very smooth, chewy texture.
They are [...]

Catching up
Lately I´ve been doing a whole lot of cooking, but falling a bit short on the writing part of the deal. And since I must be at least 6 or 7 recipes behind right now, I´m thinking my only way out of this mess is to do a recap sort of post, you know, like [...]

Who needs a dishwasher?
Not everyone has a huge kitchen with a big sink or a dishwasher, some of us have tiny kitchens with small sinks and hate the thought of washing dishes, which is why a recipe like this is a godsend.
Basically, you cut some fruit (tangerines or mandarin oranges, in this case), remove the seeds, put it in [...]
