Inspired by the why-buy-it-if-you-can-do-it-from-scratch attitude of many food bloggers, I decided to do something I hadn´t attempted before: homemade “dulce de membrillo” (kind of like a quince spread, but presented as a bar.)
Besides being curious about making it from scratch and later using it to make a quince pie, I wanted to have a tried-and-true [...]
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´ve rarely talked about cheese here. It´s definitely NOT because I don´t like it, it´s just that it´s always there (try to find savory recipes of mine without parmessan cheese, I dare you!). And I rarely use fancy cheese, so I don´t have any excuse to stop and discuss this or that type of cheese.

When I read that Peabody was hosting this month´s Hay Hay it´s Donna Day and she had chosen cheesecake as the theme, I knew I had to participate. You see, I´ve only done a cheesecake once in my life, it turned out a bit too heavy and I promised myself I would try again with another [...]

If you had only seen [...]
As with any country with such a strong culture of immigration, Argentina´s food is a mixture of different cuisines… though the one that clearly wins the race is Italian food, followed by Spanish food. I know that for all of you, pizza is as common as burgers, but I also know that most of you [...]
Ever since I´ve started blogging, I noticed I was more aware of the food I was cooking and wanted to try new things all the time.
