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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Yes, it´s that time of the month again, but there´s no pastry cream this time, I kid you not, not even puff pastry or cream puffs. Have the Daring Bakers gone completely mad, you ask, no I say, it´s just that simple was the way to go this time around, and boy are we glad [...]
Before anyone thinks I´m taking this everything-must-be-homemade trend a bit too far, I need to clarify
that there are few Indian restaurants in Buenos Aires, non particularly cheap, so I don´t have Indian food delivered to my house, and I have never tried naan bread before. So, you should be warned that the shape and size [...]
The boob bread! Yes, indeed, the people have spoken and decided that they wanted the recipe for the Hogaza Gallega. I´ve always felt that big boosoms were important in our society, and I see I´m not mistaken. Even though I resent that personally, I´m gonna go ahead and translate the recipe for you.
Now, about the [...]
I swear I haven´t completely forgotten I have a blog. It´s just that life has a way of distracting me quite often, and, to be honest, I´m lazier than I´d like to admit.
I actually have a couple of recipes waiting to be discussed, but seeing that I´m too lazy to translate and discuss two bread [...]
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.
I´m still enamoured by all things bready, which means I have yet to translate and post 2 more bread recipes (and to think I´m a translator, but translating [...]
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.
Well, [...]
If you ever wondered what´s the worst thing that could happen to a food blogger (I know you have wondered, come on, admit it), I have the answer for you: food poisoning!
That´s exactly what happened to me this week… though I´m still not sure which food was to blame or if it was a stomach [...]
