Clouds, weirdos, and sunshine

I had a funny thing going on with Seattle even before I set foot in the city. Everyone I met either online or in person seem to come from there, it was as if suddenly all the interesting people had decided to move there, notwithstanding the grayness, which I decided was not a big deal… [...]

You say potato…

Oh yeah, here we go again, it´s Daring Bakers time… you are thinking butter and sugar by the pound, right? But no, no, no, never assume we are going to do the same old thing.
This time, we are using no sugar and just a spoonful of butter, which as you know, in Daring Baker terms, [...]

Tarts are definitely one of my favorite dishes. They are just so versatile! And they marry two of my biggest food loves: doughs and veggies, oh and cheese, so that makes 3.

We won´t go down without a fight

It seems that most of us are constantly struggling against our bodies… for some reason, hips and tighs refuse to support our cooking endeavours properly, those rebelious bastards! But, not to panick, Lisa and Kelly devised a foodie event to help us all called Salad Stravaganza.

Could you ever forgive me, oh you mighty sprout?

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 [...]

a food blogger´s nightmare

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 [...]
