I’m really into stuffing random (edible) things into empanadas lately, and since chicken pot pies have always been a comfort food favorite, why not combine this flaky soul warming dish with Argentina’s favorite quick meal?
The Buenos Aires Market
There’s really nothing better on a sunny, springtime Buenos Aires day than trucking over to the Bosques de Palermo (en bici, of course), to dodge the slow walking-mate drinking pedestrians, collide with erratic bike riding children, and watch pre-teens on roller skates eat shit hard on the pavement.

This Is Why You’re Fat: August Edition
Quests for bloody Marys, a gastro-trip to the Ukraine, new closed-door restaurants, sandwiches and brunches galore, here are some food highlights (and low lights) of August eats. Oh, and a big RIP to my camera. It’s broken (probably caused by too much food inside the lens), which means I must take a food porn hiatus. […]
Smeterling: Recoleta’s Sweetest Gem
The Buenos Aires sweets scene just doesn’t really do it for me.

No one wants to read a food blog where the writer obsesses about being a calorie-counting fatty. But after a nonstop eatvacation, I’m on a health kick, trying hard to put down the pork and get my culo into shape. I’ve gotten a trainer where I’ll go from my sedentary-marroc-cerealitas munching routine to getting my ass to […]
Minestrone Soup: The Soup That Keeps On Giving
Hearty, cheap, healthy and filling, that’s why Minestrone is always my go-to soup when the weather gets cold. Super easy to make, it’s like the soup that keeps on giving: if you are running out of soupy liquid, just add more chicken stock and tomato puré, if you need more hearty goodness, chop up more […]
Salted Dulce de Leche Brownie Recipe
Sometimes I like to Sandra Lee my way around a recipe, semi-shamefully taking unMarthalike shortcuts when it comes to baking. While self-righteous cooks may get a major bitch face caradeculo at the blasphemous thought of using boxed brownie mix, here’s a way to pimp out pre-packaged brownies and play it off like it’s 100% homemade.
