Spring Recipe: My Favorite Chopped Salad

Posted on December 9, 2011 3 Comments

Spring Recipe: My Favorite Chopped Salad

This is honestly my favorite salad ever.  Packed with fresh veggies, healthy, crispy, delicious.  I’ve said this many times before, if you can boil water and have the patience to chop a shitload of vegetables, you can make this salad (or a variation of it). The key? High quality vegetables.  This recipe replaces my old […]

Soup Of The Day: Roasted Pumpkin and Carrot Soup

With winter nearing an end, it’s almost time to say goodbye to beloved soup season.  Partial to the butternut squash / pumpkin variety, but feeling an overall deficiency in nutrients, adding carrot to the mix proved to be a good decision.  I’m not going to go into all the healthy properties of the carrot, because […]

Potato Leek Soup

Potato Leek Soup

The only good things about the cold season are soups and boots.  I could eat soup all day every day, and I just might.  With the lack of soup in Argentina, (beefy, heavy stews don’t count and neither do those nasty powdered packets) it’s time to bust out the food processor or immersion blenders and […]

Focaccia with Tomatoes, Onions & Fresh Herbs

Inspired by the delicious homemade focaccia I had at Caseros, I attempted my own version using just a few simple ingredients.  Extremely easy to make, in under 2 hours I had a whole tray perfectly baked warm focaccia.

It’s Brownie Pillow Sugar Cookie Time

It’s Brownie Pillow Sugar Cookie Time

What are pillow cookies might you ask?  No, it is not some kinky sex lingo that you’d find on Craiglist’s casual encounters section.  It’s a different type of raunchiness where your culinary boner will pop out uncontrollably at the sight of this decadent dessert.

Butter + Cream + Vodka = glorious combination

Butter + Cream + Vodka = glorious combination

Spring has come and it’s time put away the heavy stews, hearty soups, and starchy comfort food and have a fresh start with a more light menu.  In celebration of the new season, it seemed appropriate to make one of the richest pastas on the planet: Rigatoni A la Vodka or Rigavodka as I like […]

Raspberry Cheesecake Buenos Aires Style

Posted on September 11, 2010 3 Comments

Argies have very particular taste buds that often times defy rhyme or reason.  Some of my favorite locals have strong beliefs about food… for example, (all these should use air quotes and spoken in a very sarcastic tone) egg whites are “heavy,” a tiny bit of ground pepper is “spicy,” sushi = food poisoning.  Kilos […]

Spicy Quinoa & Lentil Salad

Spicy Quinoa & Lentil Salad

Ever since I found quinoa at one of my favorites dietéticas, I’ve been cooking it like madness.  With the inspiration of the NYTimes recipe for spicy quinoa, cucumber and tomato salad, I thought I’d try my own version.

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

For a long time I stuck by the same ole choco chip cookie recipe. The last few times I’ve made them, I wasn’t happy with the results. The cookies failed me! How hard is it to make cookies not taste good? Actually almost impossible. So I changed the bitch up. This time I was going […]
