Everything is better when cooked in garlic, and mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce are to die for! This is probably one of my favorite recipes I have created yet! The sauce is perfect to dip some toasted bread in. Top it off with delicious mussels and it is probably one of the […]
This Tapa Tuesday is inspired by one of my favorite tapa restaurants in Miami called “Bulla Gastro Bar”. We used to visit it weekly when we lived in Miami and my wife worked right next door and now that we are back in Miami, I feel like the tradition will start all over again. Their […]
When I think of bacalao (cod), it reminds me of being in my grandma’s house during lent when we couldn’t eat meat on Fridays. She would make what seemed like hundreds of cods in the oven and the smell of fish in her house would slightly drive me crazy, but the taste was delicious. So […]
Summer is in full throttle and these refreshing tapas are basically what I’ll be eating all summer long. Ceviche, when made right, is light and bursting with flavor.

But one thing is for certain, rice is absolutely delicious and extremely versatile. You can use it to make fried rice, or just delicious plain rice or you can incorporate […]
My wife and I usually go to this mom and pop Argentinian restaurant in the Upper East Side, called Libertador, for many of our date nights whenever we are craving some tasty Hispanic food.
