Rice is probably one of the only ingredients every country has in common. Everyone has their own variation of rice and every recipe is different. 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 […]
Lasagna, ironically enough, is my mothers most famous and best recipe she ever makes. You must be thinking, what does a Cuban know about lasagna, but let me tell you, I think pure blood Italians would be impressed by this recipe. That’s right I am talking about you Joe Bastianich! (For those of you who […]
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. It’s extremely convenient because it’s about two blocks away from where we live, so it’s perfect for our nights out after […]
I made abuela’s Cuban pasta the other day for the first time because I was missing home and the smells took me back to my childhood. I always find it crazy how food can take you back to certain moments in time by just it’s taste and smell. My Abuela Vivian used to make this […]
One of my family members asked me for a guava bread pudding recipe and I obviously couldn’t deny her this request. Clearly the love I have for guava has no bounds. At this point, I am pretty sure I can put it into anything. I am not going to lie, I don’t recall ever eating […]
If you are from New York, you must have tried or have at least heard of Levain Bakery and know that they have one of the best chocolate chip cookies ever! If you are not from New York, you have to try Levain Bakery next time you visit. These cookies are huge, soft and the […]
I will admit that I was never a huge fan of chocolate cake. Brownies, I can eat all day, but chocolate cake was something I never really craved until a few years ago. I remember as a child I would only eat the vanilla portion of those cakes that had both the vanilla and chocolate […]
Another week, another tapa and pan con tomate is probably the most delicious and easiest one out there to make. It’s also extremely cheap which is a plus because it is basically bread, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and a little bit of salt. Pretty much everything you can find in your house. This recipe somewhat […]
Ooo rice how I love you so. As a cuban, I don’t believe a meal is complete without rice. You can ask my wife. Sometimes I can substitute it for another carb like potatoes, but in realization it’s just not the same. Every meal needs rice! Enter, congri, aka Cuban rice and beans, a traditional […]
Ok, hear me out, these fried chicken tacos are probably one of the best tacos you will ever try! Think of southern comfort food mixed with homemade mexican food combined into one dish. I know you’ve heard of tex-mex but I think we should start a south-mex cuisine category just for this dish. The fried […]
