Fried rice is my greatest temptation. If it’s on the menu, you bet I am ordering. I especially love the fusion versions of fried rice, which is why I created this Cuban fusion kimchi fried rice. It has all the flavors of a kimchi fried rice with the addition of chicken, sweet plantains, and a […]
Chorizo a la Sidra, aka chorizo cooked in cider, is another classic spanish tapa and it is perfect for our TAPA TUESDAY menu! For those of you who have been following this blog for the past year, know that my wife LOVES chorizo, and thankfully a lot of spanish tapas have chorizo in it. So […]
Papas arrugadas, translates to wrinkled potatoes and it is another classic spanish tapa. As we continue to explore all the spanish tapas there are, I want you to know that potatoes are my weakness, which is a good thing that a lot of spanish tapas have potatoes in them. I legitimately cannot go out to […]
Since moving to New York I have broadened my horizons to trying new foods. Never in my life had I tried indian food prior to moving up here. I wouldn’t say Cuban, especially the males, are a big fan of trying foriegn cuisines. I mainly grew up eating Cuban and American food in my household. […]
The good old classic french onion soup. One of my favorite soups of all time. Homey, cheesy, and loaded with sauteed onions and bread. What is there not to love! Funny story, when my wife and I went to France for the first time, we always ordered a french onion soup at each restaurant. Now, […]

Ok, 2020 is soon to be over, but let us not forget how everyone this year was on a baking banana bread frenzy. Banana bread is good, but it’s even better with nutella and coconut, Trust me! I am not a huge fan of banana bread, but with these additional flavors, it’s to die for. […]
Yuca in my mind is what a potato is to Americans. It’s the starch of the latin people and it’s by far more delicious in my opinion. Although it’s mainly made on special occasions and especially during the holiday’s, yuca is perfect all year around. Every bite just brings back memories growing up, especially those […]
My favorite time of the year has always been the holidays because food was never lacking, family was alway around, and obviously the presents were a plus. But Noche Buena is my favorite holiday of them all because of the Lechon asado. As for those who don’t know, it’s the night before Christmas and as […]
Mojo! Mojo! Mojo! A Cuban’s blood, in my opinion is 49% mojo, 49% Cuban coffee and 2% those tiny cells that make the body “function.” But let’s be real it’s really the mojo and Cuban coffee. Mojo is the dressing used for every lechon (pork) that you have probably eaten. Made with sour oranges, spices […]
