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 […]
It feels like I’m posting just as many chorizo recipes as I have guava recipes! You can thank my wife for that one because her love for chorizo knows no bounds. You know what they say, happy wife, happy life. And when I made these choripan sliders for her, she was as happy as she […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
For our final dish for this Thanksgiving extravaganza I present to you this sweet, savory, and crunchy sweet potato mash with a plantain chip crust, baked to perfection! I ditched the same old boring marshmallow toppings for some crushed plantain chips to make this sweet potato mash. It gives it a nice little crunch and […]
I am going to tell you about the first time that I ever tasted a corn creme brulee. It was my wife’s 28th birthday and we went to a steakhouse in New York called Quality Meats (they have one in South Florida as well) and while I was grazing the menu, my eyes landed on […]
To me, stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving. I can honestly give up the whole meal, for the exception of dessert, of course and just eat a plate of stuffing. I kid you not. So, this year I am trying something different and switching it up and making chorizo stuffing. I promise you are […]
Patata bravas are one of our all-time favorite tapas! If it’s on the menu, it’s in the order when that waiter comes around, but with quarantine and all, I have had to recreate it at my own home to get that tiny taste of Spain we crave every once in a while. I was actually […]
