<div id="attachment_4220" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 625px"><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/communion-cake-tarta-comunion.html/communion-def" rel="attachment wp-att-4220"><img class="size-large wp-image-4220" title="Communion-def" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Communion-def-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cake on Sale, in Menu Malbec</p></div>
<p><strong>Life has unexpected paths, opening up before our eyes..</strong>.The proof? I was contacted by a client for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.menumalbec.com">Menu Malbec, </a>asking me <strong>if I could make a communion cake</strong>&#8230;<br />
&#8220;Well&#8221;, I thought. &#8220;It&#8217;s a cake after all..I know how to make cakes&#8221;<br />
Yes, <strong>inside it is not extremely complicated</strong>&#8230;we are not going to have sophisticated mousses, and all that stuff (and, it would be my turf if needed)<br />
No, <strong>the problem was decoration&#8230;because while it is a cake for children, the religious element makes it a special one..and the tradition!</strong> The figurine is not something I particularly liked, but it is tradition, so&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/communion-cake-tarta-comunion.html/communion-def-cu" rel="attachment wp-att-4221"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4221" title="communion-def-CU" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/communion-def-CU-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a></p>
<p>I loved it after all&#8230;<strong>My girls loved it !! They said (with a certain reproach) that they hadn&#8217;t had something as beautiful for their communions</strong>&#8230;It&#8217;s true! I had bought the cake from a pastry shop in Buenos Aires, where they had made the classical white meringue cake, with the little figurine, and that was all! <strong>Those were the times of &#8220;mummy, the teacher&#8221;..nobody would ever have dreamt of &#8220;mummy, the cook&#8221;&#8230;</strong><br />
<strong> Yes, life can take unexpected turns&#8230;for good..yummy!</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Una Torta de Comunion</span></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_4220" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 625px"><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/communion-cake-tarta-comunion.html/communion-def" rel="attachment wp-att-4220"><img class="size-large wp-image-4220" title="Communion-def" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Communion-def-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cake on Sale, in Menu Malbec</p></div>
<p>La vida nos lleva por caminos que no esperabamos&#8230;La prueba? Hace unos dias, un cliente de mi <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.menumalbec.com">Menu Malbec, </a>me pregunto si podia hacer<strong> una torta de Primera Comunion</strong>&#8230;..</p>
<p>&#8220;Bueno&#8221;, pensé&#8230;&#8221;Tortas sé hacer&#8230;&#8221; Ademas <strong>adentro no son extremadamente complicadas</strong>&#8230;no llevan las mousses sofisticadas, y si asi lo fuese, bueno&#8230;.podriamos decir que &#8220;es lo mio&#8221; No, <strong>el problema era la decoracion&#8230;para una nena, pero con el elemento religioso presente, y ademas la tradicion!</strong> La famosa muñequita (que no es mi favorita) pero es verdad, la gente la espera ver&#8230; es como un simbolo !</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/communion-cake-tarta-comunion.html/communion-def-cu" rel="attachment wp-att-4221"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4221" title="communion-def-CU" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/communion-def-CU-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a></p>
<p>Gran discusion gran, entre mis chicas y yo! <strong>Al final, a todas nos encanto la torta, hasta la muñequita!!</strong> Eso si, mis hijas me dijeron (y hubo un cierto tono de reproche) que<strong> ellas no habian tenido algo tan lindo para sus</strong> <strong>comuniones.</strong>.Y es verdad, en Buenos Aires, habia comprado en la confiteria la torta de comunion clasica: cubierta de merengue italiano, un cartelito &#8220;Feliz Comunion&#8221; y ya esta!</p>
<p><strong>Esos eran los tiempos de &#8220;mamà, la profesora&#8221; que corria de un colegio a otro&#8230;.Ni tiempo de ponerme a cocinar&#8230;! Nadie hubiese soñado en ese momento con &#8220;mama, la cocinera&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Y si&#8230;.la vida puede tomar rumbos inesperados&#8230;.por suerte!  Mmmm, qué rica que està!</p>

<p><a title="endives-1 by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6981592954/"><img class="wp-image-4203" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8152/6981592954_82cecf634c_b.jpg" alt="endives-1" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>It was the school Spring break here in Paris, so for a &#8220;change of scenery&#8221;, we decided to<strong> go to London with the girls</strong>. We rented a charming little flat, in Chelsea, thanks to my friend<strong> Erica, who runs <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.haveninparis.com/">Haven in Paris.</a></strong>&#8230;and we felt &#8220;Oh so English, my dear! going to<strong> buy our groceries in Marks and Spencer!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/london-i-caramelized-endives-with-stilton-cheese-with-apricots.html/london-1" rel="attachment wp-att-4135"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4135" title="london-1" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-1-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a></p>
<p>I must admit that when I approached the cheese section, I wondered: &#8220;What do the English have to offer me here&#8221;? And mind you&#8230;! Not an air of superiority in this (assuming I could feel superior because I&#8217;m a french cheese &#8220;frequent eater&#8221;..On the contrary!! I had been <strong>humbled by the excellent quality of English meat.</strong>.and this, <strong>to my Argentinean heart, was a heavy blow to bear</strong>&#8230;<br />
<strong>Stilton cheese I knew&#8230;but wait..with apricots?</strong>!? and there yes, my soft spot..You know that out of all fruits on this Earth,  <strong>apricots are my favorite</strong>..My kingdom for some sweet apricots!! (well, in fact Shakespeare has already said this..but it was <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/horse-horse">&#8221; for a horse</a>&#8221; not for an apricot&#8230;)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/london-i-caramelized-endives-with-stilton-cheese-with-apricots.html/abricots" rel="attachment wp-att-4140"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4140" title="Abricots" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Abricots-869x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="724" /></a></p>
<p>Just last year, I submitted you to <strong>my apricot saga</strong>: <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2011/06/my-apricot-saga-part-i-apricot-amandine.html">Apricot Amandine Tart,</a> <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2011/06/apricot-chutney-for-cheese-coursemy.html">Apricot Chutney</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2011/06/morceaux-exquis-exquisite-bits-bites.html">Shrimp/Apricot Forks&#8230;.</a><br />
I&#8217;m reminding you of this because, as <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirtha_Legrand">Mirtha Legrand</a></strong> (the most famous Argentinean TV presentator) <strong>says:</strong> &#8220;The public always changes&#8221;, so there might be new readers for my blog&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="stilton-cheese by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/7127677255/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7275/7127677255_12a704aa0e_b.jpg" alt="stilton-cheese" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>So <strong>this tasty Stilton paired with some endives, some pecan nuts: sweet, bitter, crunchy&#8230;.a perfect &#8220;tapa&#8221;</strong> ( Yes, I decided last minute to give this treat a Spanish twist)</p>

<p>Would you believe me if I told you<strong> I bought an excellent Argentinean Chardonnay, from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.catenawines.com/">Catena Zapata</a></strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.catenawines.com/">,</a> at Marks &amp; Spencer too? That&#8217;s the good thing of globalization&#8230;.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #339966;">Londres (I) Endivias Caramelizadas con Queso Stilton al Damasco !</span></strong></p>
<p><a title="endives-1 by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6981592954/"><img class="wp-image-4203" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8152/6981592954_82cecf634c_b.jpg" alt="endives-1" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Hace pocos dias, tuvimos el receso de primavera en las escuelas parisinas, asi que <strong>&#8220;para cambiar de ambiente&#8221;, decidimos ir a Londres en familia</strong>. Alquilamos un pequeño <strong>departamentito, muy &#8220;cozy&#8221;, en Chelsea,</strong> gracias a mi amiga Erica, de <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.haveninparis.com/">Haven In Paris</a></strong>&#8230;y nos sentimos &#8220;tan ingleses my dear!&#8221;<strong> yendo a comprar leche y manteca a Marks &amp; Spencer!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/london-i-caramelized-endives-with-stilton-cheese-with-apricots.html/london-1" rel="attachment wp-att-4135"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4135" title="london-1" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-1-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a></p>
<p>Debo admitir que cuando me acerqué a<strong> la seccion quesos, pensé: &#8220;Qué tendran los ingleses para ofrecer en este ramo?&#8221;</strong> Y ojo, ni el mas minimo aire de superioridad en esto..(asumiendo que me pudiese sentir &#8220;superior&#8221; por ser una &#8220;consumidora frequente&#8221; de quesos franceses..Al contrario, mi orgullo ya venia mal herido&#8230; al comer carne inglesa y constatar que era buenisima! <strong>Ah, qué daga para mi corazon argentino.</strong>.!)  Queso Stilton&#8230;ya conocia, pero con damascos?!? Mi punto débil&#8230;De todas las frutas,<strong> los damascos son mis favoritos&#8230;Mi reino por un damasco!!!!</strong> (bueno, en realidad, esto ya lo dijo <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.euribor.com.es/2010/10/18/mi-reino-por-un-caballo/">Shakespeare y era por &#8220;un caballo&#8221;)</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/london-i-caramelized-endives-with-stilton-cheese-with-apricots.html/abricots" rel="attachment wp-att-4140"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4140" title="Abricots" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Abricots-869x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="724" /></a></p>
<p>Justo para esta fecha, <strong>el año pasado ya los torturé con mi &#8220;saga de damascos&#8221;</strong>: <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2011/06/my-apricot-saga-part-i-apricot-amandine.html">Tarta Amandine de Damasco</a>, <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2011/06/apricot-chutney-for-cheese-coursemy.html">Chutney de Damascos</a>, y <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2011/06/morceaux-exquis-exquisite-bits-bites.html">Pinchos de Camarones y Damascos</a>&#8230; Pero lo repito, porque como dice <a rel="nofollow" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirtha_Legrand">Mirtha Legrand </a>(la presentadora mas famosa de la TV Argentina) &#8220;el publico siempre se renueva..&#8221;, asi que va para mis nuevos lectores del blog&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="stilton-cheese by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/7127677255/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7275/7127677255_12a704aa0e_b.jpg" alt="stilton-cheese" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Asi que e<strong>ste sabroso Stilton se mezcla con las endivias, nueces de pecan y jamon serrano: dulce, amargo, salado, crocante&#8230;la tapa perfecta!</strong> (si es como que a ultimo momento, lo que era archi-inglés se volvio español)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/london-i-caramelized-endives-with-stilton-cheese-with-apricots.html/london-2" rel="attachment wp-att-4136"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4136" title="london-2" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-2-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="408" /></a></p>
<p>Me creerian si les dijese que en Marks &amp; Spencer <strong>encontré una botella de Chardonnay, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.catenawines.com/es/index.html">Catena Zapata</a>??</strong> Bueno, algo bueno la globalizacion tiene&#8230;.</p>
<div id="attachment_4137" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 625px"><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/05/london-i-caramelized-endives-with-stilton-cheese-with-apricots.html/london-3" rel="attachment wp-att-4137"><img class="size-large wp-image-4137" title="london-3" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/london-3-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="408" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">All London photos taken by me from London Eye</p></div>

<p>For these <strong>Caramelized Endives, with Stilton Cheese,</strong> you will need:</p>
<p>*endives *stilton cheese with apricots *bread crumbs *cream *butter *sugar *thym *serrano ham (this time I&#8217;m giving you ingredients..it&#8217;s easy to adapt them according to the quantity you want)</p>
<p>Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a skillet. Add 1tbsp of sugar. Cut the endives in halves, removing bottom stem. Place them on the skillet flat part down. Let stay until caramelized and golden. Remove. Line a tray with parchment paper. Place the endives on it, caramelized face up. In a bowl, combine the cheese, cut in pieces, some bread crumbs, and some chopped pecan nuts.  Add cream to form a paste. Season with salt, pepper &amp; thyme. Put some of this paste on each endive. Some serrano ham on top. Oven (200°C) 10/15&#8242; till cheese grilled &amp; endives tender.</p>
<p>(Recipe adapted from Ottolenghi&#8217;s)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Para estas<strong> Endivias Caramelizadas con Queso Stilton con Damascos</strong>, se necesita:</p>
<p>*endivias *queso Stilton (si no se consigue, podria ser cualquier queso a gusto y se puede agregar unos trocitos de damascos disecados) *migas de pan o pan rallado *crema *azucar *manteca *tomillo *sal y pimienta (esta vez la receta es &#8220;a ojo&#8221; . A adaptar segun cantidad y gusto.</p>
<p>Cortar las endivias por la mitad, a lo largo, sacando la base dura. En una sarten, derretir 2 cdas sop de manteca. Luego agregar 1 cda sop de azucar. Poner las endivias parte chata boca abajo y cocinar hasta que se caramelicen. (si hacen muchas endivias, agregar mas manteca y azucar) Cubrir una fuente de horno con papel antiadherente. Acomodar las endivias, parte chata arriba. En un bowl, mezclar el queso cortado en pedacitos, con la miga de pan y las nueces pecan picaditas. Agregar crema hasta que se forme como una pastita. Condimentar a gusto con sal, pimienta y tomillo. Acomodar sobre las endivias. Poner tiritas de jamon encima. Hornear 200°C por 10/15&#8242; hasta que las endivias esten tiernas y el queso fundido!</p>

<div class="customImage">For this<strong> Broccoli Flan, in Bagna Cauda sauce</strong>, you will need:</div>
<div class="customImage"></div>
<div class="customImage">*onions, 1 *olive oil, 2 tbsp *broccoli flowers (I used a mix of broccoli, romanesco &amp; cauliflower, frozen ), 600gr *cream cheese, 200gr *grated parmesan, 2tbsp *eggs, 3 *salt, pepper, nutmeg, to taste.</div>
<div class="customImage">Cook the broccoli in salted boiling water for 6&#8242;. Check. They should be tender but not too soft!. Refresh in cold water. Set aside some small flowers for decoration. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, and sauté the chopped onion. Sauté the broccoli a 1/2&#8242; and then put everything in a mixer with the cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix till you get a cream. Pour the mixture in little flan molds (previously buttered) , or in a pâtisserie ring mold covered with aluminum foil (buttered) Bake in a Bain Marie (180°C) for 25/30&#8242;.</div>
<div class="customImage">Unmold and serve with the bagna cauda sauce. Decorate with some little broccoli flowers.</div>

<div class="customImage"></div>

Cook in low heat for some 2/3&#8242; together with the anchovies, till they become like a paste. Add in the cream. Cook 2/3&#8242; more.

<div class="customImage">Adapted from recipe by<strong> Dolli Irigoyen.</strong></div>
<div class="customImage"></div>
<div class="customImage">Para este <strong>Flan de Brocoli, en Salsa Bagna Cauda</strong>, van a necesitar:</div>

<div class="customImage">Cocinar los broccoli en una ollita con agua hirviendo salada 6&#8242;. Chequear el punto de coccion. Deben estar tiernos pero no babosos! Colar. Refrescar con agua fria. Reservar algunos para la decoracion. Saltear la cebolla picada en el aceite de oliva. Agregar los broccoli. Cocinar 1/2&#8242; mas. Pasar todo a una procesadora, junto con el queso cream, los huevos y condimentar. Procesar. Chequear el condimento. Verter en flaneras, previamente enmantecadas. Sino, también se pueden usar moldes de pâtisserie, haciéndoles una base con aluminio (enmantecar) Hornear a Baño Maria (180°C) 25/30&#8242;. Desmoldar. Servir junto a la salsa Bagna Cauda. Decorar.</div>

<p>When the good weather comes, we feel more prone to<strong> easy family dishes</strong>, to be able to enjoy the sunlight with our kids or friends or simply strolling our way in the city!</p>
<p><a title="revol-chicken-CU by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/7045802319/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7101/7045802319_c803d0ba8b_b.jpg" alt="revol-chicken-CU" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>This is why I chose this chicken dish. I have already told you here <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/03/revol-fish-or-vegetable-tagines.html">how Revol came into my life</a>&#8230;into our life, because as you see these lovely dishes do not stay in the kitchen..<strong>they come out of the confinement of our kitchen to meet the family table and become &#8220;protagonists&#8221; of our lunches, or family reunions&#8230;</strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 1034px"><a title="revol-chicken-mesa-fade by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/7047818555/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7053/7047818555_109bd3185b_b.jpg" alt="revol-chicken-mesa-fade" width="1024" height="680" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My flower pot?

<p><strong>Spring is the time of fresh herbs&#8230;.explosion of flavors: persil, tarragon, chervil, basil leaves&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/04/cooking-with-revol-chicken-with-spring-herbs-recipe-receta-pollo-hierbas.html/revol-panier" rel="attachment wp-att-3949"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3949" title="revol-panier" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/revol-panier-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a></p>
<p>The<strong> cooking method is simple</strong>: we sear the chicken pieces on the stovetop, <strong>in an stove/ovenproof dish like this one</strong>&#8230;and once colored, we will finish cooking in the same dish, in the oven, with the <strong>addition of white wine and cream..Result? A succulent dish, a family favorite!</strong></p>

<p>Por eso elegi este plato con pollo, que le gusta a todo el mundo y ademas, re-facil! Ya les conté como <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/03/revol-fish-or-vegetable-tagines.html">Revol llego a mi vida&#8230;a nuestra vida! </a> porque <strong>esta vajilla no se queda enclaustrada en la cocina, sino que sale de ella, para protagonizar nuestros almuerzos, a reuniones de amigos o familia. </strong></p>

<p>El método de<strong> coccion es simple</strong>: Salteamos las prezas de pollo hasta que tomen color, y luego, en el mismo plato, al horno! Solo no&#8230;antes <strong>desglaceamos con vino blanco,</strong> y luego van <strong>la crema y las hierbas</strong>..Resultado: <strong>suculento, para disfrutar en familia, prohibido no tener pancito para mojar en la salsa! </strong></p>

<p>When the good weather returns, Paris seems more beautiful than ever! but&#8230;those that live here know very well, that good weather never lasts too long&#8230;.so we try to profit from every minute of sunshine&#8230;Making a break in my daily work routine, I go to Avenue Foch, to walk my dog&#8230;or my dog walks me..who knows?</p>

<p>I have already showed you<a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2010/05/dulce-de-leche-ice-cream-like-in-buenos.html"> <strong>how to make dulce de leche icecream</strong></a>, so today is the turn of another <strong>Argentinean classic: Banana Split!!</strong></p>

<p><strong>What is Banana Split?</strong> you might wonder&#8230;.</p>

<p>Is it good?

Los mediodias, hago una pausa en mi rutina de trabajo, y ahi saco a pasear a mi perro, por la Avenida Foch (o es él que me pasea a mi?)</p>

<p><strong>To make this Banana Split Icecream, you will need:</strong></p>
<p>*bananas (medium size),4 *yolks, 5 *sugar, 150gr *whole milk, 250ml *heavy cream, 250ml *lemon juice, a teaspoon *rhum, 1tsp *chocolate chips and dulce de leche, to taste</p>
<p>Heat the cream &amp; milk in a saucepan. Whisk the yolks &amp; sugar till they whiten. Fold in half of the cream/milk mixture so that the yolks/sugar rise mildly their temperature. Put the whole of this mixture, back in the saucepan with the rest of the cream/milk. Always stirring, cook until the mixture coast the spoon. Do not take this to a boil! It should not reach over 80°C. Let cool. Use a food processor to turn bananas into a purée. Add some lemon juice to prevent blackening ( but not too much otherwise it will taste a lemon) Fold this into the cream/yolk mixture, once cool. Rhum is optional but I recommend it if we think that alcohol helps to prevent crystallization. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Put it in your icecream maker. Use as instructed. Before the icecream is ready, fold in the chocolate chips (you can chop them very fine or not, according to your taste) and spoonfuls of dulce de leche (according to your taste) The dulce de leche I used here is the &#8220;pastelero&#8221; (special for pastry) thicker in density. If not, use the normal one.</p>
<p>Para hacer<strong> este Helado de Banana Split, van a necesitar:</strong></p>
<p>*bananas medianas, 4 *yemas, 5 *azucar, 150gr *leche entera, 250ml *crema entera, 250ml *jugo de limon, un chorrito *rhum, 1 cuch sopera *chips de chocolate y dulce de leche, a gusto</p>
<p>Poner la crema y la leche en una cacerola, y calentar, casi hasta ebullicion. En un bowl, batir las yemas y el azucar hasta que blanqueen. Pasar al bowl, la mitad de la mezcla crema/leche, para que las yemas tomen temperatura. Luego pasar este mezcla a la cacerola que quedo con la mitad de la crema/leche. Calentar revolviendo siempre hasta que la cuchara napee. NO llevar a ebullicion. La temperatura no debe superar los 80°C . Dejar enfriar.Mixear las bananas a ultimo momento (para evitar que se pongan negras) Igual agregarles un chorrito de limon por las dudas (pero no mucho, sino después el helado sabe a limon) Mezclar esto con la mezcla anterior (que no es nada mas y nada menos que una crema inglesa) Agregar el rhum (si bien es opcional, lo recomendio ya que el alcohol evita la cristalizacion) Refrigerar por los menos 6 horas. Turbinar en heladora, siguiente instrucciones. Cuando el helado esta casi hecho, agregar los chips de chocolate y el dulce de leche. Aqui yo usé el &#8220;pastelero&#8221; ya que tiene consistencia mas firme (sino se puede usar el otro igual)</p>

<p><a title="revol-tajine2 by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6984599631/"><img class="wp-image-3828" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7189/6984599631_528f3a6c92_b.jpg" alt="revol-tajine2" width="695" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>The day we decide to write a food-blog, we realise that, for each post, we will have to<strong> make two major choices: what? and Where?</strong> Will it be savory..sweet..a soup, icecream, comfort food&#8230;?<br />
And once we have solved that question, the second one comes: <strong>where will we present our dish&#8230;in the same dish we have used for cooking..or in a special dish for presentation?</strong> And we start buying..collecting items (more than a normal person would ever use in a lifetime!), and we have our favorites! Those dishes we love because they are great for cooking..AND taking our food to the table, those that are so well designed that seem to be the perfect jewelry box for our precious &#8220;gems&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Just like that, <strong>checking what the French market had to offer, I started using <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.revol-porcelaine.fr/index.php?id=revolen">Revol</a></strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.revol-porcelaine.fr/index.php?id=revolen">.</a>.without thinking of the brand in itself..<strong>just looking for porcelain that would be great to cook with, and would look</strong> <strong>great</strong>..The proof of what I say? My old posts<a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2009/12/la-sates.html"> here</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Dv2ICutNA50/TPupYJeZ3kI/AAAAAAAABZs/tdPfbd0eNwg/s1600/Glace-wh%253AmarronsChoco.jpg">here</a>, or <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2010/07/beef-fillet-persil-arugula-or-friends.html">here</a>&#8230;.<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/5669066096/">here</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://menumalbec.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/malbec-wrap-vitel.jpg">here</a> or<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/5654515244/"> here</a> too!</p>
<p><a title="revol-tagine1 by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6984072465/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7210/6984072465_1ccbcb31c2_b.jpg" alt="revol-tagine1" width="740" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What I didn&#8217;t know</strong>&#8230;and this is where blogging becomes a world full of surprises,<strong> was that Revol was looking at me too! Yes, Revol, the quintessence of French culinary porcelain!</strong> <strong style="line-height: 21px;">A family-owned</strong><strong><span style="line-height: 21px;"> compa</span>ny since 1789! French savoir-faire to the service of the professional cook AND the family kitchen!</strong> Looking for new horizons, the company is<strong> expanding their business to the USA and the rest of</strong> <strong>America</strong>, and I was contacted to see if I wanted to be part of this venture&#8230;<strong>cooking with the brand that I had adopted before they adopted me!</strong></p>
<p>My answer was &#8220;yes&#8221; because <strong>it was a genuine partnership!</strong> Because I thought <strong>Revol was good quality and excellent design before I could ever dream of being their recipe developer and photographer</strong>! A natural thing&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="revol-tajine-veg by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6987664359/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7039/6987664359_2897792432_b.jpg" alt="revol-tajine-veg" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Just like a girl with lots of new toys to play with (and probably happier) I decided to share with you my first recipe..in this gorgeous tagine dish! The recipe today will be a fish tagine&#8230;as an alternative to the traditional lamb tagine&#8230;but the dish can be used for a vegetable one..or whatever you want! It is true that a tagine dish immediately transports us to Morocco, a world of spices&#8230;mysterious Eastern culture! but the same dish can be used for whatever requires long hours in a warm oven&#8230;braised meats, vegetables &#8220;confit&#8221;, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>And then, the<strong> magic trick</strong> ! Capturing our &#8220;audience&#8221; in awe, when we<strong> lift the lid, and &#8220;voilà&#8221; smoky vapour unveils a cloud of scents</strong>&#8230;Cooking has also a part of theatrical drama!</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>El dia que decidimos comenzar a escribir un blog de cocina, nos damos cuenta que, para cada entrada, debemos hacer dos elecciones mayores: el que? y el donde? Sera salado, dulce..una sopa, helado, comida de todos los dias&#8230;? Una vez resuelto esto, viene la segunda cuestion: donde vamos a presentar nuestra comida..en el mismo plato donde lo cocinamos&#8230;o un plato especial de presentacion? Y ahi empezamos a comprar&#8230;coleccionar cosas (muchas mas de las que un ser humano normal tendria en toda su vida!), y tenemos nuestros favoritos! Esos platos que amamos porque son buenisimos para cocinar Y llevar nuestra comida a la mesa&#8230;aquellos que ademas estan tan bien diseñados que parecen ser una cajita perfecta para nuestras &#8220;joyas&#8221;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Asi, viendo lo que el maercado francés me ofrecia, <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.revol-porcelaine.fr/index.php?id=revolen">empecé a usar Revol.</a></strong>&#8230;sin pensar en la marca&#8230;solo buscando cosas lindas y buenas en porcelana culinaria&#8230;La prueba de lo que digo? Todas estas entradas ya viejas de mi blog y de Menu Malbec <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2009/12/la-sates.html">aca</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Dv2ICutNA50/TPupYJeZ3kI/AAAAAAAABZs/tdPfbd0eNwg/s1600/Glace-wh%253AmarronsChoco.jpg">aca</a>,<a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2010/07/beef-fillet-persil-arugula-or-friends.html">aca</a>,<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/5669066096/"> aca</a>,<a rel="nofollow" href="http://menumalbec.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/malbec-wrap-vitel.jpg"> aca</a> y <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/5654515244/">aqui también</a>!</p>
<p><a title="revol-tagine1 by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6984072465/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7210/6984072465_1ccbcb31c2_b.jpg" alt="revol-tagine1" width="740" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Lo que <strong>no sabia..</strong>.y esto confirma que escribir un blog trae muchas sorpresas, <strong>es que Revol me estaba mirando a mi también! Si, Revol, la quintesencia de la porcelana culinaria francesa!</strong> Una empresa familiar desde 1789! <strong>El savoir-faire francés puesto al servicio de los chefs profesionales y de la cocina familiar</strong>! Buscando nuevos horizontes, la empresa expandio su negocio en los Estados Unidos y el resto de America, y me contactaron para ver si yo queria ser parte de esta aventura&#8230;cocinando con la marca que yo habia adoptado antes de que ellos me adoptaran a mi!</p>
<p>Mi respuesta fue &#8220;Si&#8221; porque era una asociacion genuina! <strong>Yo habia sucumbido ante el excelente diseño y calidad de Revol antes de soñar que algun dia podria ser su desarrolladora de recetas y fotografa!</strong></p>
<p>Fue algo natural&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="revol-tajine-veg by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6987664359/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7039/6987664359_2897792432_b.jpg" alt="revol-tajine-veg" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Como una nena con un monton de juguetes nuevos para jugar (y probablemente mas feliz), decidi compartir con ustedes <strong>mi primera receta&#8230;en este lindisimo plato de tagine</strong>. La receta de hoy sera <strong>una tagine de pescado..como una alternativa a la tradicional tagine de cordero&#8230;pero el plato se puede usar para hacer una vegetariana..o lo que quieran! Es verdad que la tagine nos transporta inmediatamente a Marruecos?</strong> a un mundo de especies&#8230;y una cultura misteriosa! pero <strong>el mismo plato se puede usar para todo lo que requiere una coccion lenta y a fuego suave&#8230;carnes braseadas, verduras &#8220;confit&#8221;, etc.</strong>..</p>
<p>Y después el truco de magia! Sorprender a la audiencia, cuando levantamos la tapa, y sale el vaporcito desplegando las mas perfumadas esencias&#8230;.Si, cocinar tiene también su parte teatral!</p>
<p>Que lo disfruten!</p>

<div class="customImage"><span id="more-3776"></span></div>
<p>To make this <strong>Fish Tagine</strong>, you will need:</p>
<p>(serves 4)</p>
<p>*fillets  of a white firm type of fish (tilapia, or other) 4/6 *medium onions, chopped finely, 2 *tomatoes, 3 *potatoes (firm, medium size), 5 *preserved lemon, 1/2 *fish stock (in powder), 1tbsp *saffron threads, one pinch *olive oil, 5tbsp *sugar, one pinch *salt &amp; pepper, to taste</p>
<p>Peel the tomatoes, making a small cross with a knife on the bottom, and dipping them for a minute in boiling water. Refresh in cold water. Skin them using a knife. Seed them.Slice them in small cubes. Peel the potatoes and cut them in not so slim slices. Chop finely the preserved lemon. Pre-warm your oven 180°C. Use your tagine dish to sauté the onions in the olive oil (on the stove) medium heat. Then add the tomatoes and the lemon. Then add the potatoes,cover with the fish stock previously dissolved in 300ml of water (and where you have stirred in the saffron threads too). Season with the sugar, salt &amp; pepper. Cook for 15&#8242;. Then arrange the fish fillet in the same dish. Cover with lid and take it to the oven for 20&#8242;.</p>
<p>Para <strong>hacer esta tagine de pescado</strong>, se necesitan:</p>
<p>*filetes de un pescado blanco firme, 4/6 (segun tamaño) *cebollas medianas, finamente picadas, 2 *tomates, 3 *papas (medianas, de textura firme), 5 *limon &#8220;confit&#8221; (buscar en epicerias marroquies), 1/2 *caldo de pescado (en polvo), 1 cuch sop *hilos de azafran, una pizca *azucar, una pizca *sal y pimienta a gusto.</p>
<p>Pelar los tomates, haciendo una cruz con un cuchillito, en el extremo de abajo,y luego sumergiéndolos en agua hirviendo, no mas de un minuto. Refrescar en agua fria y pelar y sacar las semillas. Cortarlos en cubitos. Pelar las papas en rondajas no demasiado finas. Picar fino el limon.Usar el plato de tagine o uno que sirva para cocina y horno, para saltear las cebollas en el aceite (no muy caliente-temperatura media) La idea es ablandarlas, no dorar! Agregar los tomates, cubrir con el caldo previamente disuelto en 300ml da agua, y donde pusimos las hebras de azafran también. Condiementar con el azucar, sal y pimienta a gusto. Cocinar 15&#8242;. Luego pasar a horno (180°C) y cocinar tapado por 20&#8242; mas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #cb1f56;">Abajo, en Español</span></strong></p>
<p><a title="baba-gral by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6972228605/"><img class="wp-image-3768" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6972228605_8ac3941e5d_b.jpg" alt="baba-gral" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>I must confess: &#8220;<strong>I never liked French babas too much&#8221;</strong>&#8230;.Maybe because there was <strong>too much rhum</strong> in them..or maybe because it<strong> was a dessert that I connected with &#8220;granny&#8217;s choice&#8221;</strong>!</p>
<p><a title="baba-fruits by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6826099018/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7181/6826099018_dd303b6986_b.jpg" alt="baba-fruits" width="884" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>But during my<strong> recent stay in Buenos Aires,</strong> I happened to go to <strong>the hair salon, to have my toe and hand nails polished</strong> (luxury I can afford more frequently over there&#8230;since in Paris beautiful nails can mean a fortune!). I was give a magazine to browse while waiting, and there<strong> I saw a photo of a baba, similar to this one, though not exactly the same, by Argentinean chef Antonio Serrano.</strong></p>
<p><a title="baba-2 by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6826124596/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7050/6826124596_61d3699855_b.jpg" alt="baba-2" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>What a great idea! To put aside rhum&#8230;<strong>to imbibe the babas in a syrup, full of scents: ginger, lemongrass, mint and vanilla seeds. Of course, being me, I could not do without booze ;D so I decided to use some Cointreau.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then reminiscing a voyage to the southeast of Asia, I decided to buy <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitaya">red pitaya or dragon fruit</a> (for a dramatic decoration!) and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_mangosteen">mangosteen</a>! And the not so exotic kiwis and passionfruit.</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><br />
<strong> <a title="baba-CU by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6972247919/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7179/6972247919_7f83e8e8bd_b.jpg" alt="baba-CU" width="914" height="1024" /></a></strong></p>
<p>For the minestrone, I<strong> also used kiwis, passionfruit and mango &#8220;spaghetti&#8221; ! </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/03/recipe-french-baba-in-tropical-fruits-minestrone-receta-baba.html/baba" rel="attachment wp-att-3711"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3711" title="baba" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/baba-800x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="787" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Baba dough can be very sticky,</strong> so it is better to place it in the mold using a pastry bag. Maybe I should have used a thinner tip? My babas rose big and high!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/03/recipe-french-baba-in-tropical-fruits-minestrone-receta-baba.html/baba-crust" rel="attachment wp-att-3716"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3716" title="baba-crust" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/baba-crust-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Remember the babas have to be at room temperature before you dip them in a warm syrup</strong>&#8230;the warm/warm combination will not work! <strong>We need a contrast in temperatures!</strong></p>
<p><a title="baba-CU-BW by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6972255531/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7036/6972255531_c93fa26be5_b.jpg" alt="baba-CU-BW" width="848" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>I hope you love them as much as my family did!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #d20e49;">Baba Francés, con Jarabe y Minestron de Frutas Exoticas ! </span></strong></p>
<p><a title="baba-gral by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6972228605/"><img class="wp-image-3768" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6972228605_8ac3941e5d_b.jpg" alt="baba-gral" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Confesion: <strong>Nunca me gustaron mucho los babas&#8230;demasiado gusto a rum, y ademas, siempre me parecio un postre &#8220;de viejo&#8221;&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><a title="baba-fruits by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6826099018/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7181/6826099018_dd303b6986_b.jpg" alt="baba-fruits" width="884" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Hace pocos dias,<strong> en Buenos Aires, fui a la peluqueria a que me hiciesen las uñas de manos y pies!</strong> (este es un lujo que me puedo dar mas seguido en BA&#8230;aca en Paris, cuesta una fortuna!) Y ahi, con los pies extendidos, me dieron una revista para mirar, y justo <strong>aparece un baba, distinto&#8230;re-tropical, receta del chef argentino Antonio Soriano! No es exactamente asi&#8230;.capté el espiritu.</strong></p>
<p><a title="baba-2 by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6826124596/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7050/6826124596_61d3699855_b.jpg" alt="baba-2" width="680" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Me parecio una <strong>muy buena idea no poner rum, sino embeber los baba en una almibar lleno de perfumes: menta, lemongrass, granos de vainilla y jengibre</strong>. Claro&#8230;justo yo no me iba a quedar sin algo de alcohol! asi que le <strong>puse un poco de Cointreau!</strong></p>
<p><a title="baba-CU by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6972247919/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7179/6972247919_7f83e8e8bd_b.jpg" alt="baba-CU" width="914" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>Y para el minestron, me <strong>acordé de un viaje al sudeste asiatico, y fui a comprar mangustan (en la foto veran, una fruta redondita, de cascara dura. Es originaria de Indonesia. Adentro tiene gajos como de mandarina, pero blancos, con un gusto exquisito! La otra fruta, es el fruto dragon o pitaya roja&#8230;Por adentro parece un kiwi, aunque yo la encuentro no muy sabrosa&#8230;pero para la decoracion, mata! </strong>Ademas puse kiwis, y maracujà y &#8220;spaghettis de mango&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/03/recipe-french-baba-in-tropical-fruits-minestrone-receta-baba.html/baba" rel="attachment wp-att-3711"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3711" title="baba" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/baba-800x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="787" /></a></p>
<p>La masa del baba es bastante pegajosa, asi que conviene usar una manga para instalarla en el molde. Quizas deberia haber utiizada una boquilla mas chica&#8230;mis babas crecieron como locos (bueno, mi cocina parece La Havanna, en este momento!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/03/recipe-french-baba-in-tropical-fruits-minestrone-receta-baba.html/baba-crust-2" rel="attachment wp-att-3719"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3719" title="baba-crust" src="http://www.frombatoparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/baba-crust1-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="926" /></a></p>
<p>Recuerden que para que los babas absorban el almibar, estos deben estar a temperatura ambiente, y el almibar tibio. Debe haber un contraste de temperatura..sino absorben mucho menos!</p>
<p><a title="baba-CU-BW by from Buenos Aires to Paris, on Flickr" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crisinparis/6972255531/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7036/6972255531_c93fa26be5_b.jpg" alt="baba-CU-BW" width="848" height="1024" /></a></p>

<p><strong>Lindsey, a native of Philadelphia, is not just another American girl writing a blog about Paris..</strong>.Actually, she does write about Paris, but with such grace and garbo&#8230;with such creativeness, sharp sense of observation, that myself, a Paris dweller, seem to see things for the first time led by her hand&#8230;.Not for nothing, <strong>her blog has gotten the award Best European Blog, by Bloggies 2011!</strong></p>
<p>And I will illustrate my point&#8230;.<strong>I always go shopping to rue Montorgueil,</strong> nearly everyweek&#8230;Look at <strong>Lindsey&#8217;s photos below</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>Can you believe I have NEVER seen all those men??!! Where ARE they when I go? Are they hiding somewhere? Do they show up only for Lindsey?</p>
<p>&#8220;Lindsey: I&#8217;m jealous!&#8221;</p>

<p>Now, if you believe the only thing Lindsey does is to stroll around Paris with her camera, you are wrong! She is also the co-founder of <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lolas-cookies.com/">Lola&#8217;s Cookies</a></strong>: THE place to contact when you feel you can&#8217;t live without such a truly American treat! Her cookies are a delicious addiction!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot Lindsey, and I would also like to thank all you readers for all their nice comments about my humble work!</p>

<p><strong>Lindsey,  nacida en Philadelphia, no es otra chica norteamericana que escribe sobre Paris..</strong>.En realidad, si es escribe sobre Paris, pero con tanta gracia y maestria, con tanta creatividad, y agudo sentido de observacion, que yo que vivo en Paris, a veces me encuentro descubriendo cosas con ella. No es por azar que <strong>su blog haya sido premiado como Mejor Blog europeo, por Bloggies, en 2011</strong></p>
<p>Voy a ilustrar mi punto aqui..Yo siempre voy de compras a la <strong>calle Montorgueil</strong>&#8230;casi semanalmente. <strong>Miren las fotos de Lindsey abajo..</strong>..</p>
<p>Pueden creer que <strong>yo NUNCA haya visto esos hombres?</strong>?!? Donde estan cuando voy yo? Estan escondidos, o salen solo cuando va Lindsey?</p>
<p>Lo confieso: &#8220;Lindsey, estoy celosa!&#8221;</p>

<p>Almost <strong>ready to board the plane,</strong> that in 13 hours!!! OMG, will<strong> take me to Buenos Aires&#8230;B.A. as I call to call my hometown</strong>&#8230;.Fours hours of &#8220;décalage horaire&#8221;, almost 40 degrees difference in temperature&#8230;yet SO happy ! When the sliding doors of Ezeiza airport open, paf! the sun dazzles me..the heat of Argentinean summer burns my skin&#8230;a swarm of people asking &#8220;Taxi Madame?&#8221;<br />
No,<strong> my friend Patricia is waiting for me, ready to smother me in hugs, reassuring me that I look gorgeous</strong> &#8220;Estàs divina!!!&#8221; <strong>That&#8217;s the first thing a good Argentinean friend tells you</strong>..even if you cannot look &#8220;divina&#8221; after trying to catch some sleep in the ever-shrinking seats of an Air France plane&#8230;</p>

<p>Too soon, <strong>my tight schedule is announced:</strong> &#8220;If you want&#8230;but only if you want&#8230;if you are not too tired&#8230;I have <strong>organised an &#8220;asado&#8221;</strong> (barbecue) with Belén, Francis, Pacho, Bea, Sony &amp; Clara at home&#8230;and tomorrow there is <strong>another &#8220;asado&#8221;</strong> chez the other Patricia (80% of my friends are called Patricia!), to be <strong>followed by another &#8220;asado</strong>&#8221; chez Silvana&#8230;and like that I feel like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Lagarde">Christine Lagarde</a>..only my &#8220;unmissable&#8221; appointments are not IMF related&#8230;.my RDVs are<strong> a chain of &#8220;asados&#8221; where I will ingest more meat that is possible to imagine in the life of a normal human being.</strong>..Yes, because all Argentineans believe that their countrymen (or women) living abroad suffer a kind o<strong>f meat deprivation that has to be reversed in the 15 days they go back to their country on vacation..</strong>.Suddenly, I feel like a &#8220;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boa_constrictor">boa constrictor</a>&#8221; that has eaten three cows, and tries to digest that&#8230;while savoring<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://delugaresysabores.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/postre-rogel-0.jpg&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.delugaresysabores.com.ar/%3Fp%3D776&amp;usg=__e4iVniBx9oKD7_6Q8_dNiUt60ls=&amp;h=325&amp;w=472&amp;sz=31&amp;hl=fr&amp;start=53&amp;zoom=1&amp;tbnid=A1gn4MJxcQGWyM:&amp;tbnh=128&amp;tbnw=171&amp;ei=rnU7T9DaEciXhQev0qCSCg&amp;prev=/search%3Fq%3Drogel%2Bdolli%26hl%3Dfr%26biw%3D1918%26bih%3D864%26tbm%3Disch&amp;itbs=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=1540&amp;vpy=567&amp;dur=6&amp;hovh=186&amp;hovw=271&amp;tx=185&amp;ty=133&amp;sig=114372603986393361442&amp;page=2&amp;ndsp=68&amp;ved=1t:429,r:9,s:53"> a Rogel </a>(dessert made with puff pastry AND insane quantities of dulce de leche!!) Yes, that is Argentinean love.<strong>.We love you so we feed you until you are ready to burst!!</strong></p>
<p>Do you believe that<strong> Parisian Cristina will say &#8220;no&#8221; to all these &#8220;delicacies&#8221; believing that is not &#8220;oh so chic&#8221; to eat like a pig???</strong>  &#8221;Tu parles&#8221; (very difficult to translate phrase, meaning like &#8216;not even crazy&#8221;) No, <strong>chic Cristina will ask for some &#8220;chimichurri&#8221; sauce to add to this meat !!!

<p>I found the<strong> recipe for chapa bread</strong>, in <a href="http://www.frombatoparis.com/2012/01/argentinian-cooking-mallmann-tarta-pascualina-pie-spinach-eggs-tart.html">Francis Mallmann&#8217;s book</a>, and you can enjoy this with whatvever you want. In the first picture, <strong>pork meat and roasted sweet potatoes&#8230;accompanied by a mustard sauce..In the second sandwich, grilled and caramelized onions, with a hint of honey..the choice is yours!</strong></p>

<p>Ya casi lista para tomar <strong>mi avion, que en trece horas (OMG!) me llevara a Buenos Aires.</strong>.B.A, como me gusta llamar a mi ciudad&#8230;<strong>Cuatro horas de diferencia horaria, y casi 40 grados de diferencia en temperatura!..</strong>.y sin embargo feliz! Cuando se abren las puertas corredizas en el aeropuerto de <strong>Ezeiza, PAF! el sol me ciega&#8230;el calor del verano argentino quema mi piel</strong>&#8230;una nube de taxitas y remiseros repite: &#8220;Taxi? Remise a capital?&#8221;</p>
<p>No, mi amiga Patricia me esta esperando&#8230;y en cuanto me ve, casi ahogandome en besos y abrazos, me dice: &#8220;Estas divina!!&#8221; <strong>Si, es lo primero que una amiga argentina le va a decir a otra..aunque no puedas estar &#8220;divina&#8221;después de tratar en vano de dormir en los cada dia mas chicos asientos del avion de Air France&#8230;..</strong></p>

<p>Inmediatamente,<strong> se anuncia mi apretada agenda</strong>: &#8220;Si querés, pero solo si tenés ganas, eh! ya organizamos<strong> un &#8220;asadito&#8221;  en casa con Belén, Francis, Pacho, Bea, Sony y Clara.</strong>.y <strong>mañana, tendriamos otro asado</strong> en lo de la otra Patricia (el 80% de mis amigas se llaman Patricia) , <strong>y el lunes, asado</strong> en lo de Silvana&#8230;&#8221;, y ya me empiezo a sentir como<a rel="nofollow" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Lagarde"> Christine Lagarde</a>&#8230;solo que<strong> mis impostergables RDV no tiene nada que ver con el FMI..</strong>.todos mis RDV son <strong>una cadena de &#8220;asados</strong>&#8221; donde voy a comer carne en cantidades imposibles de  imaginar para un ser humano normal&#8230;<strong>Si, porque todos los argentinos piensan que sus compatriotas que viven en el exterior sufren de una carencia de carne &#8220;in extremis&#8221; que debe ser inefectiblemente corregida durante los quince dias de vacaciones en el pais !</strong> Cuando me quiero acordar, ya <strong>me siento una &#8220;boa constrictor&#8221;,</strong> que se comio tres vacas, y trata de digerirlas penosamente&#8230;pero en el mientras tanto me deleito con un<a rel="nofollow" href="http://recetasdecocinablog.com/postre-mil-hojas-rogel/"> Rogel !</a>! (postre hecho de capas de hojaldre y cantidades insanas de dulce de leche!!) Y si<strong>, asi es el amor argentino&#8230;Te quiero tanto que te hago comer&#8230;hasta explotar!!</strong></p>
<p>Ahora, ustedes creen que esta Cristina parisina le va a decir &#8220;no&#8221; a todas esas delicias?? pensando que<strong> no queda &#8220;tan chic&#8221; comer como una cerda?</strong>!?? &#8220;Ni ahi&#8230;&#8221; No, Cristina dira: &#8220;<strong>Chicas, como no hicieron chimichurri, para poner en el choripan???!?&#8221; Y si, como yo digo siempre: &#8220;si vamos a pecar, hay que hacerlo en grande..&#8221;</strong></p>

<div class="customImage">To make <strong>this Chapa Bread</strong>, you will need:</div>
<div class="customImage"></div>
<div class="customImage">*all purpose flour, 4 cups *coarse salt, 1tbsp *active dry yeast, 1 packet (5gr) *olive oil, 1tbsp *warm water (110°F), 1 1/4 cups</div>
<div class="customImage"></div>
<div class="customImage">Combine the flour, salt, and yeast into the bowl of the mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed. Add olive oil, then water gradually until the dough comes together. Change for the dough hook &amp; knead on medium for 5&#8242;, until the dough is smooth &amp; elastic. Transfer dough to the counter &amp; knead lightly &amp; shape into a ball. Place in a large floured bowl. Cover with damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 45&#8242;/1 hour. Roll out dough into rectangle about 6 inches by 12 inches &amp; 1/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut it into 3 inch squares. Place on a floured baking sheet, cover with damp cloth, &amp; let it rise in a warm place till double in size, about 30&#8242;</div>
<div class="customImage">Heat a chapa (or oven 180°C) over medium low heat. Place the bread in batches on the chapa. Reduce the heat to low, and cook until puffed &amp; browned on the bottom, 5&#8242;. Flip and brown on the other side. To serve, split open with a knife &amp; fill with your choice of sandwich ingredients.</div>
<div class="customImage"></div>
<div class="customImage">Para hacer<strong> este Pan de Chapa</strong>, se necesita:</div>
<div class="customImage"></div>
<div class="customImage">*harina comun, 500gr *sal gruesa, 1cda *levadura fresca, 15gr o 5gr de levadura seca *aceite de oliva, 1 cda *agua tibia, 310ml</div>
<div class="customImage">Poner la harina, sal y levadura en un bowl, el aceite de oliva, y luego de a poco el agua hasta que la masa esté unida. Traspasar a la mesa enharinada y amasar 10&#8242;, hasta obtener una masa elastica y lisa. Darle forma de bola y colocarla en un bowl enharinado, cubrir con lienzo humedo, y dejar levar 45&#8242; en lugar calido. Extender la masa formando un rectangulo de 15&#215;30 y 6mm de espesor. Con un cuchillo afilado, cortarla en cuadrados de 7/8cm. Ponerlos en una placa para horno enharinada, cubrirlos con un paño o lienzo de cocina humedo, y dejarlos levar. Calentar una chapa o una plancha grande de hierro fundido sobre fuego moderado a suave. Colocar los panes, en tandas, sobre la chapa&#8230;reducir fuego al minimo, y cocinar hasta que se inflen y estén dorados en la base, unos 5&#8242;. Darlos vuelta y dorarlos del otro lado. Rellenar con los ingredientes de nuestro sandwich preferido.</div>
