Over the years, I have become enthralled with the idea of having my own edible garden. I would fantasize about spending time tending to my greens, picking red ripe on the vine Roma tomatoes and biting into fresh fruit from my own patio. My harvests so far have been limited to cherry tomatoes, a [...]

Emilio and I don’t go out to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Period. Once, many years ago, on a trip to Miami that coincided with the date, we went out with some friends and it was a total nightmare. It’s difficult to sit down, relax and enjoy a nice meal and expect good service on such [...]

My Bittersweet 40th Birthday When I was a teenager and I looked at people in their thirties I considered them to be really, really, old. As time went by, people in their thirties didn’t seem old anymore, simply, more experienced. Today, on the eve of my BIG 4-0, I’m hit with the brutal reality that [...]

It’s that time of year again, Super Bowl 2013 will be next Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49′rs will battle for the title in New Orleans, Louisiana. I don’t follow american football, but I attended many Super Bowl parties, b.c. (before children). My guess is that I don’t like football [...]

I am pretty sure many of you have heard of (George) Auguste Escoffier. This french chef was often called ”the king of chefs and a chef of kings” because he cooked exceptional dishes for royalty both in France and England and was a prominent figure among cooks and gourmands during the early 20th century. [...]

Tortilla Española or Tortilla de Patatas is one of the most common dishes served all over Spain as well as in many of the former Spanish Colonies in America. The basic Tortilla Española, an open faced omelette similar to a quiche without a crust, includes eggs, potatoes and onions, but there are many variations. [...]

I am always looking for ways to bring my basic recipes to another level. Definitely, this time I consider I have accomplished it by taking a great recipe and turning it into, simply put… an AMAZING recipe. The twist? Adding shredded green plantain to my Arroz con Gandules. The first time I heard about Arroz [...]

There is something about Red Velvet Cake that appeals to the inner child in everyone. The combination of a moist cake with a hint of cocoa and velvety cream cheese frosting is awesome! The color contrast is also striking and appealing. It is a popular dessert in the South of the United States as well [...]
