It’s very common to be offered a small bowl of salsa with some tortilla chips (tortillas cut into pieces and fried) when you’re sitting in a Mexican restaurant. Here in the United States, some restaurants use canned tomatoes for this, but using fresh tomatoes will always make the best salsa. My mom almost always has this sauce … Read more

I also have to tell you that at home I’m quite strict about a varied menu and the Mediterranean diet for everyone. The kids are growing up, and I like them to learn to eat healthily, to eat a variety of foods, and especially to appreciate legumes because they are very necessary and should be eaten often. At home, … Read more

I didn’t have pearl sugar, which is hard to find in traditional stores. When added to the batter at the very end, some of this sugar melts when it comes into … Read more

At home, they’ve always been used as a base for many different dishes, like onions, but I’ve realized that I’ve rarely cooked them as the star ingredient.

There are dishes that have something that hooks you from the first time you try them. They’re those recipes that, even if they come from the other side of the world and you can’t even pronounce their names, suddenly make you feel like you’ve been eating them all your life, like they’re distant cousins of … Read more

Our diet has undergone significant changes in recent years. While not long ago we knew little beyond the Mediterranean diet, thanks to globalization and the internet, we have gradually gained access in our own cities to typical foods and dishes from other countries, allowing us to experience the flavors of the world without having to travel. … Read more

It was during my first visit to Paris that I had the chance to try baked bone marrow in a small restaurant not far from Les Halles. It had been recommended to me as a classic. A very simple starter, requiring only a few pieces of bone, some slices of toasted bread, and a little salt. I … Read more

I think we’ve all tried a dessert that’s completely covered in sugar at some point in our lives. There are many desserts like that in the United States, and although they can be bad for your health, I like to eat them occasionally.
