Last post before vacation…. (coming to you next from… well, you’ll have to wait and see). More Peruvians checked off the list. Henry’s on-board for this quest! El Cocoroco Sabores del Perú, Olazábal 2571 Amenabar 2301, Belgrano – one of two Cocorocos, the other a half block away. This one is their traditional homestyle spot, the… Read More Más Perú!
Today, one of my favorite, simple pastas. I am going to complicate it very slightly in that I had some leftover roasted cauliflower in the fridge and decided to add it in. So imagine the same photo above without the cauliflower. Just five simple ingredients – spaghetti, cherry tomatoes, garlic, crushed peperoncino chili, parsley. Okay, there’s… Read More Assassin’s Noodles
Spin the wheel, bet on 00, let’s see what we get… (74) Stazione della Pizza, in the Retiro Mitre train station. This place wasn’t open when I passed by here early on in the 92 Bus Pizza Trek. It’s not a little spot either, for a train station, I think it took over a space that… Read More Bite Marks #29
I would venture to guess that a good percentage of my readers weren’t alive when Bangladesh (literally, “the republic of Bengal”) became an independent country. After a millennia of domination by various empires, and colonization by the British, and the massive genocide in 1971 by the Pakistani government (nearly 3 million Bengalis killed and almost… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #15 – Bangladesh
Coffee, pizza, and more…. What else do you need? Might as well start with a little coffee at the apparently well-known within the Harry Potter world fan-base, Félix Felices & Co., Cabrera 5002 in Palermo, which I stumbled across one day. It took me about 10 seconds of thinking to click why the big “9¾” meant something,… Read More Bite Marks #28
More RamenQuest! I go adventuring around the city in my everlasting quest for a decent bowl of slurpable noodles. I had this impression that Niji, Iberá 2424 in Nuñez, was in some ways similar to a puertas cerradas, i.e., in a private home, with the family serving you traditional Japanese dishes. I’d tried to make reservations on and off over… Read More Oodles o’ Noodles
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a book round-up. I’ve more or less kept up with non-food related books over on my personal website, but haven’t put any time into pimping out those related to food and drink here. Let’s hope this isn’t too overwhelming…just a “baker’s dozen” in the order I read through them… Read More Cooking the Books #3
I couldn’t have found Bahrain on a map a week ago. I could have pointed vaguely towards the Middle East, but I couldn’t have told you that it was an archipelago consisting of 30 islands, though the vast majority of its land mass is one single island. I couldn’t have told you that it’s 25% the size… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #14 – Bahrain
