We’re still up and running, offering our breads for delivery, as well as private dinners and lunches. Now that Argentina’s government (just yesterday, and like anything they do, subject to reversal) has announced that our borders will reopen on November 2nd, we’re looking at reopening in full in early November. I don’t think there will… Read More We’re Still Working
It was a lovely birthday weekend, thanks for asking! Friday launched it, with a delightful lunch outdoors at Roux, Peña 2300, Recoleta, just around the corner from us. Among the delights sampled, a plate of fried frog’s legs with a cilantro based provencal sauce and roasted vegetables; and a whole quail, which was supposed to be… Read More Everybody’s Working for the Weekend
We’re off to Scandinavia in this edition of The Bread & Soup Project. This is our first venture into those northern climes, and the northernmost country we’ve approached so far (well, Canada goes further north, but also further south), and is the southernmost of the Scandinavian countries, also being the only one of those physically… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #48 – Denmark

This one… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #47 – Dem. Rep. of the Congo
It’s only fair, after so many recent looks at the new wave of pizzerias, either Neapolitan style, or “artisanal” versions of either Argentine or Italian or New York or… style, that I offer some attention back on the local approach to pizza. Now, I’ve written both pros and cons over the years – early on,… Read More Pizzas of the Argentine
A last minute booking this weekend for a private dinner for two, celebrating a one year anniversary of dating. Planned for outdoors at our patio table, the weather turned cooler and damp, so we moved the place settings inside, turned on the background lighting, put a candle on the table, and away we went. A tiradito,… Read More A Romantic Eve
We’re off to Cyprus this time around, an island nation in the Mediterranean off the southern coast of Turkey and western coast of Syria. With a human presence that stretches back 12 millenia, it is the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean. At around 3600 square miles it’s midway in size… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #45 – Cyprus
