By my side.....




Last week it was full of surprises and I want to share them with you. My blog was mentioned in Saveur magazine, one of the most important and related publications in the world gastronomy, which were 55 great global food blogs. My blog was there representing Argentina. I was surprised and happy...., very happy........


It's a proud to be alongside great blogs that I admire and, thank to Saveur Magazine because it included my work on this such wonderful list.





Because of this I´d have done a great recipe, but I didn´t. I opted by some  side dishes according to the season


Simple bruschetas on ciabatta bread, chopped tomatoes, chopped garlic and grated muzzarela. Oven for gratin, sprinkle with minced basil, a thread of olive oil and fried quail eggs.  Delicious!









Potato salad and quail eggs, were also at our table this week. Cherry tomatoes wrapped in ham.
As you can see many sides. And even the last week chocolate cake leftover has been transformed into a new dessert only  adding a raspberry syrup

And finally but not less important, as we are in full season, yesterday I baked an asparagus tart with mascarpone, which can be served with meat or fish  or as  a starter. 








I hope you enjoy it and have a beautiful week
