This post started as a holiday project, that for lack of time, I ended up not participating in. I decided to share with you how this Berliner Tower came to mind anyhow. This is the Venezuelan version of a pastry cream filled doughnut that you can find in any bakery...

While strolling around the market last week I still saw a lot of beautiful tomatoes and with the gorgeous weather this weekend I think turning the grill on was a must. Flank steak can be very juicy and delicious but just like any steak; served by itself could also be...

As I sit here and look out the window at the stunning Autum colors I feel inspired by the beauty of nature. Isn’t it gorgeous? That is also how I feel in the kitchen. What inspires me to cook sometimes is the cravings for some food but most times it is just...
