Fondue


Just imagine: There’s a couple in a small restaurant at night, they’re sharing fondue. I know, right!! I mean, could this be any more romantic? Fondue is one of my top 5 favorite dishes, especially if it’s a chocolate one. Fondue is a typical Switzerland dish that consists of dipping small pieces of food in hot liquids like melted cheese, oil or chocolate in a small pot. In order to keep the pot hot, it is necessary to put fire under it.

Isla mujeres

Isla Mujeres is a privileged place with a unique natural and cultural variety in Mexico. This beautiful island combines the beauty of the Caribbean, the dense tropical jungle and the wonderful heritage of the Maya civilization. It stands out as one of Mexico's natural treasures, an earthly paradise full of charms.

Besides its beaches and the amazing architecture of nature carved into the cliffs, Isla Mujeres has archaeological sites and marine parks with incredible natural reefs. Isla Mujeres is it a dream world where every traveler finds his second home. without doubt, it is love at first sight, since the Caribbean charm and natural beauty of the island is impossible to reject.

Molecular Gastronomy

Through this post I'm going to explain about a new way of cooking which frankly amazed me.
Some call it Deconstruction others Molecular Gastronomy but it's not the name what makes this type of cuisine so peculiar, it's the technique and procedure what makes it so special.



This is one of the most avant-garde types of cuisine, it was the chef Ferra Adriá who started with this new style of cooking.
The key to understand this cooking style is to know that it consists on modifying the aspect,texture and combination of different culinary elements in order to increase the quality of the "sensorial stimulus" they produce.

In few words it means that you can change completely the physical state of a dish in a way that the flavors are stonguer and way better.

this are some examples of deconstruction:
The first one is :terrina de albahaca con espuma de leche de oveja
and the second one is :Aire de zanahoria con concentrado de mandarina




p.s. miss this has count for two posts! it's enormous ahhaha :D

Panuchos


This is one of the best mexican dishes.
Born in Yucatan, mexico, this dish has become a "must eat" when you travel to Mexico.
The panucho is a fried Tortilla filled in with refried beans,on top of it you find pices of either Cochinita or turkey little peaces of avocado, tomato and purple onions.

Apple pie


This is a typical American desert,it is a pie made with sugar,apple, butte,flour cinnamon.
It is done in a circle shaped pyrex, I adore this pie, it has a very sweet and crunchy taste.

I highly recomend to eat this pie when still warm and acompany it with milk.

Easter Chocolate Eggs


The easter chocolate eggs are a characteristic international food.
the idea of giving eggs to others in the Catholic religion is to symbolize the resuretion of jesus, it is also a way to express the feeling of a new beginning.
this eggs are made up of chocolate and they might be filed in with marshmellow,Dulce de leche or any kind of sweet topping.
