Welcome

Welcome to my blog. My blogging journey began about in August 2009 as a photo-a-day blog which has since transitioned to combine my love of good food and photography. Today, using as many local and fresh ingredients as we can, my boyfriend and myself spend time researching recipes, making our own adaptations, cooking, taking photos, eating, and finally reflecting on all or part of the above listed process here. I hope you take the time to not only read and look at our photos, but please cook some of the recipes yourself. You are invited and encourage to leave feedback as we continue our culinary journey!

Arroz a la Cubana

With Daniele in Japan, I had the opportunity to specialize in "meals for one". I enjoy cooking, but mostly when there are others around to eat my food. First of all, because I like someone else to taste my product, but also because it simply doesn't make sense to cook a difficult or time consuming meal for one person.

But, this meal is simple and still tasty, and in fact, was one of my Spanish host mom's specialties when I lived in Spain.

To make it, slice and fry a plantain in some olive oil. At the same time, cook a serving or two of white rice, heat up one can of tomato puree. You can use some red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt to season the tomato puree if you prefer. Finally, fry two eggs.

On a plate, add the rice, top with tomato sauce and eggs, and eat the plantains on the side. Simple, and yet, nice for something different and good for a nice, vegetarian meal.
