Free Sweet 16 Invitation Maker

cornmeal cake, nuts and lemon


Photos: Mercedes Monti
When a couple of months ago I was in the Bolivian market Liniers, one of the things I bought was a very fine corn flour rather finer than polenta. At that moment I thought that could be used to make tortillas, or to prepare some of the cakes that indicate meal, because for my taste the polenta is a little thick for use in baking. Just
August 31, in the supplement Pots & Pans Clarin, left a note in which the chef Paul Massey gave three recipes with polenta. Including a lemon and almond cake, which clarified that this was to be used fine cornmeal.
This is my adaptation of that cake. I did half the recipe, I changed minimally proportions, and used very fine chopped pecans instead of almonds. But you can wear what they like or make the original recipe is here on line .
has an amazing texture. Breaks into thousands of slightly crunchy crumbs with lemon flavor. Moreover, as no flour, if done with all ingredients without TACC is suitable for coeliacs.

Very Wet Cm Before Ad

Mua House


In Soler and Julio Alvarado, a quiet corner Palermo, a little away from the epicenter of this neighborhood is Casa Mua, a natural food restaurant bar. Many salads, sandwiches with good bread, wraps, juices, and some dishes like stuffed squash, make the menu at this place with vintage.

Among the desserts I recommend the almond. Two bowls of ice cream, covered with a fine layer of almond praline fat, accompanied by a chocolate sauce. Missed.

The place is very bright, and has the peculiarity of having a space for kids, with juegotes, house and a giant chalkboard. At four in the afternoon came a coordinator who organizes activities for boys. As tea time is the ideal time to go guys, and try the pastries, muffins, croissants, chocolate chip cookies, something for all tastes.
also has a small store of objects, and down the spiral staircase, a library.

Sweet Deviled Eggs

My grandmother used to make these deviled eggs. Mixing the yolks with mayonnaise and mustard, and very neatly filled out clearly very slowly with a spoon. You could spend hours in the kitchen. My lot do not like mayonnaise, so I took the boldness to change the ingredients slightly. The
I remember when I walked the lovely website of the cook Juliana López May. She prepares them with butter and cheese, and ends with a sprig of parsley.
My version is an intersection between these two recipes. Simply stepping on the tips of four hard boiled eggs, and mix with a tablespoon of cheese and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Although in reality, the amounts are to taste. Mustard why is it preferable to adding as much, and to go testing, because it is quite strong. Season with salt and pepper.
Finally, with a little patience, you have to accommodate this paste into the clear. Pictured are very neat because it was just a disposable sleeve, but it is an element that everyone has in their kitchen, and at least in this case is not at all necessary. With two spoons can be filled just as well. Finish with a parsley leaf.

Last week I was at the inauguration of South African Food Festival at the Sheraton Buenos Aires, organized by the South African Embassy in Argentina, along with South African Airlines. For the occasion traveled two chefs, Cameron Giles and Jerome Jansen, who work in this chain hotel in Cape Town, and prepared some of the specialties of their country. While there
ingredients used here are not achieved, as meat from animals place - ostrich, springbok, impala, "and fish in the area, just might make some classics, such as the bunny chow , fresh bread hollowed out, filled with a curry of chicken, beef or beans, which is originally from Durban , a beach town that is home to a huge Indian community.
I mostly stopped to talk to Jerome, the pastry chef, who prepared three very typical sweet dishes, milk tart, koeksisters and malva pudding.
was the latter that reminded me of a trip I took to South Africa ten years ago. I remember very well this tota warm, fluffy, served over a creamy liquid. So I asked for the recipe to Jerome, and then prepared at home with some modifications, such as raspberries, to be more like you ate that night a decade ago, in full African savannah. Cake
