Raisin Brioche Pastries

It was time for me to escape the cold weather of Chicago and head south – way south.  Actually, so far south that I’m currently traveling and eating my way through Buenos Aires.  What an amazing city!  I’ve been really impressed with the culinary scene which is heavily influenced not only by the surrounding countries, but also Spain and Italy.  I thought you might be interested in seeing some of the delicious eats I’ve been enjoying over the last few days – some of these will serve as inspiration for upcoming posts over the next few months.

Freshly Baked Bread

As you can imagine, the variety, quality and amount of meats and cheeses is outstanding!

Charcuterie Platter

Empanadas are at the top of my cooking list when I get home.  I’ve had several since I’ve been here – sweet or savory, these are delicious!

Ham & Cheese, Beef and Chicken Empanadas

I have to throw in some fruit and vegetables once in awhile – I can’t live on pastries, meat and cheese (or can I?)!

Farmers Market Stand

Stay tuned – I’m still eating and taking photos, so there will be more to come soon!
