Candied Orange Wedges

This recipe is a must, like a wildcard. Can be with just a coffee after a fullfilling dinner, cut in pieces for a pound cake, can be added to a simple ice cream, covered with chocolate, with a smelly cheese. Or just this and a fork, and nothing else, for those snack momemts

Conversions & Equivalents: metric vs. non-metric

Here in Argentina we use the metric system, centimetres, kilograms, and Celsius degrees. And that´s a problem, because most of the recipes I read are in English units, inches, ounces, and Farenheit degrees.

To solve that, I´ve made a simple chart, although I write in english the recipes are in metrics.

To have a quick access to this chart I´ll add a button on the top of the blog.

Hope it helps you!

Pear, ginger & cardamom jam

One thing that I brought for me from Villa General Belgrano was a jar of pear marmalade, and when it was out, I went for my own.


As I'm always looking for new ideas, new flavors and combinations of them, I like to use spices to change a bit the flavors, or, sometimes, herbs and dried fruits to give a new dimension to sweet tastes. I admit that sometimes I get bored quickly, but seeing the positive side, I have a curious and adventurous spirit. But enough about me.


The pears are still good looking at grocery stores and the truth that I did not exploit them much this year.

So, enough said, I made this pear and spices jam, from scratch, no recipe (incredible for my chemistry brain) that was incredibly delicious.

Candied ginger

Long ago, I wondered how was that in Argentina there wasn´t something as good as candied ginger, and then I realized I could prepare it myself.  And there I was.
There is no exact recipe, but it is not hard to do ir anyway..

Candied ginger can be used for many things, to add a few bits in cookies, mixed with apples for a pie, for decorating chocolate tarts, dipped in chocolate to eat as a candy, passed through sugar, well, for anything you like.

A yogurt and a yogurt cheesecake

This time I have 2 recipes to share: yogurt and yogurt cheesecake.
Yogurt? How boring! But for me it´s not, I don´t get tired of doing it, it´s really easy, ready in 5 minutes, is very rich, cheap and also low calorie. But, always a but, you have to be patient, you need 1 day to see results.
