Sangria is the best antidote for a hot summer afternoon. My recipe has never let me down and is always a great success when I prepare for my guests. Easy, refreshing, not overly sweet and mild alcohol content. This drink can be served in a pitcher, punchbowl or a classic beverage dispenser with spigot. I [...]

In a few weeks I will be attending a family reunion of the Arbona side of the family. My great-grandfather came to Puerto Rico from Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands (Spain) in the late 1800′s. In short, he went back, got married, had his children and they returned to Puerto Rico due to the Spanish [...]

According to Foodimentary @ Twitter, April 8 was the National Empanada Day.

Empanada means to coat [...]

For this family recipe I had to travel a long way to get it. One of those dishes that is one person’s trademark and she makes it without a written recipe. When you ask for the recipe he/she lists the ingredients but cannot tell you the exact amounts… what a nightmare! Ja, ja! It is [...]
Caldo Gallego

One of my grandmothers is from Galicia, Spain so we grew up eating a lot of Caldo Gallego! This soup has restorative properties when you get sick, have been partying too hard, need to boost your iron or just want a savory hot meal in the cold weather. Some ingredients are not easy to find [...]
