If you are ever in Uruguay, you must have a Choripan! The word comes from joining the work Chorizo and Pan together (Sausage and Bread). The best ones are usually found in street carts (i.e type of food truck), but of course you can find it in any local restaurant! But, a choripan would not be complete (in my books) if it doesn't have a good helping of chimichurri to go with it....

Pate in general is something you either love or hate! Thankfully I was brought up in a household with a huge love for it, have tasted the most fabulous Fois Gras (duck liver pate), to the simplest store made Liverwurst. At home, I just make my own and experiment a lot with flavours such as adding orange or cranberry to it, cracked black pepper, truffled salt and various alcoholic elements such as port, cognac, whiskey, etc....

Scones are one of my all time favourite childhood tea time jewels! In those days, it was a must to have them clotted cream and jam (if you were in the UK of course), or butter and jam when no clotted cream available! Well, now as an adult I prefer savory scones, bacon and cheddar, rosemary, etc....but today I will pay a rendition to the perfect combination, great for entertaining!...

My wonderful sister Paola Rubini shared with me a fabulous recipe which I have now turned into a Fabulous Holiday Season treat! The traditional Alfajor is made with Dulce de Leche, but I happened to come across some scrumptious Speculoos Cookie Butter, I thought, why not! Got this one at Trader Joes, but Amazon has it as well and can always be replaced with Biscoff Cookie Butter that can be found at your local stores most of the time (...

The best part of this dinner, other than it being quick, is the fact that it was all done in my handy dandy air fryer! For those of you who use one, you know how wonderfully practical they are! I went from being skeptical about it and saying over and over "here goes another kitchen gadget I will never use again", to "OMG where were you all my life"!...
