Skip to Recipe This is my third Mango Season working in a place that affords me access to a large supply of mangoes during this time of the year in Miami. I had been racking my brain for ideas on what to make with mango that I had never made before, and my brain reserves
I’m not sure how it works in other parts of the country, but Miami has a penchant for hiding snazzy little restaurants in place where you would least expect them to be. That’s where Olivos comes in. It’s a small Argentinian-fusion type restaurant located in a shopping plaza that contains one a very poorly organized grocery
Taste of the Caribbean, a culinary showcase and demonstration with various countries represented, returned this year. With it, Taste of the Islands also returned, a culinary display of tapas-style small bites from all of the competing teams. I missed last year’s event on account of going to a wedding, but I credit their 2014 event
Skip to Recipe I honestly don’t think that I need to say anything about this cake. The name says it all. But, I’ll say something anyway.

The time finally came for one of my most anticipated events of the year! Burger Battle returns for the 7th year in a row, and Burger Battle 2016 definitely did not disappoint.

Super Arepa, located around Kendale Lakes, is a counter-service joint that serves Venezuelan-style casual fare. As the name implies, their signature offering is the Super Arepa, an arepa (you remember what an arepa is, don’t you?) stuffed with your choice of meat, pico de gallo, grated cheese and special house sauce. I had heard Super
Skip to Recipe I have a love/hate relationship with coffee. While I like coffee-flavored things, I don’t actually like to drink coffee. Some people like that black, unsweetened concoction to just punch them in the face with caffeine. I, on the other hand, prefer to add enough sweeteners and flavorings that I almost forget that
Several years ago, I fully believed that I hated Indian food. My only experiences with curry up until them were from Jamaican food, which I never liked and convinced me that I hated all kinds of curry. When I tried actual, Indian curry, I found it to be nothing like Jamaican curry. In hindsight, I
