So, it’s Sunday again, and after the delicious recipes we know you’ve tried out in the previous six days of the week; we found out about 5 bites that can give a highlight to your seventh one.

 

Frog Legs

They taste, look, and can even smell very similar to chicken but with a sweeter smell. Taste them deep fried as Lousiana style, and you’ll be hopping in one leg before you finish them.

 

Bouillabaisse

 

If you where thinking of having some gourmet tuna, you may combine it into a delicious mix of sea-robin, scorpion fish, red guard, conger, monkfish, octopus, sea urchins and other treasures from the sea that you feel tempted to mix with it.
If you ask us what more can we put on it… we will throw some of the Tonnino Classic in there.

 

Tamale

A boiled wrap of masa (corn-based, starchy dough) original from the mesoamerican cultures. You can fill it with whatever you want; cheeses, meats, fruits, vegetables, and if you want our recommendation… any gourmet tuna in a jar will go great with it :D

 

Gumbo

From a giant pot directly to your plate. It’s basically a combination of rice and a very special broth made from crab, lobsters, duck, quail, and chicken. And if you’re in the mood of making your gumbo superspecial… Why Not?  Add some Tonnino Jalapeño to it.

Balut

 

Ok, maybe it’s really difficult to get one in the U.S, but we thought it was nice to point out the dish exists. It is a boiled duck egg which in Asia is considered a true delicatessen for foodies. And we think that eating a little duck inside its own egg can be a real gastrosophic highlight for your week.

So, as a bottom-line, we leave you with a little reflection:

If you think of Sunday as the end of the week, try one of these dishes for having the perfect week closure. Or, if you think of Sunday as the start of the week, try out one of these dishes for starting it with your right feet.

Either way, we wish you a very delicious week! Bye!

You know that something tastes incredible, when a thing like “not being able to buy it for whatever reason“ isn’t enough to stop foodies´ tongues from enjoying its taste.
So, as a curious fact, we present what Marion Owen’s article on about.com refers to as “the poor man’s capers recipe“.

And even tough this is a proof that nothing can stand in the way of foodies and that piquant, delicious, and powerful taste… we just hope you do enjoy the real ones  :D

Here’s a new use for a thing you already have: Use a potato peeler to extract the capers out of the jar.
If you don’t see how it can help you in the kitchen, maybe we’re not explaining this right… so we invite you to watch and learn from Chef Remy’s short and simple video on how to get those powerful and tiny buds out of their big, or sometimes not so big, glass house.

Forget about the bacon, the butter, and the toasts; there’s nothing more perfect than some “huevos fritos” for breakfast. Or at least that is what José Andrés, one of the best-known spanish chefs working in the USA, says.

Take a look at this article from the Dinning&Wine section of The New York Times, and marvel yourself with how using so little ingredients, so much deliciousness can “hatch” from an egg thanks to this marvelous chef. BUEN PROVECHO!

For some people making bread is all about the kneading, and for others, as long as it is really delicious, they don’t need it.
