Thank you for visiting this blog. I hope that it will turn into a go-to spot for expats and Uruguayos alike who love good food and like to try new recipes.
The constant complaint I hear is that Uruguayan food is boring and lacks variety. I have made this complaint myself, vocally, and ad nauseum. Fortunately, I love to cook. The lack of variety here is somewhat balanced by the high quality of the raw ingredients to be found. We are fortunate to have weekly ferias offering a colorful bounty of farm-fresh produce. We also get beautiful eggs. If you have migrated from a first world country up north, you probably love these huge, orange-yolked eggs yourself because the ones you are used to from home pale in comparison. And let's not forget the meat. Uruguay is a country of carnivores for whom simply-prepared meat cooked over coals is akin to a national religion.
Come back for weekly posts about what's new in my kitchen as well as interesting posts from
other contributors about their creations and restaurant finds. I will also post guides about where to find ingredients and what they are called in Uruguayan Spanish. I hope not only that you will read this blog, but that you will make it your own too by commenting on recipes and contributing stories about your own culinary finds in Uruguay.
Buen provecho.
