Who could have thought that a simple tomato soup from a hotel room service can be so inspiring? Moreover, it is not everybody’s favourite gazpacho, but HOT tomato soup. And to be honest, I’ve always looked quite sceptically at hot tomato soups as they often taste like ketchup. Don’t they?…

Apart from the most incredible steaks, Buenos Aires has the most fantastic artisanal ice cream. Yesterday I was walking in the trendy Palermo area and you can see “heladeria” on almost every corner. Above is the picture of my copious portion of “dulce de leche” and fresh melon ice cream.…

It’s one day I am in Buenos Aires and I absolutely love it. It is not exactly how I imagined though – Buenos Aires is very European. Of course, I knew that it is the most European city in South America, but, still, I thought it will be something like…
