Orgullosa, verdad? The cuisine now reigns supreme. Very exciting.
Very interesting Nuria. I also enjoy browsing through your recipes this morning my girl:D
Good initiative on the CIA! What a coincidence, I was recently considering to cook a “trinxat”, one of the last recipes on Heidi’s blog 101 Cookbooks reminded me of it (funny enough a japanese recipe with cabbage!).
And also… I have a blog in English now besides the Spanish, will I end up developing 2 personalities? ;-)
Ho acabo de llegir!! Que bé!
Hauré de tornar al restaurant del CIA a Santa Helena, CA per menjar un bon plat català als USA! ;)
