Soup Guru

I have been passionate about food in general and soup in particular from an early age. Some of my most cherished memories are both my grannies teaching me how to cook their classic recipes, being those my first steps in the kitchen.

Later on, travelling, other of my life's passions besides cooking, led me to discover a whole new world of flavours and ways to prepare, present and enjoy food. From street or food courts in Southeast Asia to the soup of the day in an Irish pub; from those fancy Michelin stars restaurants in Europe to a market seasonal menu in a tiny cozy Mediterranean restaurant; everything have been an inspiration to research and experiment in my kitchen. And soup have always been present among my favourites dishes from every culture.

Being born and raised in Argentina, having travelled (and eaten in sooo many places, nothing scares me!) quite a bit around the world and having lived in the Mediterranean Spanish coast for ten years now, my cooking style and taste in food is ever-changing and influenced by a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

However, good authentic ethnic food is hard to find in Spain, it is scarce and most of it is adapted to the local taste. That is why I started to cook it at home with great results and the help of some wonderful recipe books and food blogs from around the globe that were the kick-off.

My academic training and job as an agricultural engineer gave me good notions of the food-producing system, food groups and their nutritional information but I felt that some creativity was lacking in this picture, and then without mine even noticing it, I have found a path through cooking and this soup project have shaped up.

And now I just want to share it with you and I hope you will pop up to try and enjoy my recipes!
