Chipilín Soup with Masa and Fresh Cheese Dumplings
I have a thing for soups. Doesn’t matter what time of day, what season of the year, what place I’m in, if I want tasty comfort my entire self craves a big bowl of soup. As far as soups go, I have concocted some, I religiously repeat some I grew up eating, and then there…
Mushroom-Jalapeño Matzo Ball Soup
My grandfather on my mother’s side, Francisco, whom we called “Yeye,” was wild about chiles. Not very common in his native Bratislava, I guess.

Despite the many pounds of avocados we go through at home each week, regardless of the infinite number of cases I use for events…
Foods of Michoacan are Forever
You know how some people become attached to a certain dish? They try it somewhere once and then want to go back to eat it again and again, or they make it at home repeatedly in an until-death-do-us-part kind of vow? Well, I am one of those people, and I have made that vow with…
