Cassava arepas, crispy on the outside and tender in the center, topped with rich, slow-cooked pork belly.

A simple combination that brings together texture, comfort, and bold Latin American flavors. The crisp cassava, the richness of the pork, and the fresh toppings come together in every bite.

Small bites, big flavor.

Avocado mousse is all about texture, balance, and presentation. 🥑

That smooth, creamy texture creates the perfect base for a dish, while its vibrant color brings freshness and contrast to the plate. Whether paired with seafood, vegetables, or used as a sauce, a well-made avocado mousse can turn a simple preparation into something much more refined.

Great plating is not just about making food look beautiful. It’s about creating harmony between every element on the plate.

Original Argentine Chimichurri for your next steak 🇦🇷

A good chimichurri can completely transform a great cut of meat. Fresh, vibrant, slightly acidic, and packed with herbs, it’s the perfect companion for grilled meats, steak, chicken, or even vegetables.

My version includes:

Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Garlic, finely chopped
Roasted bell peppers, finely diced
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
Dried oregano
Red pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper

Mix everything together and let it rest for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can come together. The key is finding the right balance between acidity, herbs, heat, and richness.

Simple, bold, and made to be shared around the table.

A silky mushroom sauce is all you need to bring this dish together.

Today it’s paired with a perfectly seared pork loin, crisp asparagus, and the silkiest potato purée. (If you missed it, check out my previous video for the purée recipe.)

Mushroom Sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 250 g mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Optional: a pinch of thyme

Sauté the onion in olive oil over medium heat until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds before stirring in the mushrooms. Let them brown well without rushing them. Pour in the wine and reduce by half, then add the stock and simmer until the sauce naturally thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme if using.

Spoon generously over the pork and let every bite soak up those earthy, savory flavors.

Simple ingredients. Restaurant-worthy results.
