I'm an Argentine at heart, but have accumulated lots of international experiences. I've lived in several South and Central American countries, as well as the United States, Europe (Germany) and now China. As far as cooking, I like to carry on my grandmothers' legacies ;) They're a mix of everything, including Brazilian dishes. My favorite foods to cook are Italian, German, and (U.S.) Southern dishes, including casseroles and lots of baking in general. A Latin touch can spice things up, though! ...I am trying some Chinese dishes, but it's coming rather slowly. Stir- frying is not a preferred method. My dad is a master grill! Picnics and cookouts are the best! Baking is definitely a strong area, as well as soups or other one- dish foods. I love making it practical... Too much salt, when first married (my husband loves to still tease me about it)...Confusing baking powder and soda, although it was less of a tragedy ;)
