In the last few weeks I received many messages from different people in Argentina asking me to prepare some Argentine recipe for FMD. Since at the beginning of the year I promised that in 2018 I would make some of the recipes that you ask me, I decided to share a recipe inspired by Argentine cuisine.

Dulce de batata is a traditional dessert from Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, made from sweet potato, in my version I wanted to add squash to make it more original. I have used butternut squash, but you can also use different varieties. It is an easy dessert to prepare, delicious and 100% vegan, and is an excellent way to eat vegetables. I hope you like it 😉

It is also a versatile sweet since it adapts easily to the season simply by changing a few ingredients. These muffins, for example, are perfect for fall since sweet potato is seasonal at this time, and the combination with cinnamon is absolutely perfect.

I hope you like these muffins as much I do.

After more than a month and a half in Japan, I can say without a doubt that soba is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. Whether cold or hot, these delicious thin noodles are great. Also, what many do not know is that the word “soba” means buckwheat in Japanese, in fact, these noodles are usually made 100% buckwheat flour (although there are also mixed with common wheat).

These noodles, in their hot version, are usually served in a bowl of broth accompanied by different toppings that can change according to the season. As I am a lover of autumn (which is the current season in Japan), I have used the food of this season to create this excellent recipe for fall soba. It is a recipe that is easy to make and has a unique flavor. Especially recommended for cold days.

If you want to make the vegan version of this recipe, you would only have to change the 240 gr of meat for 1 cup of cooked beans.
