Corn Cream

If you wanna see some typical brazilian food, check here, for the The 30's Vegan Brazilian Food that I love!

Corn cream, a really yummie example!

polenta pie

Baked polenta pie topped with sliced tomato, mushrooms, and garlic, and assorted herbs. My first time making polenta from scratch - piece of cake! (or pie in this case)

POMx Tea

Refreshing teas that helped get me through the afternoon without keeping me up at night.

Full disclosure: POM Wonderful provided me with these samples.

mushroom ceviche, potatoes & guacamole, yuca fries

Mushroom ceviche and mashed potatoes with mustard seeds, topped with guacamole, with yuca fries and roasted red peppers on the side. From Entre Indyas in Salta, Argentina.

wine ice cream

Amazing dairy-free ice cream from Helados Miranda, in Cafayate, Argentina. Clockwise from the top, cabernet (red wine), torrontés (white wine), tuna fruit, and peach. They all tasted exactly as they should - as if having a sip of wine or a bite of tuna fruit or peach. Don't try too much of the wine flavors before driving - they pack a punch!

quinoa salad

An amazing salad of quinoa and oh so much more: apples, cucumbers, carrots, onions, raisins, lentils, barley, and parsley, with curry powder and paprika sprinkled on top. From the fabulous Entre Indyas in Salta, Argentina.

tuna fruit

Tuna fruit - the fruit from cactus. Just be careful not to chew the seeds!

quinoa soup, andean potatoes, mote provenzal

More Andean food from Tilcara, Argentina! This time from El Patio restaurant. Quinoa soup, mote provenzal (with garlic and parsley), assorted roasted Andean potatoes (each tastes different), and salad.

Andean potatoes, quinoa, beans, mote

Roasted potatoes (some of the dozen varieties that grow in the Andes), quinoa, beans, and mote (a type of corn). All from La Chacana, a restaurant in Tilcara, Jujuy province, Argentina.
