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!
