How To Make Espresso in A Stovetop Maker
Today is a big day. I will break my fast from coffee, my beloved coffee after 15 days. The intention was to only do 14, which was satisfied on Monday, but I miscalculated and thought it was yesterday. My partner in crime in this most ridiculous adventure -...

Big Head Cuban Capuchinos {Cabezotes de Capuchino}
That most sensual time of the year is upon on us. And so are Cuban capuchinos.
I relish in all things fall and winter. The layered clothes, the supple leather boots to keep my legs warm, the fuzzy sweaters to press up against those I'm hugging, the bare tre...

Of all the beans, peas and legumes known to this world, split green peas are my favorite. There is no potaje de anything that makes me happier than this green one right here. I've been enjoying it since I was a little girl and seem to grow fonder of it as ...

#FlanFridays: My Faves
I've made about 20 flans this week, so I need to take a breve break from all cream and caramel that's taken over my kitchen in the last few days. The smells have put me into a coma and if I smell any more, I swear the pounds will pack on to the very thighs...

#FlanFridays: Mojito
¡Hola! It's Friday and another flan creation for you. This one, though I was completely against the flavor, was a special request by a young Latino doing some fun, cultural things in the East coast... a road trip of sorts. His last stop is D.C. and in talk...

NOLA-Inspired #FlanFridays: Beignet {Buñuelo} Style
Next to Saturday's (because I observe Sabbath and take the lovely pleasure of not working for 24 hours, replete with rest and refocusing my energy), Friday's are quickly inching up to the day I wake up with an intense level of positive anxiety. It's happen...

#FlanFridays: Toasted Coconut & Rum Flan
Flan never gets old. Ever. It's such a fancy dessert that invites taste buds to get excited about textural newness -- at least for those that don't eat it regularly. This coconut one is not a new experiment here on Flanboyant Eats, but it is an altered ver...
