With temps dipping into the low 30s in SoFlorida, it’s a good time for Caldo Gallego and a glass of red. I prefer a Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina, like the Portillo (2008), pictured here.
Oh, and just a few words if you don’t mind…If you liked FOODalogue’s Sweet, Spicy + Smokey Asian Shrimp recipe, please cast a vote in the Iron Foodie challenge. It only takes a moment to follow these links, no registration required.
A perfect meal has multiple levels of flavor and textures, bright colors and tastes, and healthy(ish) choices. It's all about enjoyment. Enjoy the process, the presentation and the just rewards...eating!
I've always been a culinary improvisor which means I get my kicks out of recipe development. In the FOODalogue kitchen each meal is an adventure and the journey is as exciting as the destination. My favorite kitchen tools are imagination and intuition. I rarely look at a recipe, not even my own!
On these pages, I suggest food pairings and techniques to be experimented with...in your own kitchen...to your own spice levels...and to your preferred portion sizes.

I’ll make sure to go and vote for you right now. Good luck.
I see you are putting your new camera to good use Joan, this is a lovely shot. The dish sounds delicious too:D
Thanks for noticing Val.
Yeah, it was in the 30′s here in Dallas, too. Ridiculous. And I didn’t even have the Caldo Gallego! Sigh. It looks fantastic.
I forgot about this soup. One of my favoritos…off to vote…
Lower 30s? Wow, it’s almost like Mexico City. The good thing is that by noon we are back to the 60s and 70s
Great looking caldo!
There was a place on 23rd Street, El Quijote, that made THE best caldo gallego. This sure looks like it would be a contender.
Wow…that comment was a blast from the past! I spent a lot of time in El Quijote and it brought back some happy memories.
Interesting to hear that it’s cool where you are…what a great excuse to open the Argentinian red and enjoy this beautiful caldo gallego!
Looks great Joan…now that it’s slightly cooler in Florida it’s a perfect time to enjoy those Argentinian reds!
Looks great! Reminds me of the Greek Fricasse.
You took one gorgeous picture of that caldo gallego! Looks delicious, and so comforting. Mmmm.
