So Original, but So Delicious: The Greek Salad

This is my favorite salad. Fresh ingredients with a simple dressing made of red wine vinegar and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Seasoned with Salt and Pepper...that's it! Especially with me trying' to be health conscious now, this is a great start. Of course, I don't get to eat it at the restaurant...lol. But making this for guest, is a great thing, to know you are doing' something right. Plus, since we are a Fresh Mediterranean restaurant it makes sense :)

Beef Tartare

This is already a dinner classic at the W Hotel on South beach. Beef TarTare with a fresh quail egg that we crack open and place on top. Then we serve it with five condiments, capers, piquillo peppers, fresh minced garlic, chives and diced shallots.

Tuna Tacos

These are so simple, yet Delicious! The Soy Sesame Sauce comforting to me, since i do like Asian Ingredients and it's simplicity is great, because it's so light and stick to basic ingredients.

Sugar Addict...

I'm working on my Nutrition Science Degree. And of course, on this journey, there are a few things that I am going to need to work on... One of those things, is of course my sugar intake! How can I be a Professional Registered Dietitian without following what I preach? So I will as well, take you on this journey as I try to change my eating habit....

This is a video that I found yesterday on YouTube.com.

Tuna Tartare

Tuna Tartare, yup, can't get enough of it. I would say, this has to be the first restaurant in all that I worked at, that I've been so excited of the food. I guess, cuz it's traditional food, but more on the healthy side, and they all have a unique twist. And of course my co-workers make it awesome to be there.

Fresh & Crisp Flatbread at W Hotel South Beach.

Cooked before your eyes, and a huge 500 degree dome stone oven.

It was awesome I told them to put everything on mine. I had a chorizo, serrano ham, black Spanish olives, bell pepper and roasted tomato flatbread. Later one of the chefs made another for himself, this time it was with goat cheese and bell peppers.

It doesn't matter which way you have it, the food is so fresh, it's just amazing to your palette.

You can't miss out on something like this. Plus making the pizza dough itself was a great learning experience. I've done pizza dough before, but this was a totally different recipe, and much easier as well, but gives an amazing texture after cooked. It's so crispy!

I really am loving working the the W Hotel in South Beach, I've learned so much in the past few weeks, as if I was in a fast track class. Hey, experience is where you learn, really learn!

(Wanna make your own flatbread? Check out my old blog "Flatbread in the Making!". Just go down the side panels on your right and find "Read by Category" and click on "dough")

Salmon Carpaccio: W Hotel South Beach

I love sushi, but this is a twist. Mediterranean style! Thinly sliced salmon drizzled with a sesame soy type dressing...I'm not gonna lie. When i tasted the dressing, as simple as it can be, it was very well balanced. The mache really matches the delicate fish.
