Food - and daily bread, and art, and magic. Chefs and ... architects know this best of all. Cooks understand why: food is their profession. However, after talking with the architects, you understand that food is part of their profession too: they create the sacred zones of kitchens and dining rooms.
What is usually dryly called the wishes of the customer is a whole complex of characters, habits, feelings, preferences. There are customers who want guests from the main hall to go straight to the main dining room with a huge table and a huge number of chairs. Someone imagines the dining room as part of the open space, someone wants to see it small, intimate, and as far from the kitchen as possible so that the cooking process does not interfere with the poetry of the feast ... There are an infinite number of individual solutions. But everyone agrees on one thing: in each dining room there is a table at which family members and friends gather and which is why you want to serve especially beautifully. Thinly, with invention, it is interesting that homemade dishes look special there.
In this room, in our serving, are two of the most popular dishes of Argentinean cuisine: asado and jamon de pato salad. It is better to take classic white dishes (the most up-to-date option is porcelain with a fine platinum finish). Flowers are an obligatory serving item. Today it is very fashionable to use our, Russian garden buttercups, gypsophila, thin branches of trees. In the "Latin American" history muscari and anemones will very nicely set off exotic dishes.

Marina Levina, "El Gaucho": "The business card of Argentine cuisine is juicy beef, grilled parilla, as well as delicious empanadas patties and corn dishes such as Humitas. Modern Argentine cuisine is very different from what was cooked, say, 30-40 years ago. It dynamically develops, absorbs The new fashion trends of Europe, in particular Spain and Italy, are in themselves. The salad I present to your attention is a duet of spring and sun, which is so characteristic of all dishes of Argentinean cuisine. The main feature of this light salad is Hamon. In Argentina, ham is traditionally made from pork, but we suggest using jamon from a duck. This gastronomical novelty was first loved by guests who did not eat pork for religious or other reasons, and later it became one of the favorite dishes of almost all of our guests. "
