A Recoleta Hideaway
Recoleta Cultural Centre (Centro Cultural Recoleta) - Buenos Aires, Argentina Buenos Aires has long been one of my favorite cities. The stunning architecture, great meals and sultry tango make this city a divine place to visit throughout the year. It never really gets cold here, although the Argentines may think it does in the winter: which is our summer given that they are on the other side of the equator. There are lots of great hotels and apartments for rent in a number of lively neighborhoods. I have loved spending time in the various Palermos, contiguous areas named for the film industry and other businesses. buenos aires, argentina, 03 November 2022: people walking on the street in the popular Soho Palermo ... More neighborhood However, probably my favorite place to stay is in Recoleta, home to the imposing cemetery where Eva Peron is buried. It is trendy, upscale, safe and walkable. It is also home to numerous restaurants open at all hours of the day. The entrance to the hotel. One of the nicest places, with a great restaurant, that I have stayed there is the Loi Suites. It's a business hotel that covers all the culinary bases with intense local beef and lighter fare like salmon. So, I recently sat down with executive chef Dario Galizia to find out more about how he caters to locals and guests. All responses have been edited and condensed for clarity. Liza B. Zimmerman (L.B.Z.): How does your menu feature the classics of Argentine cuisine? Darío Galizia (D.G.): By blending Argentine flavors with Mediterranean and international cuisine. L.B.Z.: Which of the dishes show the most Spanish versus Italian influence? D.G.: The pasta dishes are more focused on Italian cuisine, and the tapas and some of the chef's suggestions are Spanish. Our cuisine clearly emphasizes Mediterranean cuisine, but we also offer Argentinean dishes. Sweetbreads with potatoes and tomatoes. The stuffed pastas that have become the most popular in our culture through Italian immigration are: ravioli, tortellini, agnolotti, malfatti, lasagna and cannelloni. With different types of fillings—spinach orchard, ricotta or mozzarella, different types of cheese, and meats—chicken, lamb, beef or fish—there are many varieties and styles, from more traditional to more gourmet. As for sauces, we always start with the three mother sauces: tomato, bechamel or cream and demi-glace. These can be combined with other garnishes such as mushrooms, seafood, nuts, fresh herbs and meats. Spanish dishes are most often found in chef's suggestions or at special celebrations. They might include beef cheeks, grilled octopus with an omelet, seafood casserole or paellas, mushroom, shrimp, or veal croquettes. L.B.Z.: What types of ingredients, preparations and dishes do you think of as classic in the lexicon of Argentine food? Executive chef Dario Galizia. D.G.: Meat is the most prominent product in Argentina: ribeye, sweetbreads and loin. Argentine cuisine is naturally characterized by the grill or the barbecue. There are many types of cuts and products cooked over charcoal. Empanadas of all kinds are also an important part of the cuisine. However, there are many typical dishes that are influenced by the predominantly Italian and Spanish immigrants. Pasta, for example, is very traditional, especially stuffed pasta. There are also several types of stews and casseroles, that originate from Spain. L.B.Z.: What types of sauces and spices are typical in the preparation and consumption of Argentine food? D.G.: Oregano, ground chili, garlic, parsley, cumin, sweet or hot paprika, vinegar and sunflower oil are some of the ingredients you can find in a chimichurri. If you want it to be spicy, add a few small chilies black pepper, Tabasco, or whatever you like. In any case, there are as many chimichurris as there are grilled meats in the world. L.B.Z.: What makes Argentine beef so spectacular? Beef with Malbec sauce. D.G.: The type of cattle breeds that were introduced from Europe adapted perfectly to our country, especially due to the type of our topography which features vast flatland with lots of food, which means that our cows do not have to walk too far to feed. This generates an almost perfect marbling between meat and fat and a soft muscle, which makes for tasty and tender meat. L.B.Z.: How do your county's wines pair with the food? D.G.: There are some combinations that never fail, such as Cabernet Sauvignon with red meat, Sauvignon Blanc with fish or seafood or Malbec with pasta.

Rachel Zegler packs on the PDA with mystery man as the pair kiss while watching Sabrina Carpenter's BST Hyde Park headline gig
Rachel Zegler packed on the PDA with a mystery man as they enjoyed a date night at Sabrina Carpenter's BST Hyde Park gig. The Snow White star, 24, has been staying in London while she stars as Eva Peron in Jamie Lloyd's reimagined adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical. And on Sunday, Zegler joined scores of fans as she danced the night away at pop star Carpenter's sold out gig. But she also appeared to debut a new relationship at the festival, as she was seen getting very cosy with a mystery man. Zegler looked effortlessly chic in a black lace mini-dress with an oversized leather jacket, with her new man hugging from her behind before they shared a kiss. MailOnline has contacted representatives for Zegler for comment. Her new romance comes eight months after rumours swirled she had split from her boyfriend of three years, Josh Andrés Rivera - though the pair never confirmed they had broken up. Rumours the West Side Story co-stars had parted ways began to circulate in November 2024 after fans noticed Zegler had edited Rivera out of photos on her Instagram feed. The couple began dating in 2021, after meeting on the West Side Story remake - for which Zegler won the role of Maria in an open audition aged just 16. Rivera played the character of Chino. Then in February 2022, Zegler hard launched their relationship on Instagram, but the post has since been deleted. The actors appeared to make their romance Instagram official on Valentine's Day that year when Zegler shared a black-and-white selfie photo of the couple on Instagram. 'Committing valen-crimes,' captioned Zegler, who went on to post video that showed Rivera feeding her during a romantic dinner: 'Happy love day from me n mine.' And in 2023, Zegler wished Rivera a happy birthday in May by gushing about him in the caption of a video that showed them staring into each other's eyes. 'You are everything I love about this world wrapped into one incredible man. Happy birthday, Joshua. In this life, I like just doing laundry and taxes with you.' After their West Side Story collaboration, the pair then featured together again on the Hunger Games prequel. Zegler's new man was seen hugging from her behind as they watched the show before they shared a kiss Zegler looked effortlessly chic in a black lace mini-dress with an oversized leather jacket Zegler took on the lead role of Lucy Gray Baird in the 2023 film The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, with Josh playing Sejanus Plinth, mentor of the male tribute of District 2. 'Never been prouder of someone in my life lemme tell you,' Zegler wrote on her Instagram Story when she shared the news of her boyfriend being hired for the prequel. 'Having a familiar face on any set, I think any young actor can attest, is the biggest form of comfort,' the actress told People at the time of her ex-boyfriend joining her on the film. 'And also as [Rivera's] girlfriend, his friend, and his coworker, it's amazing to see the trajectory of his career, and to witness his rise to stardom. I love him so much,' she added. 'I feel really lucky,' Josh chimed in. 'It was a really great source of comfort for me to have her with me so far away from home. 'Never been prouder of someone in my life lemme tell you,' Zegler wrote on her Instagram Story when she shared the news of her boyfriend being hired for the prequel 'We were in a different country. We got to explore that country together. It was absolutely lovely. I feel very fortunate.' Speaking to Elle in 2022 about Rivera, Zegler said: 'There's always this deep understanding of what I go through. 'Since [his experience was] on a different scale, he's able to bring me back to earth and tell me when it really doesn't matter. 'Because he's removed from it to a certain degree, he's able to just snap me out of it, and tell me to stop checking my phone, or remind me of what actually matters, and remind me to be present, and to not focus on the opinions of 3,000 faceless strangers on the internet.'

Milei Tries Erasing Argentina's History to Lure Foreign Investment
Javier Milei is trying to stamp out every vestige of Peronism, Argentina's dominant strain of populism, in his re-branding of the South American nation as a free-market haven. Images of Eva Peron were torn off the walls of government offices; statues of the late Nestor Kirchner were carted out of the Senate and the social security agency; and just a couple weeks ago, a yellow crane ripped Kirchner's name off the facade of a giant Beaux Arts palace in downtown Buenos Aires like a dirty old band-aid.
