Franco File Friday: Cristina of From Buenos Aires to Paris

Since I spend a lot of time online, whether to write, read, pin or tweet, I look to blogs for a sense of escapism. Often this is achieved via travel and food blogs that offer both inspiration and effortless entertainment, in one nicely packaged corner of the web.

After following Cristina’s delicious culinary adventures on her award-winning blog From Buenos Aires to Paris for almost a year, I finally had the chance to meet her last Spring at an event and I spoke to her about growing up in Argentina, attending pastry school in France (and competing with students half her age!), veering into photography and learning to cook like the French – an ambition which she suspects will always be a work in progress.  Her photography is spectacular, her recipes are mouth-watering, and her approach is outgoing. Looking to add a bit of Argentinian flair to the Paris landscape and wanting to take her skills in the kitchen to the next level, Cristina launched her own catering company last year, Menu Malbec. Whether she’s in Paris exposing locals to her culinary traditions, traveling the world or returning to her roots in Buenos Aires, Cristina is a steadfast Francophile!
