Inspired by a food blog sent by a friend in San Francisco, mango & lime was conceived in August 2006 as Paula’s place to share recipes, restaurants and everything food in Miami with friends, family and whoever else is interested. It might not have happened without Chris’s suggestion and Andrew’s patience in helping me bring it to cyber-life.
Why food? Why mango&lime?
Food has been a passion of mine for some time. I’m not quite sure how it started or when, but it’s there and it needed an outlet.
I’m no professional (despite a brief stint in culinary school) but I am an enthusiast, curious about tasting, and eager to learn and experiment. That’s what this space is for, to chronicle where my curiosity leads me, and in the process share experiences, recipes and stories. My playground: Miami, the city I live in, a city that like many of my favorite dishes is a fusion of cultures, colors and tastes. A place that many may know best for its Latin and Caribbean cuisines but that in reality offers its share of other, equally good foods. But this blog won’t be exclusively about Miami and it’s food, it’s also about how I and those around me experience it, about food as ritual.
Paula,
Muy chevere el blog, me gusta como escribes. Ayer lo estuve mirando y se me abrió el apetito, recetas muy provocativas, dan ganas de irse a Miami. Cuando vengas espero que puedas escribir sobre sitios y comida en Houston.
Congratulations.
Great site. It’s about time Miami had a food blog such as this.
How cool! I didn’t realize this was you. Very well done. Spelling, photos everything very much above Miami’s normal mediocrity. What a great thing to do in your spare time! Let me know if you ever need a partner for one of you restaurant missions.
Have you been to that Peruvian place Salmon, salmon??!! Delicious!
Yesterday, I was at Little Saigon in North Miami. Good Vietnamese.
You didn’t know I was something of a gourmand did you??! Bueno. When my budget allows it.
peace and grease,
tocino
P,
This site rocks! I’ll have to hire you to do mine.
I’m volunteering to go restaurant tasting anytime. Or, hell, maybe I’ll have to cook some of my awesome Cajun grub so you can write about it.
I would also join you to do some taste testing around town!
I love trying new foods around Miami and very much have a broad expanse of likings for various cuisines, markets, delis, and just about anything related with food. I love your site. Contact me anytime!
