Javier Larroquet

Javier is regularly extracting his thermos so that he can consume his traditional mate (Argentinian tea), where ever he goes. He explains the ritual involved with mate and a little about those things from home that he's not able to bring with him.
Check out Javier's blog, where he writes about food and cooking in South America.
