If you’re an expat living in Buenos Aires, sometimes those funny cravings can creep up on you when you least expect. Maybe it’s grandma’s oatmeal or chocolate chip cookies, some homemade brownies or nonna’s anise biscotti that you just can’t get out of your head.

Like me, you may have even hit some of the most prestigious restaurants in the city and even though you have discovered some exquisite treats that could shake the foundations of the queen’s pastry chef on any given day, and yet we still miss that special comfort food from home.

Fellow ex-Chicagoan Frank Almeida and his wife have created a prosperous business selling their gourmet cookies, biscotti, cantucci and brownies. Frank is of course a wonderful spokesperson for his own company and regularly updates his clever and insightful blog about everything that relates to his company, life and family here in Buenos Aires. From a marketing standpoint, as a small business owner, he is doing everything right. From the blog to the website, from his great presence in the BA Expat community to his otaku for the product - from the customer service all the way down to everyone who has tried his gourmet products and wholeheartedly recommends them to their friends (and anyone who is listening for that matter) - Sugar and Spice is creating an amazing brand.

So kudos to you, Frank - for showing that a smart business practice can be successful in Argentina and thank you for bringing us the great flavors from home.
