From France, the renowned chef Maru Botana (51) said that together with her family they are one of the many Argentines stranded by the passengers' stocks as a measure to delay the arrival of the Delta variant of coronavirus.

But from what he detailed it is understood that

many would like to be in his place

, not only to know the summer of the northern hemisphere in a French town.

"I'm in an aunt's house in Lyon, in the south of France," began the cook, who first explained that the house was "re pretty" and was "in the French countryside."

Later, he would reveal that

such a description of the house falls short

.

In dialogue with the program

Común y Corriente

, on

Radio 10

, the gastronomic entrepreneur also assured that she is there with her entire family and that they do not have a return date "because they are canceling flights."

He had to return on

August 7

but with the restrictions it was suspended, still indefinitely.

"

We are a band, it's re complicated,

" he said.

"A pity because it

is sad that you cannot return to your country

. It is

unusual

for this to happen, but you have to live it. I am apolitical and I feel that it is very difficult to govern the country, but I feel that there are many things that are very

special and rare.

"he outlined as a complaint.

She assured that she and her family must return for their jobs, schools and

many commitments

they have in the country.

"I

work to travel

, it is my pleasure, it is my prize. I prefer that than buying expensive clothes or any other

sa.

This situation is extremely difficult

.

I am positive and think that it will be solved and we will be able to return, "added Botana.

And followed.

"It makes me sad that when these things happen in Argentina it makes

you want to leave

. Why do they do this. A country that is beautiful and that I adore and I wonder why this happens," he insisted.

The castle aunt


However, when she said that her aunt (85 years old), owner of the house where she is with her husband and eight children, met her French husband in Pinamar, she gave more details about the place, and the description, at least, is an

incentive for the bitter drink

of not being able to return.

"This place where we are was a place where Napoleon's troops were staying. It

was a fort and it was made a castle,

" he revealed.

"So you are in a castle now?" The interviewers asked him.

"Yes," the cook replied very naturally.

As he said, the place has

15 rooms with two bathrooms per room

, plus a pool and tennis court.

"It's crazy, such a fairytale town ...

", he defined.

He also said that there is

a public garden

where there are from walnuts to zucchini, and that you have to go and harvest them yourself and then pay the cooperative that manages it.

"The town sells what it produces," he said while saying that

there are no greengrocers

for this reason.


His look of the pandemic

When asked how he lived through these nearly two years of pandemic, Maru said he had "

a pretty bad life

."

"Before the pandemic, both of my parents died in a space of eight months and they were two extremely hard years that I never imagined," he said.

He also said that since he spent

the Facu

(his son who died at six months of life for sudden death) feels that when they

hit the sorrows of life, make it up: "

As that I do not go to win

".

"I fully faced the pandemic

with my stores

. I could open because I was an essential worker, but honestly,

if I closed the stores, I would leave

a lot of people

on the street

. I started kneading and cooking like when I was 19 years old," he explained.

And he said that he was taking care of himself and his family.

"I worked hard, but I never stopped. I never felt that slow down. This year I am traveling a lot to Mendoza because I am working with CONIN,

with Abel Albino

, helping to finish a hospital that he is doing," he explained.

He said of the pandemic that they are hard blows.

"I feel that in Argentina people

got very sad and very bad, hopeless

, I try to get out of that. Everything I experienced, which hit me very hard, at this moment is '

I'm not going to fall back

'" , he concluded.

Maru Botana filmed herself sucking on ice and the nets exploded.

Instagram photo,

Snack had made headlines this year for a video in which he sucked on ice and went viral.

The expert in cakes and sweets - who herself had posted the material on her networks - took the repercussions she produced with humor.
