I know that celebrating Thanksgiving is a bit of a controversial topic nowadays. I understand the underlying causes of the first celebration, but I also believe that giving thanks is a great excuse to celebrate. So, acknowledging that fact, I decided to incorporate pumpkin as an homage to Native Americans in my apple pie recipe this year. In Spain, Thanksgiving is something we don’t really celebrate. It’s become something known because of…
This is going to be a long post. I know that for some of you plant-based means vegan (aka products that don’t harm any animal) But what does vegan mean to you? Apparently every word means something different for everyone these days. It’s OK. I understand the food industry is trying to bring up new terms in order to get more people happy. Vegan has becom e biased for some people and plant-based seems to be a good replacement. Although…
Have you ever tried hummus? I bet you have. Nowadays, hummus is practically everywhere and I’m so thankful for that. The first time I tried it my aunt made it for me. She’s been a vegetarian forever and I think I’ve already told you she’s a great cook. I remember I fell in love with the recipe and ate almost the whole recipe she made for four people. I also remember my stomach aching after that and saying “I would…

Hey! I made this Artichoke Focaccia the other day. I used fresh veggies and homemade dough, but you can easily make it with cupboard ingredients. Ingredients: Pizza dough (approximately 3 cups of flour for 1 cup of water, 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp olive oil) 3 big artichokes, boiled (or artichoke hearts from a can) 4 roasted piquillo peppers (I used homemade preserved piquillos, but you can use any other red pepper from a can, or even raw) Salted…
I’ve decided there’s no Christmas unless there’s a turkey on the table. I mean, I’ve been doing that for a long time now. The thing is…I don’t have a proper oven (yet). I have a new kitchen and I still have to buy an oven, but meanwhile I’m still using my good old small oven. Why haven’t I bought a bigger oven yet? I haven’t found one that I really liked. If you have any suggestions, please let me know,…
Hey there! I haven’t been able to update this web with recipes lately because I haven’t been cooking a lot, basically. The other day, I went to the doctor, a week after a car accident. I am better than I expected, but my neck is making me rest for a while (presumably a couple of months until I am 100% as I was before the accident). I’m not in a rush, but the first thing I asked the doctor was:…
I’ve started running (again but seriously). The other day I had in mind a veggie risotto for lunch so I went for a long run to a supermarket. When I arrived, my body thought about the risotto and laughed at me. I needed meet and bread. I am a wise woman 🙄 so I didn’t contradict my body…I know I should listen to whatever stupid decision it makes. So I bought chicken breast fillets and bread. When I headed home,…
I’ve been in Madrid for a week before a gig and I came back to Galicia with a bunch of photos, some ideas, and my belly full. One of those ideas was this Tomato Steak. I’ve visited a nice place with good wine and food called Celso y Manolo in Chueca. Although I couldn’t eat there, I tried some of their wines. I inspected the menu, anyway, and found this interesting concept called “Tomato steak”. The plump, oversized, ripe tomatoes…
My neighbours are too kind. They planted Padrón peppers and they are constantly giving me bags full of these wonderful veggies. I’m so grateful! The thing is, on their own, they are perfect. Nonetheless, I started fooding around with them. The result is this superquick recipe you can enjoy hot or cold. The Fergese it’s a hot recipe, but I love to prepare it and then have a cold bruschetta of the mixture before I put it in the oven….
