Beetroot Carpaccio|PLANT-BASED·RAW·VEGAN·GLUTEN, SOY & NUT-FREE|

Beetroot Carpaccio|PLANT-BASED·RAW·VEGAN·GLUTEN, SOY & NUT-FREE|

No words to describe this recipe. I mean, look at it. It’s not my fault though…beetroots are amazingly beautiful. I’ve always liked them, but as a kid I must say I only ate them boiled. I love boiled beetroots, but they are so versatile that it feels unfair not to do them in different ways. Roasted would have been the obvious choice for me a couple of years ago, now I’m in love with the raw veggie. When you get…

Plant-based vs Vegan

Plant-based vs Vegan

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…

White bean & Seaweed Hummus, perfect for these Summer Nights

White bean & Seaweed Hummus, perfect for these Summer Nights

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…

Vegan Cottage Pie: A plant-based version better than the original.

Vegan Cottage Pie: A plant-based version better than the original.

  I’ve veganized one of my favourite recipes ever. I love Shepherd’s pie, and my aunt (who is a vegetarian) makes the best carnivore Shepherd’s pie without even tasting it. She’s an amazing cook, so don’t be surprised. I’ve called this one Cottage pie (which is only different from Shepherd’s because of the meat) because it seemed a bit more vegan-friendly. She’s always given me tips to make vegetarian recipes. One of her most repeated tip is: Instead of mincemeat…

Tomatoes are in season. Let’s bake them!

Tomatoes are in season. Let’s bake them!

It’s incredible the many things you can do with tomatoes. They are in season now and it’s one of my favourite seasons of all. Actually, I think they should add it to the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Tomato, Fall and Winter. Sounds good. I bring you a recipe that has already become a staple in my kitchen. Any tomato works in this recipe, but I like to mix them in order to get as many shapes as possible. If you are…

Food, in sickness and in health (Hospital IV)

Food, in sickness and in health (Hospital IV)

For over a month, I’ve been quite sick. I had to go to the hospital a couple of times and stay there for a while. I had surgery in order to solve the problem, which is something I don’t fancy too much on a Wednesday afternoon, as you can guess.     It’s been two weeks since the surgery and I feel much better now. I am walking at a normal pace, I am making my own food again (I…

Artichoke Focaccia

Artichoke Focaccia

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…

Tomato Steak

Tomato Steak

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…

On books, flowers and friendship

On books, flowers and friendship

It’s been a while since I’ve been complaining about St. Jordi’s tradition. For those of you who don’t know what it is about, St. Jordi is celebrated on April, 23rd. Tradition says women will get a flower as a present, while men will get a book. Ha! Yeah, sure, whatever. I know flowers are beautiful, and appart from being a bit allergic to some of them, I love getting flowers and plants as a gift. But, come on! Men get…
