It’s almost Xmas Eve! Whaaaat? A year has happened since last Christmas and I feel like it’s been four years at least. I’m sensing I’m not the only one that feels that way, am I right? 😂 #2020 I’ve decided to take it easy for the Christmas season on the blog because I still need some rest from all the work I’ve done in the past couple of months. Too much work, plus a lot of complications along…
Happy Christmas to you all! I made a trifle for Christmas Eve. Here in Galicia (and I think everywhere in Spain) we celebrate the day before Christmas, apart from Christmas day. I made a pear trifle with Christmas spices and candied fruit. The house still smells delicious from making the candied fruit. If you have never done it…do yourself a favour and try. The flavour is amazing, but the smell is incredible. I couldn’t make my own sponge because my…
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,…

Also, if you do smaller portions, they are perfect for…
On Friday we had a great gig at La Fábrica de Chocolate in Vigo. Well, I say great, but appart from that it was kind of mental. Two people fainted at the beginning, and it was kind of difficult to stay concentrated. After the gig I could talk to Ana, one of them, and she was feeling better. I hope Dani, the other guy, feels OK now because I couldn’t talk to him after the show. Some made jokes comparing…
Here’s another comforting winter recipe. I’m starting to get familiar with savoury porridges, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve always liked sweet porridge and being able to develop new textures while cooking is extremely amusing. Here you are: my first official savoury porridge recipe. You can choose your own toppings and marinade for the chicken, but these I’ve used worked great. Ingredients (makes 1 bowl): 1 pint of stock (I used leftover stock from another recipe) 100 ml milk…
Oh, St Valentine’s day…a special occasion for loving people and indulging on chocolate! What? Isn’t that the point of celebrating love, eating chocolate? Well, I’m not a sweet tooth but I enjoy chocolate, as well as many sweet treats, every now and then. For this St. Valentine’s day, I bring you the whole menu for a special meal that is healthy and decadent at the same time. Also, it is a light meal, in case you need to do some exercise…
