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…

The Good Cereal (Coruña) because cereal for breakfast is always a good idea

The Good Cereal (Coruña) because cereal for breakfast is always a good idea

I went to make some blood tests the other day. The good news is I don’t have anaemia anymore! The better news is…I went to The Good Cereal to have breakfast for the first time and it was: I really want to talk about breakfast and cereal. For those of you who have been following me for a while, or those who know me since I was a kid (Hi Mum, Grandma and Viví!) you know I love breakfast. My…

Plant-Based Lentils

Plant-Based Lentils

When I got sick a couple of months ago I knew I had to change my diet. Not that I was doing anything wrong. I wasn’t drinking or smoking, I was eating a lot of veggies, walking more than 10k every day (I couldn’t run because of a knee injury). What I mean is, I was what people would consider a healthy person. But the truth is, I really wasn’t. As always, my researcher soul made me look for answers….

Aubergines with Quinoa Salad

Aubergines with Quinoa Salad

The other day I had a gig. The first one after the surgery and I was pretty excited about it. As I always do, I made some food in advance to take with me. When you have a job like mine, you never know when you’re going to be able to grab a snack, have dinner or if you are going to eat anything after all.  This recipe is a salad inside a baked aubergine. It is so simple to make,…

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…

Empedrat: Summer Bean Salad.

Empedrat: Summer Bean Salad.

I feel like, with me, there’s always a story behind a recipe. I find this a charming thing about me and I believe it represents my true love for food. I don’t only remember the flavours, smells and beautiful colours of the things I’ve eaten, I also remember the experience, the company and of course the feelings when I ate that particular recipe for the first time, or any other remarkable time.     Yes, I have a good memory,…
