Today is the Day of the Dead (or DÃa de los Muertos as they say in Spanish). This Mexican tradition is known everywhere in the world. I always enjoy celebrating anything, even when I learnt about it two days ago (not in this case, but happens to me all the time). Celebrations are excuses to investigate on other people’s traditions, learn and of course cook something different. Today I made tacos for lunch and I’m cooking tacos for dinner right…
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about one of my restaurant experiences. This is a good one for two reasons: I went twice and it’s Asian. It was my mum’s birthday a while ago and we all went to celebrate to Koh Lanta, a new restaurant in Coruña. I’ve taken a while to write about this because I’ve been busy with other stuff I had in mind, but I think it’s about time because their food is worth taking the…

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…
This breakfast goes to my father. The food itself is a pun on us both (papa-ya has his name on it and we are both kind of nuts 🤗) Because now that I have breakfast alone almost every day, I miss those mornings in which both of us had that warm glass of milk before we left for school. Those days before I had to stop having a glass of milk because I sing. Those days when I woke up…
It’s pancake day, and how am I celebraring it? Yes, you guessed! By cooking and eating pancakes! This recipe is the Galician version of crêpes. They are called differently depending on the region, but in my family (and in most places) they are called filloas. It’s tradition to make them on Shrove Tuesday with the leftover broth from making Galician Stew. They can be done with broth, milk or half broth and half milk. In my family when we were…
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…

I’ve been waiting for this day a whole year. It’s not that I can’t cook Vegan haggis every week, but just cooking it on Burn’s night…that’s what makes it aspecial. This year I tweaked a bit my previous recipes and I think it was a win-win.
