Summer is right around the corner, we can feel it. I can smell it and I can even sweat it. Yesterday the weather was so hot that even at 21:00 when I came back from a walk It seemed like August. Today, the same feeling. I decided to write this post on my phone, just because I wanted to sunbathe for a while. It’s Sunday, and although I don’t usually rest on Sundays, I couldn’t put myself to clean the…
Tradition says that you have to bury a ring, a coin, a rag, a pea and a stick to do a fortune telling game during Samhain (best known nowadays as Halloween). Each piece will tell you if you would get married or not next year, or if you would be rich or poor. I’m known for being a very positive person, so I changed the game a bit. First of all beacuse I really didn’t want…
A year ago I was involved in a car accident. It was very scary mainly for three reasons: 1) It happened in France and I was supposed to arrive in London for our tour the next day. 2) Carlos tried to avoid the car from crashing four times, but the ice made it impossible to stay on the road. 3) The car got out of the road and turned on one side, making it incredibly difficult to get out of…

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…
One year ago today, I started my Instagram account (a day after this website) as a way to share my passion for food. I was sleeping in a hospital room and thought it was the perfect moment to start this project. Today I have a neck injury due to a car accident that could have been much worse. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sílvia Fooding 🥑 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) I hope next year I…
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…
