Pear and Orange Trifle with Christmas spices

Pear and Orange Trifle with Christmas spices

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…

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

I’ve started running (again but seriously). The other day I had in mind a veggie risotto for lunch so I went for a long run to a supermarket. When I arrived, my body thought about the risotto and laughed at me. I needed meet and bread. I am a wise woman 🙄 so I didn’t contradict my body…I know I should listen to whatever stupid decision it makes. So I bought chicken breast fillets and bread. When I headed home,…

Lugo Tapas Contest

Lugo Tapas Contest

Isn’t it ironic? A city where they offer you a free tapa with each drink anywhere holding a contest in which you have to pay for the tapas. Well, maybe not ironic, but your belly has to be ready for something like that. I’ve visited the city twice while this happened, they still offered you the free tapa even after ordering a paid one. I really wanted to try as many places as possible. It wasn’t possible to try more…

Galician Fergese: Superquick recipe

Galician Fergese: Superquick recipe

My neighbours are too kind. They planted Padrón peppers and they are constantly giving me bags full of these wonderful veggies. I’m so grateful! The thing is, on their own, they are perfect. Nonetheless, I started fooding around with them. The result is this superquick recipe you can enjoy hot or cold. The Fergese it’s a hot recipe, but I love to prepare it and then have a cold bruschetta of the mixture before I put it in the oven….

Asian Food in Coruña’s new restaurant Koh Lanta

Asian Food in Coruña’s new restaurant Koh Lanta

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…

Medieval Fair: Don’t break character and eat like they did back in the Middle Ages

Medieval Fair: Don’t break character and eat like they did back in the Middle Ages

I love Medieval fairs, Renaissance fairs or any other themed fair that is supposed to be a recreation of another period of time I haven’t been able to live. Of course, I appreciate them more when they are so well done that you feel awful for not being dressed up. That is not the case of the one I’ll be talking about in this post. I am fascinated by how they sell anything that is handmade (not always, though) even…

Ruxe Ruxe (Vigo)

Ruxe Ruxe (Vigo)

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…

Forum Gastronòmic 2017

Forum Gastronòmic 2017

Two years ago, I saw some adverts announcing Forum Gastronòmic in Coruña. I had’t been there the previous month because I had to work, so when I saw the dates, my heart broke. I couldn’t go. So I waited for two long years hoping they bring it back to my city (with some thoughts of going to Girona or Barcelona where it is celebrated as well, but always work got in the middle). Finally it was February 2017 and I…
