I made a quick recipe. It only has 3 ingredients, but it is delicious! (Recipe below) Ingredients: 350 gr Padrón Peppers 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar Add some salt if you fancy. Method: Cut the stem of the peppers, but leave the seeds, if some are hot, you want that on your jam 🙂 Wash and rinse Place in a pot with the sugar and vinegar and cover with a lid (or a plate, as…
Today is the Day of the Dead (or Día 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…
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,…
I’ve been in Madrid for a week before a gig and I came back to Galicia with a bunch of photos, some ideas, and my belly full. One of those ideas was this Tomato Steak. I’ve visited a nice place with good wine and food called Celso y Manolo in Chueca. Although I couldn’t eat there, I tried some of their wines. I inspected the menu, anyway, and found this interesting concept called “Tomato steak”. The plump, oversized, ripe tomatoes…
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….
I love baba ganoush. In general, I love spreads. Maybe it is because the bread I get here is the most incredible thing you can find. But, come to think of it, I actually I love spreads in any type of bread. With this one in particular, I would recommend a nice naan bread or any other that is not too crunchy. Although crackers are the typical go-to for baba ganoush, this creamier and sweeter version loves some fluffiness to…
Hey there! Maybe it’s because I’m in Barcelona right now and the weather is warmer than in the North, but I’m in the perfect mood for an Avocado Salad. You’ll make this recipe in 5 minutes, I swear. Ingredients: 1 avocado (per person) 1/3 red bell pepper 1/2 chile chipotle from a can (I buy mine in the supermarket) 1 shallot or 1/2 red onion 1 tsp olive oil A tiny bit of salt 1/2 lime (juiced) Some chives Cashew…
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…
It’s a fact now…Spring is coming tomorrow and the weather wanted to let us know.

Ingredients: 100 gr silken tofu 1 l water 4 tbsp korean miso paste Fermented cabbage or kimchi Scallions 1 century egg Method: Dissolve the miso paste in water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10…
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…
