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…
I’m in Barcelona now and I’ll be staying for a couple of days working. I’m going to try and visit some new places and I’m pretty excited about it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Clara Orozco (@claror) A month ago, we were touring with Glen Hansard and one of the places we went to was Barcelona. I was so grateful, because it’s one of my favourite places to visit. I knew I wanted to visit Lomo…
The other day I told you about Ruxe Ruxe in Vigo. Today, I want to talk about another restaurant in the same city, Mijo Minibar. The night before an amazing gig in Vigo, I couldn’t sleep. You can blame it on stress if you want, but I have the nicest type of insomnia, the one that comes in the morning. Sometimes, I simply wake up because I hear a noise at 5am and I can’t sleep again. It doesn’t bother…
The other day I shared a step by step recipe through Instagram Stories. It was fun to cook and share pictures at the same time. In the end I asked if someone wanted the recipe and some of you asked for it, so here it goes: Ingrendients: 2 beef cheeks 4 big onions 4 garlic bulbs 4 big chillies 6 carrots 6 potatoes unpeeled 500 ml red wine 750 ml water 1 beef stock cube (I use OXO) A splash…
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…
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…
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…
I remember the first time I went to Murcia was after a gig in Cabo Roig with Paddy Casey. We went there for one night and stayed a whole week. I’d like to blame Paddy’s charm. I don’t know how he does it but we keep postponing life whenever we’re near him. Of course, I’d like to make clear i’m saying this in a very good way. I had some friends there, in Murcia, and I remember one of them…
Although I’ve never been a fan of all-you-can-eat restaurants, I’ve always found a great comfort in buffet breakfast at hotels. I think it reminds me about my childhood when I used to travel to exotic countries with my parents. That moment of the day was my favourite part, no matter where in the world. I remember a hotel in Tunisia, where I discovered the difference between soft and hard boiled eggs could be a matter of minutes. They labeled…
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…
