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…
A Winter wouldn’t be complete without chicken noodle soup. This basic recipe has everything you need to get cosy and warm in the last days of winter. It is pretty simple if you use premade noodles, a little bit more complicated if you make them yourself (but much better and rewarding) Ingredients: 1 chicken carcass (remove the meat and use for other recipes, except for some that you will need to add on top of the soup) 3 garlic cloves…
Here’s another comforting winter recipe. I’m starting to get familiar with savoury porridges, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve always liked sweet porridge and being able to develop new textures while cooking is extremely amusing. Here you are:Â my first official savoury porridge recipe. You can choose your own toppings and marinade for the chicken, but these I’ve used worked great. Ingredients (makes 1 bowl): 1 pint of stock (I used leftover stock from another recipe) 100 ml milk…
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…

One thing I love about making big batches of recipes is leftovers. I enjoy thinking about what should I do eith whats left after one meal. Here I give you a couple of ideas that you can do with my Vegan Haggis recipe (you can find it here). Vegetarian Scotch Eggs Ingredients: 2 cups or vegan haggis 2 eggs Breadcrumbs Olive oil or any other vegetable oil for frying Maldon salt Cheddar Branston pickle or any other brand of your…
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. Ingredients: 1 cup of dried pinto beans 1/4 cup dried azuki beans 1/2 cup barley 1 red onion 1/2 white onion 3 carrots 500gr mushrooms (you can use any type, or combine 250gr portobello…
Ireland. The land of Guinness, rain, butter, potatoes and music. Probably the best description one can ever give. I already said I’ve been spending Christmas in Ireland for a long time now. Well, except for the Guinness, my Christmas are pretty much those things: rain, butter, potatoes and music. And as far as music is concerned, I couldn’t be happier. This year was a bit different from others. We always take part in a benefic event on Christmas eve to raise…
I’ve been travelling to Ireland by car for half a decade now, and I still love it. I think it has something to do with being a musician. I’ve always loved being on the road, staying awake for hours driving, stopping at cities you can’t remember the name of and, of course, eating regional food. Two days ago, one of those cities was Tours, in France. I’ve always wanted to stop there, but never actually did because we were to…
