Don’t you love how pretty colours are? I’ve always been fascinated by them. All of them. Since I was a little worm, I said my three favourite colours were blue, pink and yellow. Ain’t it funny how they are the only thing you need to create the rest of them? I’ve always been wise, even when I was ignorant of what primary colours were. Blue has always been an obsession in my life, though so whenever I have to choose…
I love this dessert. The good thing about it is that it is so energetic and so healthy that it makes a perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, dessert after lunch…you name it! The base is simple: bananas, peanut butter and cacao nibs. That’s it…the rest is up to your imagination. A couple of weeks ago, Lucía (a friend) and I decided that the best way to keep in touch was to meet for breakfast on Sundays. And I must say, we…
You know, when people eat meat they usually go to meat when they feel lazy to cook. Anything easier than throwing a steak on a pan and cook it for a couple of minutes? When people go vegan, they go for the easiest substitutes like veggie patties or seitan steaks. They are usually highly processed foods, so that’s a no-no for me. When people go plant-based and want to follow a healthy lifestyle, they go for tofu or tempeh,…
Ain’t it funny how life works? Usually I plan my blog posts. I think about a recipe and then I get ready to take the photos and make more than one crappy iphone pic in order to edit them afterwards and create a nice blog post for you guys and gals to read. Well, life is teaching us lessons all the time, I’m learning about forgetting about anticipation. People don’t mind how much time you spent doing something, they like…
Although it’s raining here today, I can hear the birds singing through my back door. Maybe it has something to do with me prepping the soil for the veggie garden (robins love hanging around me in order to catch some good worm breakfast), but it’s obvious Spring has settled in. May it’s a great month for new beginnings, specially now that the New Moon is coming. But what’s better for May when the Sun is shining and you crave fresh…
Once upon a time, Sílvia met Juan Carlos Perret, head chef of Kero. She tried his food in a gastronomic event where she was performing. She told him how she’d love to go to his restaurant but never could because whenever she was in Vigo, it was closed (Sunday is a bitch) He then told her he loved her music too, so they talked for a couple of minutes and there started a very beautiful relationship. Well, actually…not quite that….
My mum used to make a zucchini soup recipe that I loved. I still do, so I cook it that way almost every time I make zucchini soup. But this time I really wanted to do a different zucchini soup. Because, you all know that feeling of realizing you’ve been making the same stuff over and over again. Although you like making the same things, you also crave that feeling of going out of the habit and doing something different….
Hey there! I really was waiting until February to start writing agoin in the blog because I’ve been trying new ways of eating and I wanted to be sure how I felt about it before writing about it. Well, this post isn’t about that, so don’t worry. I’m here because you asked for this recipe, and I am proud you want it because it means a lot that you are willing to try new vegan and plant-based versions of traditional…
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…
I’ve read a lot about how easy it is to do something if you form a habit. That’s why I hate new year’s resolutions done in January. I have a lot of resolutions, but I don’t feel like the first day of the year is going to be the best day to start. Why? Well, you probably stayed up later than usual, you might be hungover if you drink alcohol and if you are, like most people, a food lover…you’ve…
