I know I’m late. I mean, the Epiphany was celebrated yesterday and I’m posting this today…But let’s be honest, 99% of you bought the cake yesterday and were not willing to make it yourselves. I was like that a couple of years ago, it’s more convenient. But I love making food, and I want to bake more, because I’m not very good at it. And I think I won’t ever be good at it, because I never follow recipes. For…
I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved eating cheese in New Year. Maybe it’s because we are all cheesaholics in my family, but also because it’s very convenient: you just have to plate them and they are delicious. Tips for the perfect cheeseboard: Choose a blue cheese. I really love blue cheese. Sometimes, if the cheeseboard is big enough I add two or three types of blue cheese. If I had to pick one, I’ll go for a Stilton…
Hey there! Here’s my anual Christmas carol. Merry Xmas 🙂 Have fun and keep fooding!
Have you ever wanted to make a non-traditional Christmas dinner? Then, this post is dedicated to you. Unless you are Mexican, then…this is probably a little bit more traditional for you than for the rest of us 🙂 Ingredients: For the tacos: 500gr piece of ham/gammon 1 can of chipotle chilies in sauce 4 tbsps Mic’s chilli sauce (choose your favourite level of heat) 2 shallots Corn tortillas Fresh cilantro For the drink (each glass): 100 ml nopal juice…
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…
I’ve decided there’s no Christmas unless there’s a turkey on the table. I mean, I’ve been doing that for a long time now. The thing is…I don’t have a proper oven (yet). I have a new kitchen and I still have to buy an oven, but meanwhile I’m still using my good old small oven. Why haven’t I bought a bigger oven yet? I haven’t found one that I really liked. If you have any suggestions, please let me know,…
Since 2012 I’ve been celebrating Christmas apart from my family and friends. Apart from what I considered tradition and apart from typical Spanish Christmas food (which by the way, I took with me every year since then, but you get the point, right?). This year, only a couple of weeks ago, I had a car crash. It has stopped the streak of years celebrating Christmas in Ireland, with all our friends and many more (You can read more here) I…
One year ago today, I started my Instagram account (a day after this website) as a way to share my passion for food. I was sleeping in a hospital room and thought it was the perfect moment to start this project. Today I have a neck injury due to a car accident that could have been much worse. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sílvia Fooding 🥑 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) I hope next year I…
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…
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…
