Summer is right around the corner, we can feel it. I can smell it and I can even sweat it. Yesterday the weather was so hot that even at 21:00 when I came back from a walk It seemed like August. Today, the same feeling. I decided to write this post on my phone, just because I wanted to sunbathe for a while. It’s Sunday, and although I don’t usually rest on Sundays, I couldn’t put myself to clean the…
I know that celebrating Thanksgiving is a bit of a controversial topic nowadays. I understand the underlying causes of the first celebration, but I also believe that giving thanks is a great excuse to celebrate. So, acknowledging that fact, I decided to incorporate pumpkin as an homage to Native Americans in my apple pie recipe this year. In Spain, Thanksgiving is something we don’t really celebrate. It’s become something known because of…
In Galicia we celebrate Samaín because we are Celts. That’s why I wanted to post a traditional Galician recipe we make for Halloween: Calacús (also known in Spanish as Chulas de calabaza) basically a pumpkin pancake 😁 The original recipe has a lot more sugar and is usually deep fried. But if I’m known for anything…that is reducing sugar and deep frying in my recipes. I’m not against eating anything, it’s just…
Tradition says that you have to bury a ring, a coin, a rag, a pea and a stick to do a fortune telling game during Samhain (best known nowadays as Halloween). Each piece will tell you if you would get married or not next year, or if you would be rich or poor. I’m known for being a very positive person, so I changed the game a bit. First of all beacuse I really didn’t want…
“Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields” 🍓 What’s better than a fresh ripe strawberry in your mouth while the sun is shining? I’ll tell you what…wild strawberries! I’ve always been a fan of wild strawberries. I remember my grandpa used to give them to me when I was a kid because they grew in the backyard of his country house (where I live in). The years went by and my fixation…
Do you like ice-cream? Do you like cakes and sponges? Do you like chocolate? Well, then you’ll like this recipe. I don’t usually eat any processed food, but my body needs some “bad stuff” every now and then to feel a little bit more human 😅 The recipe I bring you today is for those who love dessert and can’t say no to processed foods like ice-cream or sponge cake. I am bringing you those two things combined, but I’m…
Don’t panic if you don’t have time for making dessert this year. Just do me a favour, soak a cup of raw cashews right now. C’mon, go! Come back after you do it, I’ll be waiting for you here. Done? Now keep reading this post and make the cake in 15 minutes. You only have to soak the cashews 6 hours before, so you are safe. You can read this post, you can read a couple more posts from this…
I know, cacao and matcha, right? I’ve already caught your attention. I’ve made a video of the recipe. To know the exact quantities, keep scrolling. It was first featured in my first “What I Eat In a Day as a Musician” that you can also find here: Of course, some of you asked me for the recipe and I thought I’d be a better person if I shared it 🙂 I’m feeling kinder already. You’re welcome. I’m planning on making…
I’ve always been a great fan of reusing food you thought you were going to throw away. Bread is one of those things. There’s many countries where you can buy cheap bread that tastes incredibly, so whenever it gets old, you won’t be using it because it’s not worth it. We can buy baguettes here for less than 0,30€! I mean, that’s crazy. If I was going to make them, the ingredients and electricity would cost more. But stale bread…
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s and I posted a picture of a green doughnut on my Instagram stories asking if anyone wanted the recipe. Turns out, a lot of people wanted it. That’s a good sign, we’re still eating bad food for us, but at least we want to make it ourselves! Jokes aside, here is the recipe. By thew way, I used apricot colouring because it was an Irish related recipe and I wanted some orange, white and green. You can…
