Good day everyone! And Merry (anticipated) Christmas! I didn’t want to en 2024 without publishing a Christmas recipe here in the blog.

Last week I published this beautiful recipe: Strawberry layer cake.     This week I wanted to bring you a cake recipe, but with savoury flavours.     I’ve always ben a fan of off-colours and off-flavours. You know, like when you’re watching a TV series and they change the colours of something that always has the same colour.     I love that. Remember Super Mario? Yoshi has always been a character that makes me want to play videogames….

Thanksgiving Apple and Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving Apple and Pumpkin Pie

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…

Halloween 2020 series: Barmbrack. Fruit cake with hidden fortune-telling beans.

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…
