When I got sick a couple of months ago I knew I had to change my diet. Not that I was doing anything wrong. I wasn’t drinking or smoking, I was eating a lot of veggies, walking more than 10k every day (I couldn’t run because of a knee injury). What I mean is, I was what people would consider a healthy person. But the truth is, I really wasn’t. As always, my researcher soul made me look for answers….
The other day I had a gig. The first one after the surgery and I was pretty excited about it. As I always do, I made some food in advance to take with me. When you have a job like mine, you never know when you’re going to be able to grab a snack, have dinner or if you are going to eat anything after all. This recipe is a salad inside a baked aubergine. It is so simple to make,…
I’ve veganized one of my favourite recipes ever. I love Shepherd’s pie, and my aunt (who is a vegetarian) makes the best carnivore Shepherd’s pie without even tasting it. She’s an amazing cook, so don’t be surprised. I’ve called this one Cottage pie (which is only different from Shepherd’s because of the meat) because it seemed a bit more vegan-friendly. She’s always given me tips to make vegetarian recipes. One of her most repeated tip is: Instead of mincemeat…
It’s incredible the many things you can do with tomatoes. They are in season now and it’s one of my favourite seasons of all. Actually, I think they should add it to the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Tomato, Fall and Winter. Sounds good. I bring you a recipe that has already become a staple in my kitchen. Any tomato works in this recipe, but I like to mix them in order to get as many shapes as possible. If you are…
I made a non-raw Poke bowl the other day. It’s very comforting, and although everything was cooked and then cool, it felt very warming. Ingredients: 1 cup of brown rice cooked 1/2 sweet potato 2 radishes 1 mackerel fillet or 1/2 cup of tofu in cubes 1 tsp soy sauce 1 tsp mirin 1/2 corn on the cob 1/2 avocado mashed with lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper 1 tsp nut butter (I used cashew) Lime wedges Method: Marinate…
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…
I made Vegan chocolate spread to celebrate World Nutella Day. Don’t get me wrong…it doesn’t taste like Nutella, that wasn’t my intention. I wanted to make something inspired by Nutella. Nevertheless, f you change the cashews for hazelnuts, it will remind you to the real thing. I just found it interesting to make a cashew and chocolate spread for the first time. I love the result, and I’ve been eating it all day. Ingredients (makes a small batch): 65…
I made a quick recipe. It only has 3 ingredients, but it is delicious! (Recipe below) Ingredients: 350 gr Padrón Peppers 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar Add some salt if you fancy. Method: Cut the stem of the peppers, but leave the seeds, if some are hot, you want that on your jam 🙂 Wash and rinse Place in a pot with the sugar and vinegar and cover with a lid (or a plate, as…
I’ve been in Madrid for a week before a gig and I came back to Galicia with a bunch of photos, some ideas, and my belly full. One of those ideas was this Tomato Steak. I’ve visited a nice place with good wine and food called Celso y Manolo in Chueca. Although I couldn’t eat there, I tried some of their wines. I inspected the menu, anyway, and found this interesting concept called “Tomato steak”. The plump, oversized, ripe tomatoes…
I know you know I’m a bit addicted to avocado. I bring you avocado toast today, because not everyone likes it on its own, like I do 🙂 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sílvia Fooding 🥑 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) I did this recipe for breakast, but these four different ways to combine avocados on a toast can be enjoyed any time of the day. Also, if you do smaller portions, they are perfect for…
