Plant-Based Lentils

Plant-Based Lentils

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….

Aubergines with Quinoa Salad

Aubergines with Quinoa Salad

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,…

Vegan Cottage Pie: A plant-based version better than the original.

Vegan Cottage Pie: A plant-based version better than the original.

  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…

Empedrat: Summer Bean Salad.

Empedrat: Summer Bean Salad.

I feel like, with me, there’s always a story behind a recipe. I find this a charming thing about me and I believe it represents my true love for food. I don’t only remember the flavours, smells and beautiful colours of the things I’ve eaten, I also remember the experience, the company and of course the feelings when I ate that particular recipe for the first time, or any other remarkable time.     Yes, I have a good memory,…

Tomatoes are in season. Let’s bake them!

Tomatoes are in season. Let’s bake them!

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…

Artichoke Focaccia

Artichoke Focaccia

Hey! I made this Artichoke Focaccia the other day. I used fresh veggies and homemade dough, but you can easily make it with cupboard ingredients. Ingredients: Pizza dough (approximately 3 cups of flour for 1 cup of water, 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp olive oil) 3 big artichokes, boiled (or artichoke hearts from a can) 4 roasted piquillo peppers (I used homemade preserved piquillos, but you can use any other red pepper from a can, or even raw) Salted…
