A year ago I was involved in a car accident. It was very scary mainly for three reasons: 1) It happened in France and I was supposed to arrive in London for our tour the next day. 2) Carlos tried to avoid the car from crashing four times, but the ice made it impossible to stay on the road. 3) The car got out of the road and turned on one side, making it incredibly difficult to get out of…
Koh Lanta turned one and I was there to see it. They invited everyone to an informal tasting to celebrate it. If you want a bit of background, here’s the first post I wrote about them. I had a lot of fun, tried old dishes that I already loved and some new flavours that didn’t disappoint me at all. The place was crowded in and outside and the staff rose up to the occasion by wearing traditional Vietnamese hats. I…
My family has always relied in the same butcher since I can remember. My grandma used to buy meat from her, and then my mum. But then I went vegetarian for a while when I left home, and when I started eating meat again (for health problems) I wouldn’t eat certain kinds of meat, so I wasn’t a good one keeping tradition.

Although I’ve been driving already, blogging is like the perfect hobbie. Why? Because if I am bored I can talk to you for as long as I want…I don’t mind if you stop readin. I understand. I think I need to talk about the rest of the dishes I tried for the…
I’m in Barcelona now and I’ll be staying for a couple of days working. I’m going to try and visit some new places and I’m pretty excited about it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Clara Orozco (@claror) A month ago, we were touring with Glen Hansard and one of the places we went to was Barcelona. I was so grateful, because it’s one of my favourite places to visit. I knew I wanted to visit Lomo…
The other day I shared a step by step recipe through Instagram Stories. It was fun to cook and share pictures at the same time. In the end I asked if someone wanted the recipe and some of you asked for it, so here it goes: Ingrendients: 2 beef cheeks 4 big onions 4 garlic bulbs 4 big chillies 6 carrots 6 potatoes unpeeled 500 ml red wine 750 ml water 1 beef stock cube (I use OXO) A splash…
