Avocado Toast |VEGAN · PLANT-BASED · GLUTEN-FREE · SOY-FREE|

Whenever I’m lazy for breakfast I think…Avocado Toast. The same happens at lunch and…guess what’s for dinner? I usually have a meal plan for the week, but if everything goes wrong…Avocado Toast. I’ve made so many different versions of the so-called Avocado Toast that I just go with the flow. Lately I’ve been doing this recipe, but who knows what tomorrow brings. I’ve started calling them avotoasts. So, from now on, avotoasts it is. The base is always the same…half…

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

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…

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

Since I finished my PhD, I don’t really know how school life works anymore. I was surprised to read that Back To School happens in August for most of you. Also, chatting through Instagram with one of my followfriends she told me she has an exam next week.     I don’t really know how life goes anymore…     What I do know is that we all get hungry, we all want to eat healthier and we all need…

3 uses for Stale Bread: Mastering leftovers

3 uses for Stale Bread: Mastering leftovers

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…

Vegan Chocolate Spread (World Nutella Day)

Vegan Chocolate Spread (World Nutella Day)

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…

Trout Rolls

Trout Rolls

I find lobster rolls, shrimp rolls or whatever you want to put on a roll, a great meal. I’ve tried them in many places, being steak tartar one of my favourites (read more here).   Well, yesterday I bought some nice buns and decided to do some kind of fish roll. Saw some rainbow trout and everything made sense. This recipe was really nice and refreshing. Not that we need to be refreshed in winter. Although after so many winter stews…

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

I’ve started running (again but seriously). The other day I had in mind a veggie risotto for lunch so I went for a long run to a supermarket. When I arrived, my body thought about the risotto and laughed at me. I needed meet and bread. I am a wise woman 🙄 so I didn’t contradict my body…I know I should listen to whatever stupid decision it makes. So I bought chicken breast fillets and bread. When I headed home,…

Pink Baba ganoush

Pink Baba ganoush

I love baba ganoush. In general, I love spreads. Maybe it is because the bread I get here is the most incredible thing you can find. But, come to think of it, I actually I love spreads in any type of bread. With this one in particular, I would recommend a nice naan bread or any other that is not too crunchy. Although crackers are the typical go-to for baba ganoush, this creamier and sweeter version loves some fluffiness to…

Forum Gastronòmic 2017

Forum Gastronòmic 2017

Two years ago, I saw some adverts announcing Forum Gastronòmic in Coruña. I had’t been there the previous month because I had to work, so when I saw the dates, my heart broke. I couldn’t go. So I waited for two long years hoping they bring it back to my city (with some thoughts of going to Girona or Barcelona where it is celebrated as well, but always work got in the middle). Finally it was February 2017 and I…
