SEPTEMBER PLAYLIST 🎧 AUGUST MONTHLY BLOG 📝

SEPTEMBER PLAYLIST 🎧 AUGUST MONTHLY BLOG 📝

Before we start, tune into the playlist so you and I get in the same mood 🙂 Now, we’re talking. So, where do I start? Probably from the beginning, right? The month started in Eibar. A little town in between Donosti and Bilbo. We were coming back from Paris and our idea was to stop in the south of France (as we always do) to enjoy one last breakfast in the country. Well, we couldn’t. We forgot it was the…

Midsommar: Strawberry layer cake

Midsommar: Strawberry layer cake

Summer is right around the corner, we can feel it. I can smell it and I can even sweat it. Yesterday the weather was so hot that even at 21:00 when I came back from a walk It seemed like August. Today, the same feeling. I decided to write this post on my phone, just because I wanted to sunbathe for a while. It’s Sunday, and although I don’t usually rest on Sundays, I couldn’t put myself to clean the…

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…

Pancakes, Crêpes, Filloas – Vegan & Gluten-free dessert for Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) 🥞

Pancakes, Crêpes, Filloas – Vegan & Gluten-free dessert for Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) 🥞

It’s been a while since I’ve made pancakes. Well, actually crêpes…well, they’re actually filloas here. You know what? I made this vegan gluten free batter in the shape of crêpes, thick filloas or thin pancakes. Call them what you want, I’ll eat them while you choose.      Jokes aside, one of my favourites as a kid was making filloas (the Galician version of crêpes and pancakes) on Shrove Tuesday. Usually my dad would make a Galician Stew and with…

Kero: Perú gets closer to Vigo

Kero: Perú gets closer to Vigo

Once upon a time, Sílvia met Juan Carlos Perret, head chef of Kero. She tried his food in a gastronomic event where she was performing. She told him how she’d love to go to his restaurant but never could because whenever she was in Vigo, it was closed (Sunday is a bitch) He then told her he loved her music too, so they talked for a couple of minutes and there started a very beautiful relationship. Well, actually…not quite that….

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…

Cacao & Matcha Truffles

Cacao & Matcha Truffles

I know, cacao and matcha, right? I’ve already caught your attention. I’ve made a video of the recipe. To know the exact quantities, keep scrolling. It was first featured in my first “What I Eat In a Day as a Musician” that you can also find here: Of course, some of you asked me for the recipe and I thought I’d be a better person if I shared it 🙂 I’m feeling kinder already. You’re welcome. I’m planning on making…

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…
