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…
Don’t you love how pretty colours are? I’ve always been fascinated by them. All of them. Since I was a little worm, I said my three favourite colours were blue, pink and yellow. Ain’t it funny how they are the only thing you need to create the rest of them? I’ve always been wise, even when I was ignorant of what primary colours were. Blue has always been an obsession in my life, though so whenever I have to choose…
You know, when people eat meat they usually go to meat when they feel lazy to cook. Anything easier than throwing a steak on a pan and cook it for a couple of minutes? When people go vegan, they go for the easiest substitutes like veggie patties or seitan steaks. They are usually highly processed foods, so that’s a no-no for me. When people go plant-based and want to follow a healthy lifestyle, they go for tofu or tempeh,…

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…
This is a recipe I’ve been doing for a while. The first time I made this, was actually the first time I tried century eggs. You don’t know what a century egg is? Well, follow the link to wikipedia or make a quick search on youtube to see people eating them and agonizing. I, on the contrary, love them..as any other food. But in order to know if I liked them or not, a while ago I went to the Asia…
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…

Since 2012 I’ve been celebrating Christmas apart from my family and friends. Apart from what I considered tradition and apart from typical Spanish Christmas food (which by the way, I took with me every year since then, but you get the point, right?). This year, only a couple of weeks ago, I had a car crash. It has stopped the streak of years celebrating Christmas in Ireland, with all our friends and many more (You can read more here) I…
