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…
Did I ever tell you I am obsessed with Halloween? No? Really? Well, here it comes. Actually, I’m obsessed with celebrating, but Halloween is the most exciting event of the year for me. In fact, I celebrate Samhain, which is the Celtic tradition before it became viral 馃槀 Galicia, where I live, is a Celtic region and we actually call it Samain. It’s the Witches’ new year! For many years, I celebrated Halloween…
I don’t know about you, but everytime I think about thanksgiving, my mind places an image of the typical sides: brussels, sweet potato, chestnuts. I’ve always done brussels and sweet potatoes on their own, as sides to a roasted chicken (usually filled with chestnut stuffing). But, no matter how much I loved the chicken, my favourite part of the meal has always been the sides. I’m usually one of those that looks at the menu in a restaurant and sees…
I bought too much sardines the other day, I needed my omega3. Although my favourite way to eat them is 2 minutes each side on a pan, I felt like I needed to do something different with the remaining 500 gr I had. I usually search for recipes in English, that’s a thing I’ve been doing since I first searched for a recipe on the Internet, because at the beginning, it was easier to find international recipes that way. This…
No words to describe this recipe. I mean, look at it. It’s not my fault though…beetroots are amazingly beautiful. I’ve always liked them, but as a kid I must say I only ate them boiled. I love boiled beetroots, but they are so versatile that it feels unfair not to do them in different ways. Roasted would have been the obvious choice for me a couple of years ago, now I’m in love with the raw veggie. When you get…
Have you ever tried hummus? I bet you have. Nowadays, hummus is practically everywhere and I’m so thankful for that. The first time I tried it my aunt made it for me. She’s been a vegetarian forever and I think I’ve already told you she’s a great cook. I remember I fell in love with the recipe and ate almost the whole recipe she made for four people. I also remember my stomach aching after that and saying “I would…
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聽聽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.聽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…
I don’t have much to say. It’s not my first time mixing pasta and Brussels sprouts. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Si虂lvia Fooding 馃 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) The results are always good. Just look at the pictures…appealing? Ok, so here’s the recipe: Ingredients: Macaroni. I used Barilla’s Rigatoni. Approximately 3 handfuls. 1/2 container Patak’s Tikka Masala 2 garlic cloves 200 gr Brussels Sprouts 2 chicken thighs (deboned) You can use the skin,…
I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved eating cheese in New Year. Maybe it’s because we are all cheesaholics in my family, but also because it’s very convenient: you just have to plate them and they are delicious. Tips for the perfect cheeseboard: Choose a blue cheese. I really love blue cheese. Sometimes, if the cheeseboard is big enough I add two or three types of blue cheese. If I had to pick one, I’ll go for a Stilton…
