Hey! How’s your April going. Mine has become a hectic month. I’m getting ready to record a music video, while we are quarantined. Which means there’s only two people doing the job of a whole team. Which means: Stress levels going up. But I must say, I’ve been training for this kind of situations. Not quarantines. Working more than I should has always been one of my traits, but what I’ve been training for has been staying chill…
My mum used to make a zucchini soup recipe that I loved. I still do, so I cook it that way almost every time I make zucchini soup. But this time I really wanted to do a different zucchini soup. Because, you all know that feeling of realizing you’ve been making the same stuff over and over again. Although you like making the same things, you also crave that feeling of going out of the habit and doing something different….
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…
When I got sick a couple of months ago I knew I had to change my diet. Not that I was doing anything wrong. I wasn’t drinking or smoking, I was eating a lot of veggies, walking more than 10k every day (I couldn’t run because of a knee injury). What I mean is, I was what people would consider a healthy person. But the truth is, I really wasn’t. As always, my researcher soul made me look for answers….
The other day I had a gig. The first one after the surgery and I was pretty excited about it. As I always do, I made some food in advance to take with me. When you have a job like mine, you never know when you’re going to be able to grab a snack, have dinner or if you are going to eat anything after all. This recipe is a salad inside a baked aubergine. It is so simple to make,…
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…
I’ve decided there’s no Christmas unless there’s a turkey on the table. I mean, I’ve been doing that for a long time now. The thing is…I don’t have a proper oven (yet). I have a new kitchen and I still have to buy an oven, but meanwhile I’m still using my good old small oven. Why haven’t I bought a bigger oven yet? I haven’t found one that I really liked. If you have any suggestions, please let me know,…
Hey there again! I’m on the road to Granada today. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Escuchando Elefantes (@escuchando_elefantes) That’s like a 10 hours journey. 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…
On Friday we had a great gig at La Fábrica de Chocolate in Vigo. Well, I say great, but appart from that it was kind of mental. Two people fainted at the beginning, and it was kind of difficult to stay concentrated. After the gig I could talk to Ana, one of them, and she was feeling better. I hope Dani, the other guy, feels OK now because I couldn’t talk to him after the show. Some made jokes comparing…
Here’s another comforting winter recipe. I’m starting to get familiar with savoury porridges, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve always liked sweet porridge and being able to develop new textures while cooking is extremely amusing. Here you are: my first official savoury porridge recipe. You can choose your own toppings and marinade for the chicken, but these I’ve used worked great. Ingredients (makes 1 bowl): 1 pint of stock (I used leftover stock from another recipe) 100 ml milk…
