What I Eat In A Day as a Musician (Plant-Based and Gluten-Free
Here’s a video of how I get ready and What I Eat In a Day (Plant-based and Gluten-Free) being a musician. Have Fun and Keep Fooding!
Plant-Based Lentils
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….
Aubergines with Quinoa Salad
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,…
Vegan Cottage Pie: A plant-based version better than the original.
I’ve veganized one of my favourite recipes ever. I love Shepherd’s pie, and my aunt (who is a vegetarian) makes the best carnivore Shepherd’s pie without even tasting it. She’s an amazing cook, so don’t be surprised. I’ve called this one Cottage pie (which is only different from Shepherd’s because of the meat) because it seemed a bit more vegan-friendly. She’s always given me tips to make vegetarian recipes. One of her most repeated tip is: Instead of mincemeat…
Tomatoes are in season. Let’s bake them!
It’s incredible the many things you can do with tomatoes. They are in season now and it’s one of my favourite seasons of all. Actually, I think they should add it to the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Tomato, Fall and Winter. Sounds good. I bring you a recipe that has already become a staple in my kitchen. Any tomato works in this recipe, but I like to mix them in order to get as many shapes as possible. If you are…
Food, in sickness and in health (Hospital IV)
For over a month, I’ve been quite sick. I had to go to the hospital a couple of times and stay there for a while. I had surgery in order to solve the problem, which is something I don’t fancy too much on a Wednesday afternoon, as you can guess. It’s been two weeks since the surgery and I feel much better now. I am walking at a normal pace, I am making my own food again (I…
Healthy Rice Bowl (Poke style)
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…
Ham or gammon tacos: A perfect idea for Christmas dinner or Boxing day leftovers
Have you ever wanted to make a non-traditional Christmas dinner? Then, this post is dedicated to you. Unless you are Mexican, then…this is probably a little bit more traditional for you than for the rest of us 🙂 Ingredients: For the tacos: 500gr piece of ham/gammon 1 can of chipotle chilies in sauce 4 tbsps Mic’s chilli sauce (choose your favourite level of heat) 2 shallots Corn tortillas Fresh cilantro For the drink (each glass): 100 ml nopal juice…
Tomato Steak
I’ve been in Madrid for a week before a gig and I came back to Galicia with a bunch of photos, some ideas, and my belly full. One of those ideas was this Tomato Steak. I’ve visited a nice place with good wine and food called Celso y Manolo in Chueca. Although I couldn’t eat there, I tried some of their wines. I inspected the menu, anyway, and found this interesting concept called “Tomato steak”. The plump, oversized, ripe tomatoes…
Vegan, gluten and soy free Haggis: Burn’s supper
I’ve been waiting for this day a whole year. It’s not that I can’t cook Vegan haggis every week, but just cooking it on Burn’s night…that’s what makes it aspecial. This year I tweaked a bit my previous recipes and I think it was a win-win. Ingredients: 1 cup of dried pinto beans 1/4 cup dried azuki beans 1/2 cup barley 1 red onion 1/2 white onion 3 carrots 500gr mushrooms (you can use any type, or combine 250gr portobello…
