Another month, another loss… Here’s the playlist for the last month of this long and weird 2021: Last month I told you about how Tomate left us in a long day process. How he breathed his last breath next to me in my bed. He was a relatively young cat, 10 years old. But what hurt most wasn’t his age, it was that it happened so suddenly.It wasn’t the same with Oliva, I knew she was going to…
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…
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…
I love this dessert. The good thing about it is that it is so energetic and so healthy that it makes a perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, dessert after lunch…you name it! The base is simple: bananas, peanut butter and cacao nibs. That’s it…the rest is up to your imagination. A couple of weeks ago, Lucía (a friend) and I decided that the best way to keep in touch was to meet for breakfast on Sundays. And I must say, we…
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….
Don’t panic if you don’t have time for making dessert this year. Just do me a favour, soak a cup of raw cashews right now. C’mon, go! Come back after you do it, I’ll be waiting for you here. Done? Now keep reading this post and make the cake in 15 minutes. You only have to soak the cashews 6 hours before, so you are safe. You can read this post, you can read a couple more posts from this…
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…
Since I finished my PhD, I don’t really know how school life works anymore. I was surprised to read that Back To School happens in August for most of you. Also, chatting through Instagram with one of my followfriends she told me she has an exam next week. I don’t really know how life goes anymore… What I do know is that we all get hungry, we all want to eat healthier and we all need…
