It’s February already and I am happy because I’ve just announced a new tour with Escuchando Elefantes Don’t forget the playlist of the month 馃檪 It’s been a while since we’ve toured. A long while. We’re excited and busy. I’ve been incredibly busy during January. That’s a good thing to avoid the winter blues. But being busy always takes a toll on my body. This week I’ve been feeling the inflammation creeping up, so I am…
Hey! It’s almost St. Patrick’s day! Being as fond as I am of Irish music, I couldn’t let the day go without some Irish tunes for your ears. If you celebrate St. Patrick’s day, I’d love to know what you do. For me, this day means celebrate everything Ireland haha. Its music, its food, its films and TV series…so if you have any recommendation, don’t hesitate to leave a comment. Of course, it’s the perfect day to dress in green…
I started growing vegetables in my garden this year. I’ve never had the green thumb, but lately I feel like I’m better at growing my own food. Maybe it’s because I really enjoy cooking it 馃檪 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Si虂lvia Fooding 馃 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) In this video I uploaded to Youtube, you’ll see my first attempts on growing courgettes (aka zucchinis) Someone told me they are the easiest to grow, and…
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….
This is going to be a long post. I know that for some of you plant-based means vegan (aka products that don’t harm any animal) But what does vegan mean to you? Apparently every word means something different for everyone these days. It’s OK. I understand the food industry is trying to bring up new terms in order to get more people happy. Vegan has becom e biased for some people and plant-based seems to be a good replacement. Although…
My family has always relied in the same butcher since I can remember. My grandma used to buy meat from her, and then my mum. But then I went vegetarian for a while when I left home, and when I started eating meat again (for health problems) I wouldn’t eat certain kinds of meat, so I wasn’t a good one keeping tradition. But, she’s closing down and as a kid I remember going with my mum or my grandma to…
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 馃檪 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…
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,…
I love baba ganoush. In general, I love spreads. Maybe it is because the bread I get here is the most incredible thing you can find. But, come to think of it, I actually I love spreads in any type of bread. With this one in particular, I would recommend a nice naan bread or any other that is not too crunchy. Although crackers are the typical go-to for baba ganoush, this creamier and sweeter version loves some fluffiness to…
