Irish Leek and Potato Soup + St. Patrick’s Day 🍀playlist 🎧 [VEGAN·GLUTEN-FREE]

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…

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

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…

Plant-Based Lentils

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….

Vegan Cottage Pie: A plant-based version better than the original.

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!

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…

Christmas Chicken à l’orange in a tiny oven

Christmas Chicken à l’orange in a tiny oven

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,…

Why I won’t be having gammon for Christmas and why I don’t mind.

Why I won’t be having gammon for Christmas and why I don’t mind.

Since 2012 I’ve been celebrating Christmas apart from my family and friends. Apart from what I considered tradition and apart from typical Spanish Christmas food (which by the way, I took with me every year since then, but you get the point, right?). This year, only a couple of weeks ago, I had a car crash. It has stopped the streak of years celebrating Christmas in Ireland, with all our friends and many more (You can read more here) I…

Another Tapas Contest: Tapas Picadillo in Coruña I

Another Tapas Contest: Tapas Picadillo in Coruña I

I’ve already told you that I get very anxious when something big related to food happens near me. Tapas Picadillo contest is always a good example. I even get to the point where I hate the contest for existing and making me take such hard decissions. And always the same question in my head…which tapas shall I try this year? This time I decided to take it easy and make a “small” selection of the tapas that I needed to…

Another Tapas Contest: Tapas Picadillo in Coruña II

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.

I think I need to talk about the rest of the dishes I tried for the…

Lugo Tapas Contest

Lugo Tapas Contest

Isn’t it ironic? A city where they offer you a free tapa with each drink anywhere holding a contest in which you have to pay for the tapas. Well, maybe not ironic, but your belly has to be ready for something like that. I’ve visited the city twice while this happened, they still offered you the free tapa even after ordering a paid one. I really wanted to try as many places as possible. It wasn’t possible to try more…
