Roscón de Reyes: King’s Cake for the Twelfth Night

Roscón de Reyes: King’s Cake for the Twelfth Night

I know I’m late. I mean, the Epiphany was celebrated yesterday and I’m posting this today…But let’s be honest, 99% of you bought the cake yesterday and were not willing to make it yourselves. I was like that a couple of years ago, it’s more convenient. But I love making food, and I want to bake more, because I’m not very good at it. And I think I won’t ever be good at it, because I never follow recipes. For…

Pear and Orange Trifle with Christmas spices

Pear and Orange Trifle with Christmas spices

Happy Christmas to you all! I made a trifle for Christmas Eve. Here in Galicia (and I think everywhere in Spain) we celebrate the day before Christmas, apart from Christmas day. I made a pear trifle with Christmas spices and candied fruit. The house still smells delicious from making the candied fruit. If you have never done it…do yourself a favour and try. The flavour is amazing, but the smell is incredible. I couldn’t make my own sponge because my…

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…

Tortellini with aubergine and coconut milk (Vegetarian)

Tortellini with aubergine and coconut milk (Vegetarian)

Hey there! I haven’t been able to update this web with recipes lately because I haven’t been cooking a lot, basically. The other day, I went to the doctor, a week after a car accident. I am better than I expected, but my neck is making me rest for a while (presumably a couple of months until I am 100% as I was before the accident). I’m not in a rush, but the first thing I asked the doctor was:…

Día de los Muertos: Tacos two ways

Día de los Muertos: Tacos two ways

Today is the Day of the Dead (or Día de los Muertos as they say in Spanish). This Mexican tradition is known everywhere in the world. I always enjoy celebrating anything, even when I learnt about it two days ago (not in this case, but happens to me all the time). Celebrations are excuses to investigate on other people’s traditions, learn and of course cook something different. Today I made tacos for lunch and I’m cooking tacos for dinner right…

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

I’ve started running (again but seriously). The other day I had in mind a veggie risotto for lunch so I went for a long run to a supermarket. When I arrived, my body thought about the risotto and laughed at me. I needed meet and bread. I am a wise woman 🙄 so I didn’t contradict my body…I know I should listen to whatever stupid decision it makes. So I bought chicken breast fillets and bread. When I headed home,…

Tomato Steak

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…
