My neighbours are too kind. They planted Padrón peppers and they are constantly giving me bags full of these wonderful veggies. I’m so grateful! The thing is, on their own, they are perfect. Nonetheless, I started fooding around with them. The result is this superquick recipe you can enjoy hot or cold. The Fergese it’s a hot recipe, but I love to prepare it and then have a cold bruschetta of the mixture before I put it in the oven….
I love colourful pasta, as well as I love natural ingredients. Although the obvious choice for making green pasta is spinach, I’ve made this one with matcha in order to give it a distinct flavour. Ingredients (for two people): For the pasta 1 medium egg 1 cup of white flour 1 tbsp of matcha powder For the sauce 1kg uncooked and unpeeled shrimp 1 onion 1 tbsp concentrated tomato paste 150 gr soft cheese (such as philadelphia cream cheese) I…
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…

Here’s another comforting winter recipe. I’m starting to get familiar with savoury porridges, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve always liked sweet porridge and being able to develop new textures while cooking is extremely amusing. Here you are: my first official savoury porridge recipe. You can choose your own toppings and marinade for the chicken, but these I’ve used worked great. Ingredients (makes 1 bowl): 1 pint of stock (I used leftover stock from another recipe) 100 ml milk…
It’s pancake day, and how am I celebraring it? Yes, you guessed! By cooking and eating pancakes! This recipe is the Galician version of crêpes. They are called differently depending on the region, but in my family (and in most places) they are called filloas. It’s tradition to make them on Shrove Tuesday with the leftover broth from making Galician Stew. They can be done with broth, milk or half broth and half milk. In my family when we were…
Oh, St Valentine’s day…a special occasion for loving people and indulging on chocolate! What? Isn’t that the point of celebrating love, eating chocolate?

For this St. Valentine’s day, I bring you the whole menu for a special meal that is healthy and decadent at the same time. Also, it is a light meal, in case you need to do some exercise…

Ireland. The land of Guinness, rain, butter, potatoes and music. Probably the best description one can ever give. I already said I’ve been spending Christmas in Ireland for a long time now. Well, except for the Guinness, my Christmas are pretty much those things: rain, butter, potatoes and music. And as far as music is concerned, I couldn’t be happier. This year was a bit different from others. We always take part in a benefic event on Christmas eve to raise…
