Goodbye Tomate, hello November.
St Patrick’s Day 🍀 -A love story about Ireland 🇮🇪
Before I start, let’s get in the mood. Click play on the playlist below so you can read this with background music that gets you on your Irish attitude. Ireland feels like a second home to me. I have a deep connection with some places in the world. There’s this strange connection with France, for instance. I feel like I need to be near that country, if not in that country. Since the first time I visited Paris, I told…
Thanksgiving Sides: Brussels, Chestnuts and Sweet Potatoes | PLANT-BASED · GLUTEN-FREE · SOY-FREE · VEGAN
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…
3 uses for Stale Bread: Mastering leftovers
I’ve always been a great fan of reusing food you thought you were going to throw away. Bread is one of those things. There’s many countries where you can buy cheap bread that tastes incredibly, so whenever it gets old, you won’t be using it because it’s not worth it. We can buy baguettes here for less than 0,30€! I mean, that’s crazy. If I was going to make them, the ingredients and electricity would cost more. But stale bread…

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…
On books, flowers and friendship
It’s been a while since I’ve been complaining about St. Jordi’s tradition. For those of you who don’t know what it is about, St. Jordi is celebrated on April, 23rd. Tradition says women will get a flower as a present, while men will get a book. Ha! Yeah, sure, whatever. I know flowers are beautiful, and appart from being a bit allergic to some of them, I love getting flowers and plants as a gift. But, come on! Men get…
