The other day I had a gig. The first one after the surgery and I was pretty excited about it. As I always do, I made some food in advance to take with me. When you have a job like mine, you never know when you’re going to be able to grab a snack, have dinner or if you are going to eat anything after all. This recipe is a salad inside a baked aubergine. It is so simple to make,…
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…
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,…

It seems like Christmas is definitely coming. After months of anticipation, this is the last week for doing all the shopping. For some years, I’ve been spending Christmas in Ireland and England, so I celebrate Spanish/Irish\English Christmas.At home, I was used to celebrate Christmas Eve the night of the 24th, but because of my job, the last 3 years I’ve been singing for charity which has been the greatest way of celebrating. Being able to help other people should be…
I have the tendency to make pork ribs in a particular way. I usually think it’s always the same, but then changes the flavour each time that I marinate it because I change some ingredients on purpose. I can’t even follow my own recipes. This time I had loads of pork ribs, so I decided to let them marinating until I wanted to cook them. I made two different marinades with two different garnishes. The amounts for the ingredients are…
