I know that celebrating Thanksgiving is a bit of a controversial topic nowadays. I understand the underlying causes of the first celebration, but I also believe that giving thanks is a great excuse to celebrate. So, acknowledging that fact, I decided to incorporate pumpkin as an homage to Native Americans in my apple pie recipe this year. In Spain, Thanksgiving is something we don’t really celebrate. It’s become something known because of…
I went to make some blood tests the other day. The good news is I don’t have anaemia anymore! The better news is…I went to The Good Cereal to have breakfast for the first time and it was: I really want to talk about breakfast and cereal. For those of you who have been following me for a while, or those who know me since I was a kid (Hi Mum, Grandma and Viví!) you know I love breakfast. My…
I made Vegan chocolate spread to celebrate World Nutella Day. Don’t get me wrong…it doesn’t taste like Nutella, that wasn’t my intention. I wanted to make something inspired by Nutella. Nevertheless, f you change the cashews for hazelnuts, it will remind you to the real thing. I just found it interesting to make a cashew and chocolate spread for the first time. I love the result, and I’ve been eating it all day. Ingredients (makes a small batch): 65…

One year ago today, I started my Instagram account (a day after this website) as a way to share my passion for food. I was sleeping in a hospital room and thought it was the perfect moment to start this project. Today I have a neck injury due to a car accident that could have been much worse. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sílvia Fooding 🥑 Here for the food. (@silviafooding) I hope next year I…
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…
Ooops! I did it again! I went to Mijo Minibar and it was, as expected, delicious. Carlos and I decided to go do some busking in Vigo. We always love spending time there. After a morning playing in Ourense, we head towards Vigo in order to grab something to eat. Carlos suggested Mijo and I couldn’t say no. With our drinks came a glass of complementary olives and pickles, as well as some hummus. I was very glad about the…
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about one of my restaurant experiences. This is a good one for two reasons: I went twice and it’s Asian. It was my mum’s birthday a while ago and we all went to celebrate to Koh Lanta, a new restaurant in Coruña. I’ve taken a while to write about this because I’ve been busy with other stuff I had in mind, but I think it’s about time because their food is worth taking the…
Two years ago, I saw some adverts announcing Forum Gastronòmic in Coruña. I had’t been there the previous month because I had to work, so when I saw the dates, my heart broke. I couldn’t go. So I waited for two long years hoping they bring it back to my city (with some thoughts of going to Girona or Barcelona where it is celebrated as well, but always work got in the middle). Finally it was February 2017 and I…
