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…
Although it’s raining here today, I can hear the birds singing through my back door. Maybe it has something to do with me prepping the soil for the veggie garden (robins love hanging around me in order to catch some good worm breakfast), but it’s obvious Spring has settled in. May it’s a great month for new beginnings, specially now that the New Moon is coming. But what’s better for May when the Sun is shining and you crave fresh…
How are you today my lovely food-people? I am super excited to share this recipe with you. Why? Obvious! It’s delicious and beautiful, what else can you ask for? Cheap…done. Antything else? Fast…✅ Ask for anything and this recipe it that and more. Ok, maybe I got too excited, but if there’s veggies involved I can’t really control myself. I’ve never understood why all those kids in TV disliked their veggies. I’ve always loved them, so I blamed their TV…
This is going to be a long post. I know that for some of you plant-based means vegan (aka products that don’t harm any animal) But what does vegan mean to you? Apparently every word means something different for everyone these days. It’s OK. I understand the food industry is trying to bring up new terms in order to get more people happy. Vegan has becom e biased for some people and plant-based seems to be a good replacement. Although…
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…
When I got sick a couple of months ago I knew I had to change my diet. Not that I was doing anything wrong. I wasn’t drinking or smoking, I was eating a lot of veggies, walking more than 10k every day (I couldn’t run because of a knee injury). What I mean is, I was what people would consider a healthy person. But the truth is, I really wasn’t. As always, my researcher soul made me look for answers….
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 been waiting for this day a whole year. It’s not that I can’t cook Vegan haggis every week, but just cooking it on Burn’s night…that’s what makes it aspecial. This year I tweaked a bit my previous recipes and I think it was a win-win. Ingredients: 1 cup of dried pinto beans 1/4 cup dried azuki beans 1/2 cup barley 1 red onion 1/2 white onion 3 carrots 500gr mushrooms (you can use any type, or combine 250gr portobello…
