Once upon a time, Sílvia met Juan Carlos Perret, head chef of Kero. She tried his food in a gastronomic event where she was performing. She told him how she’d love to go to his restaurant but never could because whenever she was in Vigo, it was closed (Sunday is a bitch) He then told her he loved her music too, so they talked for a couple of minutes and there started a very beautiful relationship. Well, actually…not quite that….
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….
Koh Lanta turned one and I was there to see it. They invited everyone to an informal tasting to celebrate it. If you want a bit of background, here’s the first post I wrote about them. I had a lot of fun, tried old dishes that I already loved and some new flavours that didn’t disappoint me at all. The place was crowded in and outside and the staff rose up to the occasion by wearing traditional Vietnamese hats. I…
This is a recipe I’ve been doing for a while. The first time I made this, was actually the first time I tried century eggs. You don’t know what a century egg is? Well, follow the link to wikipedia or make a quick search on youtube to see people eating them and agonizing. I, on the contrary, love them..as any other food. But in order to know if I liked them or not, a while ago I went to the Asia…
I made a quick recipe. It only has 3 ingredients, but it is delicious! (Recipe below) Ingredients: 350 gr Padrón Peppers 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar Add some salt if you fancy. Method: Cut the stem of the peppers, but leave the seeds, if some are hot, you want that on your jam 🙂 Wash and rinse Place in a pot with the sugar and vinegar and cover with a lid (or a plate, as…
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…
On Friday we had a great gig at La Fábrica de Chocolate in Vigo. Well, I say great, but appart from that it was kind of mental. Two people fainted at the beginning, and it was kind of difficult to stay concentrated. After the gig I could talk to Ana, one of them, and she was feeling better. I hope Dani, the other guy, feels OK now because I couldn’t talk to him after the show. Some made jokes comparing…
