Thanksgiving Apple and Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving Apple and Pumpkin Pie

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…

Ice Cream with sponge and fruit |VEGAN·PLANT-BASED·GLUTEN-FREE|

Do you like ice-cream? Do you like cakes and sponges? Do you like chocolate? Well, then you’ll like this recipe. I don’t usually eat any processed food, but my body needs some “bad stuff” every now and then to feel a little bit more human 😅 The recipe I bring you today is for those who love dessert and can’t say no to processed foods like ice-cream or sponge cake. I am bringing you those two things combined, but I’m…

Banana Spaceships |vegan · plant-based | gluten-free · soy-free

I love this dessert. The good thing about it is that it is so energetic and so healthy that it makes a perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, dessert after lunch…you name it! The base is simple: bananas, peanut butter and cacao nibs. That’s it…the rest is up to your imagination. A couple of weeks ago, Lucía (a friend) and I decided that the best way to keep in touch was to meet for breakfast on Sundays. And I must say, we…

Cacao & Matcha Truffles

Cacao & Matcha Truffles

I know, cacao and matcha, right? I’ve already caught your attention. I’ve made a video of the recipe. To know the exact quantities, keep scrolling. It was first featured in my first “What I Eat In a Day as a Musician” that you can also find here: Of course, some of you asked me for the recipe and I thought I’d be a better person if I shared it 🙂 I’m feeling kinder already. You’re welcome. I’m planning on making…

Koh Lanta (Coruña) celebrates its first birthday

Koh Lanta (Coruña) celebrates its first birthday

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…

St Patrick’s Day Doughnuts with Matcha

St Patrick’s Day Doughnuts with Matcha

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s and I posted a picture of a green doughnut on my Instagram stories asking if anyone wanted the recipe. Turns out, a lot of people wanted it. That’s a good sign, we’re still eating bad food for us, but at least we want to make it ourselves! Jokes aside, here is the recipe. By thew way, I used apricot colouring because it was an Irish related recipe and I wanted some orange, white and green. You can…

Vegan Chocolate Spread (World Nutella Day)

Vegan Chocolate Spread (World Nutella Day)

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…

Roscón de Reyes: King’s Cake for the Twelfth Night

Roscón de Reyes: King’s Cake for the Twelfth Night

I know I’m late. I mean, the Epiphany was celebrated yesterday and I’m posting this today…But let’s be honest, 99% of you bought the cake yesterday and were not willing to make it yourselves. I was like that a couple of years ago, it’s more convenient. But I love making food, and I want to bake more, because I’m not very good at it. And I think I won’t ever be good at it, because I never follow recipes. For…

Pear and Orange Trifle with Christmas spices

Pear and Orange Trifle with Christmas spices

Happy Christmas to you all! I made a trifle for Christmas Eve. Here in Galicia (and I think everywhere in Spain) we celebrate the day before Christmas, apart from Christmas day. I made a pear trifle with Christmas spices and candied fruit. The house still smells delicious from making the candied fruit. If you have never done it…do yourself a favour and try. The flavour is amazing, but the smell is incredible. I couldn’t make my own sponge because my…
