Don’t be afraid of the name, this pasta is delicious!

Roast chicken is the typical family meal which is made when the whole family or good friends are gathered together. Served with vegetables cooked in the sauce or boiled, I like giving a little bit of a twist by adding some lemon, aromatic herbs such as thyme or sage, and a little ginger and couscous […]
This new beetroot and carrot salad recipe has been quite successful this summer. I invented it mixing the ingredients I had in my fridge one night: carrots, raw beetroot, a few salad leaves and red peppers, feta and eggs.

Rice in Spain is very appreciated and involved in any big family meeting, specially in the traditional meals of South Spain, where it is eaten directly in the cooking pan with a spoon, by all the guests, just like this Spanish chicken rice. Rice is not just about paella, as it is usually perceived from […]
