About me

Hello visitor. Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking some time to learn about me. 

I'm a thirty...something year old woman from Spain that, one day, in 2021, decided to start a cooking blog. I've been blogging since 2013 and, for quite some time, I wanted to share food as part of my culture with my audience. However, I never got around it, since I didn't know how to fit it in my main blog. So, one day, I decided to start this side project. 

On this blog you will find some typical spanish dishes, but also more international ones. I live in the Valencia area of Spain, right next to the Mediterranean sea. So, some of the dishes you may see here are from that very specific area, so they won't be your classic mainstream Spanish dishes. 

I am not a professional chef, and by no means I'm claiming to be one. I'm just a regular woman who likes to cook for her family and loved ones. So, what I share on this blog is based on my personal experience and personal preferences, which my not always be perfect. This blog isn't about me teaching you "the right way" to do things, it's about sharing what I do and learning together. 

I would like you to join me on this cooking journey and stick around here.

Slow cooker roasted chicken

Hello again! Long time, no see. I haven't posted in a while on this blog because not just I haven't been very inspired to do so, but also life got in the way. If you read my main blog you probably already know that I've had furniture to assemble and other stuff to take care of. But, I don't want to bore you with that, so let's get into the food. I don't know about you, but in summer I feel less inspired to cook, specially complex dishes that require a lot of preparation. One of those recipes I rely on during the hottest months is this slow cooker chicken that requires barely any preparation or attention, so I can go about my day. I make it for two people, and we have plenty for lunch, but you can make more, or even add potatoes, if you feel you won't have enough food. This recipe is so easy to tailor to your own needs.  Ingredients: Chicken leg quarters (hindquarters), or any other part of the chicken you like.  Italian seasoning. Pepper. Olive oil. Lemon ju

Slow cooker onion soup

Hello again! Long time, no see! I didn't plan out to take such a long break, but all of a sudden it's December and I haven't posted since September. There's no big reason behind my break, I just simply didn't find the time to sit in front of my computer and write a new post. Also, taking photos while cooking can be quite challenging, and I often found myself too focused on cooking that I forgot to take photos for the blog. But finally, here I am, ready to share with you one of my all-time favorite recipes: onion soup.  Onion soup is not just one of my favorite dishes, but also one I associate with the Holiday season. So, since Christmas is upon us, I thought it would be really fitting. As far as I'm concerned, onion soup originated in Paris, France, but it has expanded to several European countries. Each country seems to have its own version of this dish, so I'm simply going to share the way I make it, which isn't necessarily "the Spanish version&qu

Salsa brava (spicy dipping sauce)

Hello again! Can you believe it's June already? It feels like yesterday we were celebrating Christmas, and here we are now, halfway through the year. This baby blog has just turned 6 months, and although it doesn't have many readers yet, I'm quite happy with what I've achieved so far. I can't believe I have managed to post consistently for 6 months! For this month's recipe, I didn't want to do something too complicated, nor a very heavy dish. Summer is almost upon us, so I don't think it's time to write about hot stews and heavy meals. So, instead I decided to some typical Spanish sauce called salsa brava . This spicy sauce is often used in a dish called patatas bravas or papas bravas , which is a very popular side dish or tapa that consists in fried potatoes and a spicy sauce. This dish is pretty popular all around Spain and has several variants, but it originated in Madrid, in the center of Spain.  I don't make this sauce very often, just here
