The gazpacho salad I loved this summer!

2024-12-10T10:42:34+01:00

As the rain refreshes the air and autumn timidly knocks on the door (although in Malaga, it's still fashionably late), it’s time to say goodbye to my favorite summer dishes. One of those that stands out this year is the Gazpacho Salad — a dish so simple yet full of tradition and flavor, perfect for scorching summer days. This recipe is nothing new. It has been a part of my family’s summer table for generations, a humble creation born from the need to nourish and refresh during long days of hard work in the countryside. Yet, this summer, it

The organic market and the beet salad

2020-08-31T13:58:07+02:00

Being at the height of January belt-tightening, many still carry the regrets for the Christmas excess. So putting both things together, we have the perfect opportunity to get to the food market and enjoy the beauty and taste of winter vegetables. Last Saturday, a windy and somehow unpleasant day, I visited the Guadalorce Organic Market in Malaga, organic food producers and farmers putting all their efforts in changing our consumption habits, producing close, healthy and quality food. I went straight to Jose Mª Florido stall. He is passionate about his relationship with the country and the healthy food he produces,

Summer playtime: kids in the kitchen!

2020-08-31T13:58:07+02:00

A Cooking Day has moved to a cooler place for a few days. I love Amsterdam. Food talking, I love all these different types of amazing bread, plenty of organic products easily available (often cheaper than in Spain), and so many charming restaurants offering a wide selection of food from almost any country in the world. But at the same time I can’t help to be proud of Spanish gastronomy (quite trendy here, by the way) and how important food is for us, our cooking and eating rituals. As we are travelling with kids and summer is, necessarily for many

Our own organic olive oil from Málaga

2024-12-18T12:20:08+01:00

This year my friend Alvaro and I decided to pick ourselves the olives at home and try to have our own organic olive oil, no certification but natural a hundred per cent. And so we did. Friends and family participated the way and for the time they could, and we all got caught up in enthusiasm and happiness working outdoors surrounded by the beautiful countryside, no hurries, sharing talk and laughs at lunch, which my mother prepared everyday for everyone there, learning plenty of new things. After fifteen days, we got to the oil mill on Sunday evening, excited and

Olive picking 2013

2020-08-31T13:58:08+02:00

This is our second season picking olives at home, so we can use during the cooking sessions a precious and very special organic olive oil. With some experience acquired we handled sticks, picking nets, stakes, baskets and sacks. The place being the same, we found a landscape very different from last year, a dry soil this time without a single blade of grass where the olives could hide when falling from the trees. Hot weather and short sleeves often, and the sun keeping us company. Also the olives we took to the oil mill were different, smaller and less lustrous,
