" Desde muy pequeña me sentí atraída por el trabajo de mis abuelas en la cocina. De ellas aprendí las recetas más tradicionales de mi tierra, Galicia, donde la materia prima es la auténtica protagonista. Aunque también disfruto de los productos de interior, tengo auténtica debilidad por los pescados y mariscos que nos proporciona el mar y sobre todo nuestras rías. También soy gran apasionada de los vinos, y mi región es un paraíso para uvas, viticultores y aficionados. Muestra de todo esto son las publicaciones en mi blog, Twitter y Facebook. Bienvenidos."

You can find my recipes on the page of my blog, Twitter and Facebook., don't hesitate to join me and chat with me! "

 

* A few words about Galicia for your future culinary journeys: It is far from our usual representation of Spain. Green landscapes and humid climate makes us rather think of Ireland. Moreover, the Galicians are of Celtic origin and claim their culture. The region is also characterized by a beautiful coastline. Its specificity is the presence of estuaries, estuaries invaded by the sea There are Rías Altas and Rías Baixas north, west of Galicia. Jagged coastline and deserted coves give the region an amazing charm. The Atlantic Ocean holds, moreover, an important place in the lives of Galicians. They are marine and fishing off pair still live a good number of families.
