Para no gustarme el color, hay que ver la cantidad de sopas naranjas que me tomo. Bueno, esta es de tomate, pero ya se sabe que en cuanto una mete la batidora, el rojo se vuelve naranja chillón. No se por qué se llama a esta sopa Carmelita, si se que es originaria de Colombia, así que a mis amigas Colombianas seguro que les gusta que la haga. Yo que soy tomatera desde que he nacido, no podía pasar esta sopa por alto.

1. I´m surprised when I think how many "oranges" soups I´ve eaten during all my life, you know I don´t like that colour. Well this soup wasn´t orange because it´s basically made with tomatoes, but you know, the moment you turn your food processor on, the red turns into a stunning orange. I don´t know why this soup is called "Carmelita", but I know it comes from Colombia so I guess my Colombian friends will be happy when they see I´m sending them a sign. I couldn´t miss this recipe, I´m a tomato freak.

1. Again I´m making a recipe of Martín Berasategui, it was published in the press in Jan. I love salted cod and this sauce is gorgeous, easy and tempting.

Originalmente, este postre tenía que haber llevado ruibarbo salteado, pero no hay forma de encontrar ruibarbo en Donosti, al menos por donde yo me muevo, así que me sirve un coulís de frambuesas que aprendí a hacer hace muchísimos años. Ha quedado tan bonito como en la foto. Se pueden hacer el día antes perfectamente y no llevan leche de vaca. ¿Qué mas se podría pedir a un postre?

1. This was supposed to have poached rhubarb on the coconut creams, but where I live, in San Sebastián, there´s no way to find rhubarb, so I thought a raspberry coulis (that I learnt to make long time ago) could work just fine. These can also be made the day before and are dairy-free. What more could you want from a dessert?.

1. I saw Jamie Oliver, in one of his tv programmes, make this swirl or snake or whatever and I took a picture to remember the step by step. I was so thrilled with the recipe, that I forgot to write the name of the recipe or make good note of the stuffing, so I haven´t been able to find the original recipe.

Amá tu que tanto me quieres y que tanto me das
