Tengo un problema… Estoy enamorada… de la comida. Y no es algo así muy normal que digamos, como el enamorarse por ejemplo de un plato porque te recuerda a un momento que viviste o algo así. No, ¡yo me enamoro de ingredientes! ¡Sólo por el hecho de que son ¡BONITOS! Como los arándanos. Por suerte, […]
Receta de Gazpacho Andaluz
Los días han empezado a hacerse un poco más cortos… Pero eso no significa que no podamos disfrutar todavía del verano, ¡y de todas las delicias que nos trae! Una de ellas son los tomates. A finales del verano suelen salir tomates de todo tipo de colores y con un sabor mucho más “tomatero“ de […]
La Cooquette and the LA Food and Wine Festival – recap
The IV edition of the LA Food and Wine Festival has left me with a food comma. Not the type of “can’t-breathe-I-ate-and-hate-everything“ food comma, but in a profound state of unconsciousness due to ultimate delicious bliss. What started off with the right foot (read my highlights for Day 1) only improved during the weekend. The two […]
La Cooquette meets the LA Food and Wine Festival – Day 1
So much food… so much wine…. So many amazing chefs! Hey #LAFW14, we sure hit it off well 😉 My first night at the IV annual LA Food and Wine Festival, an exquisite 4-day culinary experience, was a complete success. The arrival at “Ultimate Bites of LA” right next to the Disney Concert Hall was […]
Paletas con Albahaca y Lavanda + Evento LAFW 2014
Días de verano = días de calor intenso achicharrante y lentitud. Necesito. Un. Respiro. O dos…. ¡congelados!: Uno de estos calurosos día me harté. No podía seguir con tanto calor sin tener algo refrescante. Por eso pensé: qué rico, ¡debería hacer mis propias paletas! Pero ya que toma como 5 o 6 horas el esperar […]
Currently Craving: Avocado Everything!
OK summer, you have got to stop. Well, actually, it can’t stop. I live in California. And yup, it won’t stop. Wait… What exactly? My passion for AVOCADOS. Well, it’s more like an obsession. Seriously, I’ve gone berserk. It’s all I’ve thought for over the past couple of months! I’ve added it to brownies, I’ve […]
Spiced Chocolate Avocado Brownies
I officially have a summer love. Name? AVOCADO. I realized I’m clinically obsessed with this green lover. I have used it many many times in very different ways for the past weeks (like as ceviche bowls, or to stuff Portobello mushrooms with kale!) and still can’t get enough of it! Yup, it is love. Check […]
“Choconut” Chocolate Chicken Strips + Coconut Chicken Strips
Once upon a time, there was a little fried chocolate chicken restaurant… WHAT? Yes. As in: CHOCOLATE + CHICKEN I went to the popular new “Choco Chicken” in LA the other night. I thought: “the creator of Umami Burger and 800 Degrees couldn’t be wrong right? Well, he wasn’t. It was oh-so-good. This out-of-the-ordinary experience […]
Avocado and Kale Pesto stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Portobello mushrooms are among those ingredientes that catch our eyes immediately! For this recipe, we have even more amazing ingredients. Don’t you love long-name recipes that slowly open up your eyes when you hear all of the ingredients they have? I am obsessed! Just look at this crowd of yummy friends: When you make these […]
Currently Craving : things I could be cooking if I had a kitchen
Moving out is sooo not fun. It’s even less fun when you still don’t have a place to move out to! I’m in the process of changing apartments but staying at a temporary place (in which I have no access to the kitchen – yup. can you picture me… without a kitchen?!) until I find […]
