I got crazy about coriander, I haven't even supposed that I would love this taste so much. It reminds me our trip to Nepal and my Indian friend I used to work with, Ranjitha, who was explaining differences in our culture and food. Today I have made a chickpea soup with curry, turmeric, ginger, fish sauce with red pepper and chopped coriander.


I wanted to have even more coriander ;) Do you know this taste? I think you will like it or hate it. The taste is pretty strong and strange, but I really recommend at least to give a try.

A lot of vegetables with small amount of rice. Artichokes, tomatoes, lentils, olives spiced with fresh ginger, garlic and huge amount of turmeric powder.

Do you know that for some Spaniards lentils seem to be the food from the worst nightmares, because in their childhood they have to eat it as a healthy meal. I do remember disgusting, tasteless spinach that I have to eat in the kindergarten. Do you have similar memories?

Due to upcoming Christmas I made a vanilla pudding with homemade gingerbread cookies and candied orange peel with ginger - also homemade :)

Fresh oranges from the market - the season has just started. Another spring has come :) I like Andalusia the most in spring or autumn, because after rain the nature comes alive and starts blooming.
