My Favourite Food.

Certainly, it is a very difficult topic: food and culinary art are wonderful, as much in the experience of eat as in the experience of create. This is a very interesting topic for me, because one of the activities I love to do is to cook. I really like to mix textures and flavors, try new recipes, and try to make a tasty, healthy and vegan dish at the same time. So, I prefer to eat in if it is possible, that's why I use the JUNAEB food allowance to buy at the supermarket once a month and prepare my own food. I prefer to prepare my food by myself basically for three reasons: 

1. because I'm vegan, so it is often difficult to find food anywhere.

2. because I really care about my health, so I try to avoid processed food (that is most of the food you can buy anywhere). One of my dreams is to have a vegetable patch, but it is hard in a apartment.

3. because I love to create. I really enjoy to cook and show other people my creations.

If I would have to choose one favourite food, I think it could be "pasta with spinach and cream". This is my recipe: First of all, I grind: onion, garlic, spinach, mushrooms, and sweet pepper. Then I make a sauté with the onion, garlic and sweet pepper, adding some condiments, as salt and pepper; while the soy and brown pasta are cooked at boiling water. Next, I add the soy and mushrooms to the sauté, and condiments too (like cumin or turmeric). Then, I add the vegetable cream with the spinach, mix everything and: VOILÀ!

Sometimes I lay away some onion to caramelize it (it gives a very delicious contrast for me). Also I added some crushed "nachos" once (it gave a interesting texture contrast with the soft pasta).

There are a few pictures of some dishes I have cooked.
