Easy Chocolate Mousse

I first searched for this recipe over two years ago when I needed a quick mousse to make, probably for having guests over. I've been dying to add to my blog because I use it all the time and because it's different than other types of mousse, at least the ones I've seen here in Portugal.

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

This might seem silly, but if I'm being really honest, one of the main things that's kept me from posting more often this past year is photos. Let me explain.

Walnut Brownie Cookies

I think this is the longest blogging hiatus I've had since I started La Cocina Colibrí. I have lots of excuses but the truth is I just haven't been cooking much lately. Since December I've been living here, there and everywhere and sadly, cooking or baking just hasn't been on my list.

Pisto Manchego

As mentioned in my previous post, I wanted to make pisto manchego, a delicious Spanish dish which is something like the French ratatouille.   Then I had a slight hang up and had to make the salsa de tomate frito that goes into it.  Now, however, presuming that in the few weeks since I left you with my recipe for tomate frito you have made it, I present you with the full and delicious recipe for pisto manchego.

Salsa de tomate frito

Ever since living in Spain, attending my first and only lesson at a cooking school there, and being obsessed with El País’s food blogger El Comidista, I’ve been into making Spanish food. With a stack of recipes from the cooking school and countless ones online, I’ve been able to make everything from croquetas to gazpacho. Still, one of my favorite dishes has always been pisto manchego.
