Decoration for Halloween: Vomiting pumpkin


We couldn't just ignore the Halloween craziness that seems to be everywhere. We have been looking for some inspiration for Halloween recipes and we saw this decoration and we decided to make a different video today.. it is not a recipe, but it involves a pumpkin, so we think it is still ok! 


It is a very easy pumpkin to carve, so you don't need to be an artist. It is basically within anybody's reach. Just little bit of patience and it is ready. 


Isn't it original? We find it very funny. We hope you like the idea and you give it a try!

How to make coconut milk


     We have already made a couple of recipes using coconut milk (one of the fruit cold soups and the lemon chicken breast). They won't probably be the last ones because coconut milk is an ingredient we love. Both coconut milk and all its derivatives have had a bad reputation for some time, due to their high fat content. We know now that coconut fat is a healthy one and it is a very fashionable product in different diets. It is still a high energetic fruit, but it tastes delicious and it is healthy, so we are all for it.


     Extracting coconut milk is an easy process, although it can be a little bit tedious because you have to open the coconut and extract the meat. You can extract the milk using dessicated coconut and then it is even easier. The intensity and freshness of the flavour make it worthy. Be aware that it goes off very quickly (it smells stale, it is easy to recognize) so it is better to prepare it the day you are going to use it, or maybe maximum a couple of days before. 

     Do you want to give it a try? Here you have our new video.
