Foodies from all around the world!
Hey there! We’re Daniela and Lucía. As you know, there are lots of countries on Earth, and all of them have different cultures. Amazing, right?
Cultural things are different and unique, and food is a cultural thing too. So, what about food?
You should try food from different countries. I’m sure it will be different from yours and you will love them! Today, we want to tell you about some food from different countries. Are you ready?
Let 's go!
First of all, we are going to talk about Italian food. It’s one of the most popular cultural foods you could eat. The proof for that is that most of us have already eaten a pizza or a bowl of pasta, right? But Italian food goes much further than that! Italian cooks use some special sauces, such as pesto sauce, and make recipes slightly different from the Italian recipes we cook here. We advise you to try these fantastic dishes, we’re sure that you won’t regret it!
We must talk about Mexican food, if we could describe it in just one word, it would be: Scrumptious. Mexican food includes a variety of awesome products that will make your tongue delight.
The most emblematic dishes in Mexico are Tacos and burritos, they consist of a slew, either meat, vegetables… wrapped in a thin and tasty layer of bread. It’s simple, but trust me, it’s yummy!
Mexican food also stands out because of its sauces such as Guacamole, and its exquisite vegetables such as chili, trying that is a real challenge!
If you are searching for delicious and exotic food, don’t search for more. Thai food it's your answer! Thai food offers you a mix of spicy, salty and sweet flavors, out of this world!Pad thai is the most notable dish in the country.
In Thailand one of the most used ingredients is very tasteful rice, which is actually toothsome with soups and frites.
One of the most notable dishes in Thailand is Pad Thai, which is chicken fried rice noodles, made with egg, tofu, vegetables, and a spooky sauce. It 's just heavenly!
In a nutshell, if you visit a foreign country, don’t forget to try their national dishes instead of eating the first thing you see. Always try to taste new things, that’s a good way to know other cultures and, of course, enjoy the magic of cooking. Goodbye!

TORRIJAS
TORRIJAS
Torrija is a dessert in its most classic and traditional version, consisting of a slice of bread soaked in milk, later battered in egg and fried in oil. Finally, it is seasoned with sugar, although they can be curried with honey and cinnamon. It is very popular in Spain in Lent and Easter.
Bread is a carbohydrate-rich ingredient that also contains fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. For its part, the egg is responsible for providing proteins, fats and cholesterol, vitamins or minerals such as calcium. The milk in which the bread is bathed also provides a significant amount, as well as fat, cholesterol and vitamin.
It has the same calories as a regular whole-grain toast. Therefore, I recommend you to try this dessert, it is very healthy.

HOW IS OLIVE OIL MADE?
HOW IS OLIVE OIL MADE?
The province Jaen is known worldwide as the cradle of the best olive oil in Andalucia and Spain. Its olive trees provide half the total production of olive oil in our country and 20% in the world. In Andalucia, It’s typical to eat bread with olive oil and sugar on 28th of February as a tradition.
1. First, we have to hand pick the olives by shaking the tree with sticks, and catching them in a net. Then, we have to harvest them with large vibrators.
2. When we have all the olives collected, we have to remove the leaves and clean the olives.
3. It’s time to put the olives in stainless steel mills to grind them with heavy granite stones.
4. Now, we need to mix the pulp in a large machine.
5. When it’s mixed, we have to extract the oil by cold pressing to take the liquid.
6. With the help of filters, we filter the oil.
7. When we have finished the previous process, we have to bottle the oil. .
The last step is ENJOYING AT HOME!
