One note:
Mikel is a good friend and you should check him out. He has one of the most popular food blogs in Spain (http://blogs.elpais.com/el-comidista/) He is known as "El Comidista", or "The Foodist" in Spanish." His blog is not only incredibly delicious with THE best, simple recipes, but it is also incredibly insightful, witty and sometimes very political. Just this week he wrote about why your clothes smell like fried food after eating at certain places. In the past he has written about key basic ingredients you should have in your pantry to cook Chinese, or music you should listen to when cooking. His Spotify lists are a must (in a prior life he was a music country at El Pais).
