The evidence of the sea
Furthermore, when you live near the Andalusian coast, fish is much more than a food, that's obvious. At 45, I made fish and vegetables the basis of my low-carb cooking. It is an association of formidable purity and effectiveness. Fish provides us with high-quality proteins and essential fats, while vegetables provide us with necessary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Together, they form a harmonious duo that respects our biology and delights our taste buds. This is the basis of Mediterranean balance, reviewed from the perspective of modern health.
The diversity is endless. Grilled sardines with royal sea bream, juicy prawns with tender squid. Each species has its personality, its texture, its taste. We learn to cook them with respect, without distorting them. Just cooking, precise seasoning, and the magic happens. Fish is the ideal low-carb ally because it is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in nutrients. It gives us stable energy and an incomparable feeling of lightness. It is a cuisine of clarity and vitality, which allows us to stay in shape while enjoying ourselves.
The vegetable garden
So, what would fish be without vegetables? They are the garden of our plate, bringing color, crunch and freshness. We favor seasonal vegetables, full of sunshine and flavors. Zucchini, eggplant, spinach, asparagus, tomatoes. They are prepared in a thousand ways: roasted, sautéed, in salad or in a light puree. They are the essential support for our proteins. Replacing starchy foods with an abundance of vegetables reduces the glycemic load while increasing nutrient density. It’s a winning choice on all fronts.
This plant abundance allows us to be creative. We play with textures, we combine flavors, we create contrasts. A grilled sea bass on a bed of crunchy fennel, a tuna steak with melting ratatouille, shrimp sautéed with garlic and parsley. Cooking becomes a game of composition, where each ingredient has its place and its role. We rediscover the pleasure of eating real products, without artifice. It is a cuisine that is good for us, which nourishes us deeply and which leaves us with a clear mind and a light body. This is my definition of healthy gastronomy.
The simplicity of the gesture
However, cooking fish and vegetables requires simplicity and precision. We are not trying to mask the taste, we are trying to reveal it. A drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, some fresh herbs. That's all we need. This sobriety is liberating. It allows us to concentrate on the essentials: the quality of the product and the accuracy of the cooking. Low-carb brings us back to this culinary truth. We stop complicating our lives with heavy and complex preparations and return to direct, frank and honest cooking. It is a form of respect towards nature and towards oneself.
I continue my research with the same fervor as when I started. For me, gastronomy is a universal language of care and pleasure. I remain dedicated to offering you the best of my know-how. Join me in this culinary exploration where each bite is a step towards newfound vitality.
