I recently started a precious collaboration with still. Although many know it, for those who do not know is still, I will tell you that it is a store of precious kitchen there in Madrid, and is accessible from anywhere in the world thanks to its website.

Still is the first shop of cooking that I met in my life, and I did it with my grandmother. Every year my grandparents we took Madrid to spend a weekend. Only grandchildren, without parents, which made the trip even more appealing. In these weekend getaways where of what it was he was eating well and laugh a lot, my grandmother always made the first stop in still.

I was very young, 15 or 16 years, and I loved entering the shop where everything, absolutely everything, loved him I always bring back home with her. My grandmother used to buy the latest gadget, or the latest Le Creuset and my I loved to hang out there looking at all those moulds, rods, pans and others.

After that time, I have always returned to still in my travels to Madrid, and during the years that I lived there, I got addicted to your store and many of their classes with the best teachers come from all parts of the world.

Now, for those things so beautiful that it has life, still back to my life in a different way, in a new collaboration with a banner in Loleta, you may have noticed you can see already some weeks at all entrances, and that also now allows you to buy at a discount of 7% If you do code Loleta.
