Mackerel is an oily fish, which means it's very healthy, flavorful, and also very affordable.

Soy una profesora de latín y griego clásico, jubilada. Disfruté con mis alumnos del arte de aprender y sigo aprendiendo dia a dia ..de ver crecer a mis nietos, de ver subir los pasteles , de oler los guisos..Me siento afortunada de ser parte de Cookpad y de recibir tanto cariño y sabiduría de quienes aquí están . Cocino simplemente para expresar aprecio a los que estimo y me alegro enormemente de ver sus sonrisas.Ser embajadora de Cookpad España, es , para mí, un gran honor !!
