Ascen Jiménez

Hello everyone! I am Ascen, passionate about cooking, photography, gardening and, above all, enjoying time with my five children! I was born in sunny Murcia, although my roots have a touch of Madrid and Alcarreño thanks to my parents. When I was 18 years old I ventured to Madrid to study Advertising and Public Relations at the Complutense University. It was there where I discovered my passion for cooking, an art that has been my faithful companion ever since and that led me to become part of the Yela Gastronomic Society. In December 2011, my family and I embarked on a new adventure: we moved to Parma, Italy. Here I discovered the gastronomic richness of the Italian "food valley". In this blog I enjoy sharing the dishes that we cook at home using our beloved Thermomix or the Bimby, as it is known in these parts.
