I was on a plane to San Francisco last Thursday when my phone was bombarded with emails, text messages, tweets and phone calls. Gwyneth Paltrow's weekly newsletter on GOOP came out and she had listed Cannelle Et Vanille as one of her favorite food blogs, along with Matt Bites, David Lebovitz, Smitten Kitchen, What Katie Ate, Oh Joy Eats, Pictures and Pancakes, Orangette, Tastespotting and Stay At Stove Dad. What an honor. It's Gwyneth Paltrow after all and I was on her radar. Wow. Thank you.
And then, today, my first television appearance on Basque cooking show Robin Food aired. Again. Thank you.
We filmed the show in August when I went home on vacation. The set is located right outside one of the most prestigious restaurant kitchens in the Basque Country. Three Michelin star chef Martin Berasategui is executive producer of the show. He was funny and kind and introduced me to his staff right before we began filming the show.
I was nervous as can be, but Robin Food's host David de Jorge made me feel welcomed and at ease. We chatted and laughed before the show and then I felt like I had known him for years. We had so much fun during the show and I think it shows.
We cooked honeydew, cucumber soup with serrano ham crackers and my favorite quinoa milk pudding with wild berries. It was thanks to their team led by chef de cuisine Joseba Lezama that everything went smooth and as planned.
You can watch the entire show on their website. It's in Spanish, but I hope you enjoy it!
Eskerrik asko eta Viva Rusia!

Congrats on the GOOP mention Aran.
Robin looks like a fun guy. His studio/kitchen looks amazing. Wish I could have understood conversation.
A big [virtual] hug and pat on the back to you. :)
Very Exciting! Congratulations!
Te lo mereces todo y no sabes lo mucho que me alegro de todos tus éxitos...
Mil bss...
How could anyone not put Cannelle et Vanille on their top food blog list? The design soothes, the pictures inspire, and the recipes never fail. I came out of lurk-mode to say it. :) Congrats!
Señor, con el tiempo que llevo siguiendote, y no tenía ni idea de que eras paisana.
Pues ahora me alegro muchiiiiiiisimo más. Acabo de ver un trocito de tu aparición en ROBINFOOD, y me quedo maravillada.
Mucha suerte en todos tus proyecto.

Wow, congrats! That is such an honor. I am sure the Lord has many great blessings in store for you. Angie
Yo lo estaba esperando desde que en agosto dijiste que te venías de vacaciones y lo grababas.
Enhorabuena por las dos cosas. Me ha encantado verte "en acción" y que confirmes que no hace falta gran equipamiento para poder conseguir resultados fantásticos.
Un abrazo
Congrats Aran! Well deserved. And you are a natural for TV!
Enhorabuena guapa! Me encanta el blog y adooooro las recetas :)
Bueno Aran, después de dudas, correos, risas, recetas y un diagnóstico de celiaquía bajo el brazo te pongo voz y gesto, porque ya te había visto. Me ha gustado tremendamente verte, oirte, observar como cocinas, la naturalidad de nuevo con la que tratas del tema de la intolerancia... Vaya, un placer, de corazón.
Millones de besos sin gluten y ya solo me queda tomar un café algún día.
Congrats! You inspired me to start my blog and you continue to inspire others~
This is beyond wonderful. Congratulations and well deserved!
I enjoy receiving GOOP and wasn't surprised at all that you were mentioned...you have a gorgeous blog and it's refreshing that you were surprised. Congrats! :)

Robinfood was a joy to watch... you did an amazing job. It is nice to put a voice to all your sweet, inspiring words.
And I must say - those were the biggest vanilla beans I've ever seen.

That's an honor:)
Not surprised, your blog is divine!
Aran, felicidades. De verdad que te tienes muy merecido todos los cumplidos. Que entretenido e interesante el programa. Ojala tengas oportunidad de hacer mas. Harias muy bien de host de un programa de comida.

Excited and proud for you! I was thrilled when I got the GOOP newsletter and saw your mention. You are a force of nature; you're reaping the rewards of your hard work.
Congratulations on the show (you are gorgeous!) and the mention on Goop! Love Goop and I can imagine how thrilling it must be to be mentioned by Gwyneth :) All is well deserved though because you have such a wonderful site!
Aran, It's really a joy to watch you cook. I'll continue to read your blog as long as you are there to share with us.

¡¡¡Lo he visto!!! Great program, Aran, it was good to see you cooking (and making everything look so simple). When you kept back that recipe from your blog post, I thought it meant a book ...
Zorionak, guapa, you did really well. And GOOP is going to send your ratings sky-high.
Un abrazo/Judith
Congratulations! What a fabulous story and I must say, how could anyone not agree with Gwenyth? I mean, your blog, writing, recipes, food photos - are all amazing! So glad I found you. You make my day a little bit nicer. :)
I wish you endless success!

Congratulations on both accounts :) I will watch the show, but my Spanish is terrible...
Hi Aran,
Enhorabuena, que naturalidad y vaya piropos de Robin Food, me encantan las dos recetas, con esta intervencion, me animo y mañana compro los ingredientes para hacerlas... Veia tan preciosisimo tu blog y tus fotos que no pensaba que podria hacerlas... Te sigo con cariño cada post.
You are going place!! Heartiest Congrats Aran.
What a fantastic experience for you! Well done you deserve it
How exciting! Congratulations. Much deserved. I'm not surprised you were on Gweyneth Paltrow's radar :) I love reading GOOP!
Heidi xo
Aw, Aran, it was so nice to hear your voice! Even if I only understood about 20% of what you were saying. ;)
Congrats again on both accomplishments!
Thanks guys! I'm happy most of you watched it even if it's in Spanish! Thanks so much! :)
Hola, !que maravilla!, que chica mas simpatica, dan ganas de aprender ingles nada mas que para empaparse de tu blog. Un programon con David de Jorge. Pues nada, enhorabuena por ser como eres, un saludo.
Aran! You come across utterly FAB on TV!! I'm sitting here watching you with a big smile on my face as it's really bizarre to see you in the flesh and speaking Spanish (as I know what it's like to move to a different country but I often wondered whether you would speak with an American twang now (more-so when you'd be in the US speaking English) - I understand when you go home and speak Spanish you'd sound the same as ever) But overall, you are a total natural on TV. Jokes aside, seriously - Martha better watch out!! ;) x
et bien voila ! nous ne sommes pas les seuls a avoir du gout ;) et consulter ton blog tres tres souvent !
Bravo !!
corinne
Viva Rusia! Sofan gaixo nengoela ikusi zintudan, asko gustatu zitzaidan zu lanean ikustea, oso polita atera da programa. Zorionak!!
Felicitaciones! Congratulations! I found you on GOOP and now i'm a new fan of yours. You have a wonderful, inspiring site!
Aran, oso-oso ondo...zure saio partikularra izan beharko zenuke telebistan...berdin hemen zein Floridan...gustora ikusiko genuke. Eta GOOP-ena... enfin ahobete hortz geratu gara zure jarraitzaile guztiak. Biba zu! (eta Rusia ere, noski!)
Waw that's exciting!
Enhorabuena!!!
Wonderful. You do such great work, it is very nice to see the world respond in kind. Congratulations!
Very cool. You looked radiant and natural! Now that's also emphasizing that I need to brush up my Spanish!
¿ 10 horas para crear un post? Guau!!! Good job; eso bien merece el reconocimiento que esta llegando. Enhorabuena, Aran
congrats!!!
WOW big congratulations to you - I really wished I could understand what was said...
Your images are beautiful, full of inspirationa nd nostalgia.

Me ha hecho mucha ilusión verte!
Aupa Aran, telebistan ikusi zintudan eta saioa, zu eta erretzetak asko gustatu zitzaizkidan. Espero dut berriz ikustea hemendik!! mezu hau gauzatxo bat galdetzeko baliatuko dut: badakizu erretzetaren bat loreekin. Esterako, entsaladaren bat, cous-cousen bat? Mila esker!!
Hi Aran, I saw you on TV and I liked so much the tv show, you and the recipes. I hope to see you again!! I wonder if you know any recipe made with flowers. For example a salad, a cous-cous? Thanks a million (and sorry for my translation)!!
Maitza- Eskerrik asko, benetan. Lorak ensaladetan sartzen dodaz askotan eta zuk dinozun lez, couscousean be gozo egongo ziren. Post honetan sartu nebazan baita http://cannelle-vanille.blogspot.com/2010/04/heirloom-tomato-and-quinoa-galette-with.html
felicitaciones por el programa de tv, el conductor parece enamorado de ti jajaja, es un maestro el loco ese. Muy bueno, gracias por compartir.

Muxu!

Congrats for all the success! It was so nice to see you in action. You looked really relaxed and natural. And I understood suprisingly much of the Spanish talk considering that I've never studied Spanish, only a couple of years Italian :)
congratulations on the attention and success! Your blog is amazing, and the photos are beyond fabulous. I have a food blog and am a professional chef, but it is something I do between the hundred other parts of my life. I love coming to look at your blog now and then to get inspired and say WOW! I hope you'll check out my blog sometime, but mostly, just keep on making wonderful food and creating fabulous presentations for all of us to enjoy! -Tagan taganskitchen.blogspot.com
I love your blog, not to mention the amazing photography, it is really inspiring! this time around I actually started laughing, because your last lines in Euskera I ACTUALLY understood... you see my fiance is Basque from Lekeitio and he is teaching me the language (which is pretty hard!)
so thanks for the wonderful blog!
David y tú parecíais hermanos que se reencuentran. ¡Qué buen rollo de programa! Felicidades Aran, eres estupenda.
