A few days ago my daughter and I did the best duet in the history of world music singing Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), while Freddie Mercury tried in vain to match our impeccable performance and infectious energy.

In addition to the unmatched artistic quality of the event, what moved me most was seeing how my daughter knows this and other songs by heart that are ‘my’ songs. That is, those of my time and my artists.

How is it possible –I wonder– that this fan of Ed Sheeran, Destiny Rogers and Sean Mendes knows Queen, Celia Cruz and Los Tigres del Norte? Why do you like them so much and praise them enthusiastically?

The answer, I believe, is that there is no choice. Well, when his father cooks, he subjects the entire family to his eclectic musical taste. Luckily, my daughter has decided not to imitate the dance steps with which she also seasoned my batch cooking sessions.

Well, the end of year holidays are coming, so I hope you take the opportunity to cook this menu as a family, which includes three servings of legumes, two of fish,
