We will never see Karlos Arguiñano in MasterChef, nor in Antena 3 competition spaces, where he appears from Monday to Friday with his delicious, delicious recipes: relatively inexpensive dishes, affordable to make and for the family budget, in most of the recipes. The veteran chef continues to lead his programs when he already has plans for his son Joseba to definitively take over from him on screen in the not-too-distant future. His appearances in El Hormiguero, this Thursday, are celebrated by the audience. But it is not common beyond this format for him to be seen on other sets.
At 75 years old, the Basque chef is still full and in shape. He takes care of himself at every moment, with his long ten kilometer walks as a daily exercise habit and a moderate calorie diet. His trick: the CLM, Comer La Mitad, reminds him constantly.
But the San Sebastian native also has margin, between his daily work rhythm, Take things easy and enjoy it at ease. That moment is breakfast, when he goes to the corral and brings an egg to put in the frying pan. Eggs that are sometimes warm, just laid by the hen: absolutely fresh.
That egg for breakfast, “because you have to start the day well, not with coffee, that’s for students,” Arguiñano joked this Thursday.you eat it fried, scrambled or in an omelette. Boar’s head, poached chives, were some of the suggestions named. At that time he feels like cooking, as always. If it is to start the day well, Karlos takes that first moment very seriously.
And the most important. He usually does it “nakedly.” “Don’t you have breakfast naked?” the chef asked the El Hormiguero audience with a laugh. “Maybe you have breakfast in a suit,” she ironized.
Having breakfast naked and then serving it at the table without too many clothes that would interfere with the comfort of that moment is a ritual for Arguiñano, who gets up early so that the day is going on and that he wakes up with the taste of a hearty dish before the walk. and the daily recording session. A breakfast in balls so that the rest of the day goes smoothly.
