August also marked by my beautiful fiancée birthday, we had a lovely time away to celebrate the occasion and enjoyed this lovely cake made by my mother-in-law, it was stunning, I can still remember how it tasted!
Hello 👋
More tomato salad, it could not be any other way given we are in tomato land. As dessert, a lovely arroz de marisco just overlooking at the beautiful sea. Lovely cold and bright Rueda not pictured but helped to settle everything down!
As always, such a nice time in this little terrace overlooking at the beautiful Mediterranean Sea enjoying life’s little treats, a nice tomato salad, amazing olives and of course, a glass of fino.
Enjoying a chill Sunday cooking a delicious stew called ”Olla Tonta” which literally translates to “Silly pot” it’s named that way as traditionally these stews will have jamón, black pudding and other meats but this particular stew is vegetarian, hence apparently the origins of the name.
“Comida de cuchara” as my Mum would say, nothing fancy but this dish it’s just so heart warming for me!
Last weekend we did a virtual cooking class with the folks at Migrateful, it was so lovely to learn a little bit more about Moroccan food and to share the experience with other people even if it was only virtually. We cooked Cauliflower, Olive and Lemon Tagine, Taktuka and Zalouk.
Thinking about this lovely Kimchi and Miso Noodle Soup that we had last week from Anna Jones. It was rich and packed of flavour, just another one to add to the favourite recipes list.
Just thinking about how delicious was this recipe from Diana Henry ‘North African seven vegetable couscous’ that we had a few weeks back. Full of colours, it just reminds me of so many stews that we had growing up and the similarities with Andalucian cuisine.
As part of our family tradition, we’ve got our first pies of the year at Goddards. We started doing this around 3 years ago and it’s my favourite thing of Autumn. They might not look so photogenic but trust me, they are delicious.
Today’s lunch was just summer on a plate. Ripe and juicy peaches, sweet basil, avocados, amazing Italian pear tomatoes full of flavour and lovely mozzarella di bufala. You couldn’t ask for anything that tasted more like summer.
