Warm, creamy and smoky baba ganoush makes us want to cuddle up under a blanket and watch good films so it’s perfect for an Autumn weekend lunch. The aubergines are best cooked in halves or if you have a gas hob you can stick the aubergine, whole, right on top of it for an extra smokey flavour – maybe just open the window a bit and make sure you turn it often! …

Romanesco, Leek & Mushroom Crumble

Tapas Time! Tortilla
Tortilla or Spanish Omelette is perhaps the most known tapas dish outside of Spain, but these days doesn’t feature so much on the tapas menus in a new wave of fancy restaurants and bars serving this ever popular cuisine. We thought we’d give a little tribute to the lovely tortilla even so, and hope you’ll enjoy making it! It’s easy, but you need to be careful not to burn the base whilst it cooks. Serve with lots of fresh parsley and preferably some Sun!!…
Tapas time! Patatas Bravas
Making some tasty tapas dishes is a easy way to cook relaxed meal for friends. Patatas bravas or roast potatoes in spiced tomato sauce are a mainstay on the tapas scene and there are many different versions – some with a very smooth sauce, others more chunky (like ours). The potatoes should be lightly roasted so they have some colour but you don’t want the skins to be too crisp. Serve along with other dishes to make a lovely colourful table at any time of year. …
