Tapas night & a week off
I had a week off last week. I can’t remember last time I had a whole week off and even the weather agreed. I enjoyed some sunny afternoons on the beach, I ate out, breakfast, sometimes lunch and even dinner. There were whole days when I didn’t cook a thing. Not cooking didn’t mean I … Continue reading
Chorizo and cauliflower hash
It was time to raid the larder. I had food in my fridge that needed eating and that included one egg. How I was left with one egg is a mystery to me and it isn’t quite enough for anything. Well, the egg came out, as did some cooking chorizo and about a quarter of … Continue reading
Tapas dinner to chase the winter blues away
I was clearing out my fridge, there were some things still lingering after the holidays and I thought I would have a little clear out. I came across a chorizo, the gorgeous kind, made from Iberico pork, matured in sunny Spain and I knew it was time to defy this cold rain and make some … Continue reading
Cauliflower rice with mackerel in vinegar and clearing the fridge
The weather has been amazing lately, days are incredibly hot and it feels a bit awful to spend time inside. There is a pub about an hours walk along the beach from where I live and we decided to take the afternoon “off” and walk there for lunch. The day was beautiful and I love … Continue reading

I thought I would make some dishes myself but … Continue reading
Easy fast food, chorizo with wild garlic and beans
The other day we came home a bit late, we were hungry and I still had some work to do and there was no time for cooking. A quick look in my fridge told me that I had various kinds of tofu, thanks to the lovely M and a pack of organic chorizo picante from … Continue reading
Beef, chorizo and cabbage ragu
It is cabbage time at the allotment. No matter how much I love any given vegetable and no matter how carefully we plant in what seems like very small batches, sometimes I seem to end up with a glut and this year everything has grown so large as well. This is how we ended up … Continue reading
Clams in chorizo broth, green tea poached salmon and prawns in garlic infused olive oil
With Friday arriving after what felt like a long week I felt like something light but still substantial. I wanted seafood! I had quite a lot on but worked faster to make it to Sandy’s, the Fishmonger before they closed, luckily they are open until 7 pm on Friday nights. As I arrived they were … Continue reading
Egg fried hash
A friend of mine was talking about eggs the other day and ever since I have been thinking about eggs! I haven’t been home much this week so tonight I thought I would make something egg inspired. I had given eggs quite some thought and would most likely have been happy with an egg cooked … Continue reading
