This is probably a new way of eating it to most people, in a salad and pairing perfectly with the intensity of the chorizo!

A refreshing recipe for the summer!

The Basque region has brought to us the best Spanish chefs, restaurants, and a whole range of innovative cooking techniques. This fish dish, though, is as traditional as it gets.

This is a real grandma’s dish, that is why it’s one of my favorites.

This traditional Andalusian dish can be prepared in a snip and is ideal for chucking in whatever ingredients you happen to have in the fridge

I cooked this dish in March for the BBC1 TV show called Saturday Kitchen. I made it live in just 8 minutes, which tells you that if you are well organized this could be not just a delicious fish dinner to conquer your partner with, but as well it can be done in no time.

In Spain we do have turkey for Christmas as well. In my family we prepare it in this really different and very special way and of all the turkeys I have tried in my life I can assure you this is the best by far! We Botox de turkey with brandy and we massage the turkey after some yoga exercises. When I say that something is the best and special is for a reason. Be prepared for a very unique Christmas turkey recipe with all the trimmings.

In my family we eat this dish of braised red cabbage with apples as a starter on Christmas Eve. I’m a born and bred Madrileño and this is a very traditional Christmas dish; in fact I can’t recall a Christmas without it. My great aunty Tere is always in charge of this dish but I am the one she gives it first to try, to check if it’s missing something. I have learned from the best.

Let’s talk about Christmas. In England you have lots of traditions that include clothes, Christmas songs, food, mulled drinks and sweets. Who doesn’t eat mince pies over the Christmas season?
