his dish is best enjoyed with a glass of the singular Redbreast PX Edition whiskey, a pair made in Spanish heaven!

his is a quick and easy “dirty” type of rice which is full of flavour and using everyday ingredients.

In England we are blessed to get a very good Trout!

This paella is a good example of how fruits can play an important role in savoury dishes.

As we get deep into the Autumn the variety of mushrooms you can find in markets multiply and as well the first Jerusalem artichokes start appearing on restaurant menus.

This is another example of what we know as “comfort food”. It is commonly eaten in winter but I can’t think of anybody who would say no to this warm stock full of flavours and nutrients at any season. Any Spaniard would be very proud of this dish, but has never been exported yet, no one I know recalls ever seen it abroad.

Artichokes are a special vegetable and they have a liquorice flavour that nothing compares to. In this case, pork is very subtle and not so full of flavour, so there is a nice harmony between the two.

This is a showstopper of a langoustines, prawns, squid and clams paella! One dish that will transport you straight into the Mediterranean coast of Spain, sun glasses on, holiday mood on, over 30 degrees, a light breeze to make it easier (I give you that) , vino blanco to hand and your family around the table.
