​ Tapas Brindisa, Rupert Street

Here in Britain we are pretty used to the ingrained formula of the three course meal, especially when dining out, but sometimes it can be quite refreshing to throw convention out of the window and mix things up a bit. I’ve always loved the Spanish tapas style of eating. From a totally greedy point of…

​ Mixed Potato Spanish Tortilla

​For many many years a proper Spanish tortilla has been one of my absolute favourite dishes. It’s the dish that got me to like eggs. In my early years I really vehemently hated eggs, even now I only like them in scrambled or omelette form, I can’t eat the whites and the yolks separately (I…

Spanish Chorizo & Potato Hash

Sometimes dinners need to come together super quick and require minimum fuss and minimum washing up. One pot dishes are ideal for during the week when time, and probably also your patience, is at a premium. This super quick spanish style potato hash is thrown together in a matter of minutes and packs plenty of…

Copita, Soho

Mediterranean food has a special place in my heart. Having spent many summers in Spain, eating way too much paella and tapas, I have fallen in love with their laid back, sharing way of eating.

Mediterranean Café, Soho

Finding somewhere good to eat in Soho is not difficult, but what is difficult is finding somewhere where the food is excellent, reasonably priced and you can actually get a table without queuing for an hour or putting your name on a waiting list. You’d be forgiven for thinking such a place doesn’t exist, but…

Spanish Tortilla Lunchbox

Leftovers make great packed lunches and often make slightly too much for dinner just to make sure I have some leftover for lunch. When I make a Spanish Tortilla I’m probably looking forward to tomorrow’s lunch even more than dinner! You could also make one of these at the beginning of the week and it’ll…

Herby Spanish Tortilla

 I’ve always been a huge fan of Spanish cuisine. Tapas and paella are two of my great foodie loves, but one thing that’ll always have a place in my heart is a Spanish tortilla. I used to eat tons of the stuff on family holidays as a kid. For those of you thinking ‘oh but…

La Rueda, Clapham

Spanish cuisine is possibly one of my absolute favourites. I love a paella and I love tapas and the whole casual sharing approach to dining that comes with it. There’s just something so indulgent and feast-like about have a table full of delicious plates of food for everyone to tuck into. With no set courses…

Paella with Garlic Chicken, Chorizo & Prawns

This recipe has been a really long time coming on this blog. It’s something my Mum has made for as long as I can remember and is regularly whipped out at family parties and barbecues, so much so that several of my friends have been known to refer to it as Mama Huntley’s Famous Paella….
