Inspired by Maria and Natalíe Solís Ballingers recipe for Paella de gambas con curry (curried prawn paella)

From the fantastic book; Spanish Bar & Restaurant Cooking

I did not know until a few years ago, that Paella could be much more than the seafood version with mussels, seafood and wedges of lime. The first Paella I ever tasted was much like the one mentioned above, but it kick-started me into investing in my own Paella gas cooker and multiple cookbooks on the subject.

Bar nuts a la Union Square Café

Feel good and make your own snack, these nuts are a real party pleaser. You can use any mix of raw nuts that you like and you can test out other spices, herbes and sugars if you want to.

Gazpacho inspired by Jamie Oliver, found in the book Jamie does |Spain, Italy, Sweden, Morocco, Greece, France|

Try it once and you will never buy the readymade soup again, it is so easy to make and the taste is so much better. The soup is made with only raw vegetables and leftover stale bread. The toppings are up to you, more finely diced vegetables or even some crispy bacon.

Sharing is caring

The historic reason for writing down recipes was to share, to give others the possibility to recreate a dish that was created by someone else. This is also the reason why it is allowed to copy the content and the instructions of any recipe without breaking copywriter laws – the point is to share – so I am sharing with you some of my favourite recipes.

Enjoy
