Chorizo Split Pea Soup

Split pea soup is one of my favorite soups that my mom used to make, although she didn’t prepare it too often because it was only me and her in the whole family who actually like split peas. I always thought even better, more for us! Here is the recipe for you to also give … Continue reading

Huevos Flamencos

I was wandering through the pages of a tapas book of mine when my Mr pointed out a picture I would probably never pay much attention to. A nicely colored photo of a quite simple dish, that I thought would taste as “simple” as it was described. After all, what good could come out of … Continue reading

Foodie Report: Spain – Part 1!

SPAIN Gastro Report – Part 1 We have recently spent about a week in beautiful Spain, and what is a person to do in this country than eat?!

Potaje Joaquin

A funny story about this dish, created from ingredients that were available at home.

Chorizo Flower Bread

I saw this recipe the other day at FrugalFeeding that gave me the inspiration to do something similar. I had no rosemary or thyme at hand but a half chorizo was looking at me from inside the fridge, so there we go: Chorizo Flower Bread! I halved the amount of the original recipe. Ingredients: • 250g … Continue reading
