(Vegetarian Variation Available Below) Asadillo is one of those simple, home-style recipes that always feels special. It’s light yet full of flavour — a mix of roasted red peppers, tomatoes, onion, boiled egg, parsley, and good-quality tuna steak. The sweetness of the peppers and tomatoes melts together beautifully, and when you add the flaked tuna and egg, it becomes the kind of dish everyone reaches for seconds of. It’s the perfect thing to make for a light lunch or an easy

This summer we spent a few wonderful days on holiday in Tuscany, where we cooked delicious food and even made homemade limoncello with la nonna . After that, we stayed a few more days with friends in another beautiful corner of the region, at the stunning property of Poggio Novoli . I can’t say we didn’t add a little to our waistlines, but we definitely nourished our souls. There’s nothing quite like cooking together with friends and family, then lingering around the table, e

…though there’s nothing poor about them! There’s a genuine love of potatoes in my mum’s cooking, and she’s something of a pro when it comes to preparing them. This is one of the many ways she makes them that we absolutely adore. We’re lucky to enjoy this dish every time we visit my parents in Andalucía. The name patatas a lo pobre  dates back to postwar times in Spain, when families had to cook with whatever was on hand. It’s a humble dish made from simple pantry staples, som

I call this my  carbonara because, while it’s rooted in the traditional recipes, it’s very much my own take. Carbonara is to Italy what tortilla is to Spain — a dish that sparks endless debate. Should it have onion? Garlic? Both? Pecorino or parmesan? Olive oil or butter? And just like with tortilla — onion or no onion, runny or set in the middle? — everyone has their passionate view. I love those little culinary arguments. After plenty of testing (and tasting), this is the v

It’s that time of year when the barbecue is out, the sun’s (hopefully) shining, and easy, flavour-packed salads are essential. We love this one: it’s fresh, vibrant, and goes with just about anything you throw on the grill. It’s also perfect with fish, and if you’re doing a seafood barbecue, feel free to add a good-quality tuna steak from a can to tie it all together. Best of all? You can make it ahead and focus on the barbecue, your guests, or just enjoying a glass of someth

Pasta alla Norma is one of those dishes that feels like a warm embrace from Italy itself. The taste is absolutely sublime—the roasted aubergine combined with the rich tomato sauce, fragrant basil, and a generous sprinkle of salted ricotta creates a harmony of flavour that’s both comforting and elegant. I make a lighter, healthier version of the traditional recipe by roasting the aubergine instead of frying it. To balance the richness, I add a little extra olive oil to the tom

We love tartar sauce in our household—it’s a firm favourite. We use it with everything from classic fish and chips to grilled fish, crispy prawns, grilled veg and even with grilled chicken. It adds that perfect creamy, tangy touch that brings any simple dish to life. This is an easy version you can whip up quickly while dinner is cooking, or make ahead and keep in the fridge for a couple of days—ready to go whenever you need it.
