Every time I prepare these empanadillas in my London kitchen, I'm transported back to my childhood in Spain, where these golden-crisp pastries were a staple at family gatherings. There's something magical about the way food connects us to our memories and loved ones.

As a Spanish chef, few dishes bring me as much joy as creating a perfect Paella de Verduras. This vegetarian version of Spain's most iconic dish holds a special place in my heart, not just for its vibrant colors and rich flavors, but for the way it brings people together around the table.

There's something magical about the aroma of garlic-infused mushrooms that instantly transports me back to the bustling tapas bars of Madrid. As a Spanish chef, Setas al Ajillo holds a special place in my heart - it's one of those dishes that perfectly embodies the simplicity and brilliance of Spanish cuisine.
