“What better pleasure is there in this world than to cook for others and then eat with them? Food, like life, is best shared with friends and loved ones”

Green Vegan Paella | Paella Verde
Let me introduce you to my paella version of the world-famous Green Juice. It's vegan, super healthy, super easy and bursting with veggie goodness! A twist on one of Spain’s most famous dishes, but just as tasty. Buen provecho!
Ham And Béchamel Croquettes | Croquetas de jamon
These deep-fried béchamel balls were sent from heaven to make us mortals a bit happier. Croquetas are famous throughout Spain – customers rave about the taste and texture while those who make them know that the best things in life come at a price – yes, they are time-consuming to prepare.
Spanish Anchovies | Boquerones
You will find these plump marinated anchovies in tapas bars throughout Spain, often served on a cocktail stick as a ‘pincho’.
Chorizo With Cider | Chorizo a la Sidra
Chorizo sausage cooked in cider is one of the easiest tapas to make – and one of the most delicious! There are only two ingredients and no chopping involved so it couldn’t be simpler.
Black Pudding and Goat’s Cheese Salad | Ensalada de Morcilla y Queso
This rich, rich salad makes a colourful centrepiece for any summer table. A perfect alfresco side dish, or serve with fresh crusty bread and olive oil for a meal on its own.
Chickpeas With Spinach and Artichoke | Garbanzos con Espinacas
This really simple vegan dish is a firm favourite across southern Spain, especially within the province of Seville. Packed full of smokey Spanish flavours, this versatile classic is quick to prepare and will be gone in a flash as well!
My Special Sangria | Mi Sangría Especial
I’m sure many of you have come across sangría before but, trust me – you won’t have tried my special recipe! The idea behind this recipe is to make the fruit release more flavour into the sangria without wasting any fruit. It takes a little longer to prepare but I think you’ll agree the effort is worth it.
Baked Eggs With Ham In Tomato Sauce | Huevos a la Flamenca
This traditional Andalusian dish can be prepared in a snip and is ideal for chucking in whatever ingredients you happen to have in the fridge – plenty of veggies, a bit of ham (bacon or chorizo) if you wish and eggs. Just a few staples thrown together.
Spanish Doughnuts WITH Chocolate | Churros Con Chocolate
This is not a recipe for the faint-hearted as it involves frying in very hot oil. In Spain you would find a ‘churrería’ in every town, where these hot, crisp, doughnut sticks are served with rich hot chocolate. Churros is one of those recipes that could go either way but stick to the recipe and follow my advice and you will be fine. I have made thousands of these – trust me!
Olive Oil, Raisin And Lemon Cookies | Galletas de Aceite
I created this recipe one day when I was searching for a good cookie that differed from traditional American flavours. It had to be healthier and encapsulate the taste of Spain.
Sangria Made With Spanish Sparkling Wine | Sangria de Cava
Cava is made in the same way as champagne. Not many sparkling wines use the same method and, to me, champagne and cava definitely have the edge over prosecco or other sparkling wines. Cava has always been a celebration drink in Spain, but with prices being so affordable these days I thought I could make a sangria with it. The result is so refreshing, fruity and sharp.
Chilled Tomato Soup | Gazpacho
This is a recipe that has been enjoyed by thousands of customers in my restaurants – incredibly tasty, so refreshing and full of goodness. In a nutshell, it is a blended salad. You can keep it in a bottle in your fridge for up to 3 days.
Slow Cooked Pork Belly With A Sweet, Spicy and Sour Sauce | Torreznos con mojo dulce
Who doesn’t like slow-cooked, soft pork belly? And if, to something this scrumptious, you add the Mojo Dulce sauce that hundreds of our tapas revolution fans have asked me to bottle and sell, then I think we have a winner.
Meat Focaccia | Coca de Requena
Across Spain we combine a variety of leavened breads, rolls and flatbreads with other ingredients. This version reminds me of a British ‘toad in the hole’, but made with a focaccia-like bread instead of batter. All the rendered fats from the meats are absorbed into the bread, resulting in a very indulgent experience.
Salt Cod Fritters | Buñuelos de Bacalao
Traditional buñuelos used to be sweet and were commonly sold in bakeries at Easter time. With time, more developed recipes have arisen to bring us buñuelos made with savoury ingredients, such as cod (bacalao), cheese or even chard. These salt cod and cheese versions – both pictured here – are totally different; I urge you to try them both as they are seriously good.
Cod With Mallorcan Chorizo Spread And SalSa | Bacalao Con Salsa Verde y Sobrasada
Pan fried cod with salsa verde and Mallorcan soft chorizo spread, also know as 'Sobrasada'. This delicious spread is made with different cuts of pork loin and bacon mixed with plenty of paprika, salt and other spices.
Spanish Eggy Bread With Custard | Torrijas con Crema Pastelera
Torrijas are the official Easter dessert in Spain. Similar to French toast they make use of old bread and like many other Spanish desserts they were invented by nuns around the 15th century.
Duck With Prunes | Pato con Ciruelas
This dish has all the elements of the perfect Christmas centerpiece, if it wasn’t for the fact it is just too easy to prepare. You know how complicated we like to make it when it comes to Christmas – nothing can take half an hour.
Spanish Lamb Stew with Olives and Dried Apricots | Guisado de Cordero
Serve with some fluffy steamed rice or lots of bread to dip into the rich sauce.
