Been getting hooked on cilantro lately and looking for ways to use it whenever I can. Latest idea was to add whacks of it to my regular hummus recipe… and man, is it ever fab. Next up I may start making variations on pesto, using different herb and nut combinations.
What are some of your favourite “fusion” dishes?

Twenty years ago, just after I moved to Sevilla, I was given this copy of Janet Mendel’s fabulous Cooking in Spain. It’s covered in food stains and has a good number of pages marked with colourful paper clips – basically a well-used and well-loved book.
Twenty years ago I never would have imagined that twenty years later Janet Mendel herself would be sitting in my livingroom autographing this book for me.

I blame my iPhone. Used to be that I would polish off at least a book a week, but ever since I got Pippin that number has dwindled to an embarrassing handful a year (!). Which is why it’s taken me a couple of weeks to get around to enjoying Kerstin Rodger’s Supper Club.
You may recall that Kerstin (aka @MsMarmitelover) visited Sevilla awhile back and was my houseguest for a fun & food filled weekend. Well, she also very generously risked going over her RyanAir baggage weight allowance and brought me a copy her fabulous book Supper Club – my own signed copy!
And it is truly a delightful read.
Sandwiched between an extremely useful step-by-step section on how to start up your own underground restaurant and a fun collection of themed dinner ideas are lots and lots of scrumptious recipes with beautiful photos. Being pretty much vegetarian (the occasional bit of fish is becoming even more occasional) Kerstin invited other “secret supper” chefs to share their favourite meat dishes. It’s a book full of heart and humour and I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes. I am also now extremely envious of all those people on Twitter talking about what an amazing time they had at this or that Supper Club evening…
