So I ate my very first fresh fig today. Yeah, I know (I KNOW). But then one thing led to another and now on Monday you can read ALL ABOUT FIGS on Bitesize Sevilla 🍊 Stay tuned!

This was fun! The second Gastrogarden Fest was held this past weekend down by the river so I met up with Jeanine and Fiona and we had a delicious afternoon together. Very impressed by the line up of top restaurants participating, and also those involved with cooking demos in the events room downstairs. I didn’t actually make it to any of the demos or wine tastings, but will certainly plan to next time. Hopefully by then I will have ditched the crutches (really hard to attend these things otherwise).

It’s snail season and time for another Caracolia 🐌🐌🐌. The fourth edition starts today with 13 establishments from Sevilla (city and province) bringing their best down to the riverside venue next to the Torre del Oro. I am going to try and get down one day, though I have to admit I’m unlikely to try more than one version (the secret is in the sauce). I like them well enough, but a little goes a long way. If you’re in Sevilla pop down and try them out. You can read more about the annual gastronomy festivals organised by the Academia Sevilla de Gastronomía (of which I am a proud member) here… Festivales Gastronómicos de Sevilla.

Last week Cádiz sommelier (and wine bar owner) Jonatan Cantero held the first Tinglao Wine Fest on the rooftop of the Hotel Mercer Plaza in Plaza San Francisco. I went with my friend Gracie and we enjoyed fabulous wines presented by a selection of bodegas and distributors, handpicked by Jonatan, and accompanied by delicious bites including the best bellotas, oysters, cheeses and gildas galore. Great music too! It was a lovely evening out. Already looking forward to the next one. 🍷
