A few shots from last week’s food photography workshop hosted by Pando Restaurantes and led by the amazing Manolo Manosalbas (in the black shirt). You can read more about it over on Azahar Sevilla, and also see the photos I took. We also got to eat our subjects. 🙂

I’ve been following Elba on both Twitter and Instagram for ages. She is not only as obsessive about posting fab food pics as I am, but a lot of her photos are taken in Sevilla and Málaga. So a few days ago I left a comment under one of her Sevilla food pics that we should meet for a tapita one of these days, and she agreed that this would be a great idea.
Then, when I was walking home from the Sherry On Top event on Wednesday evening, Peter and I decided to stop into Tradevo Centro for a penúltima. On the way in I spotted a spectacular looking fish dish and asked the people sitting at the table if they would mind if I took a photo of it (yeah, I know…). And one of the women said “Are you Azahar???” and we both went a bit crazy then, laughing and hugging like old friends. Of course, it was Elba. And it turns out we are actually neighbours! So plans are now afoot to do some serious Tapas Research together. LOVE social media…

Sherry and live music on various Sevilla hotel rooftops with spectacular views… what’s not to love? Last night I was invited by Vinos de Jerez to the opening Sherry On Top event at the Hotel Inglaterra. It was great fun, with a sherry tasting (fino, oloroso, cream cocktail) followed by music by local band Los Quiero and more sherry cocktails.
Read all about it on Azahar Sevilla!

Aside from asparagus season, blueberry season is my next favourite. LOVE having a small bowl of these delicious lovelies every morning with yoghurt. It’s coming to an end now, and soon the blueberries will be double the price and coming from far-flung places around the world. Enjoying it while it lasts.
What’s your favourite seasonal fruit or veg?

Further to my summer eating post, I came across this article in Saveur Mag the other day. I plan to try a whole whack of these babies and thought it would be a nice thing to share. That radish, cilantro and goat cheese one looks amazing, but they kind of all do.
