bar lento

Last July I finally got to meet Sarah and Ian in person. Sarah and I had been online pals for years so it was great to finally get together and go out on a full-on Sherry & Tapas Tour. At the time Sarah was telling me about her plans to open a tapas bar in Winchester, UK called Bar Lento. And guess what? It opened in May! And by all accounts it’s going very well, with locals and visitors alike showing an interest. So this most recent trip back was to do a little research and hook up with some sherry suppliers. And I was very happy they made some time to meet up for lunch during their quick visit. We started off at Taberna Manolo Cateca (Sevilla’s sherry temple) and then went to one of my new all time faves Augurio. A fabulous afternoon.

If you’re in the Winchester area, check out Bar Lento.

The last time I saw my sister Sue was when she was back in town in 2014. So it was a wonderful surprise when she left a message here the other day saying she would be passing through Sevilla over the weekend with her husband Greg. Anyhow, as Paul is also in town this week we decided to all get together for a fabulous feast, with Peter joining us too.  And feast we did. We started off with a few tapitas at Casa Morales and then moved on for the “main course” at Señor Cangrejo.

It was a lovely afternoon, catching up, lots of laughs and some reminiscing. Sure hope it’s not another ten years before I see her again.

Went out for an evening walk and stopped off at Casa Morales for a snack. and then this happened. I love this place so much, the people, the ambiance, the food… and I also love that Reyes Morales has become a good friend of mine. Anyhow, I mentioned to Juana (third from left) that I hadn’t taken a photo of the team in a while and suddenly there they all were! ❤️

filming

I was asked a while ago to help a television production company with an upcoming travel and gastronomy feature in Sevilla and I was happy to do so even though they later mentioned that they also wanted me to be in the programme too (!!!). And well… eep. I had set them up with the perfect bar and chefs for filming the cooking sessions, but later they also wanted to film a “tapeo”. Again, I organised this with two of my favourite bars and got their permission and when Jaime, one of the chefs, said he’d also be going along on the tapeo I thought “great! I’m off the hook!”. Except no. They still wanted me to come along and join the small group going out.

And well, it was fun and I was happy to help my friends get some nice exposure but I seriously hope any shots with me in it end up on the cutting room floor. Also, I didn’t make it to our final bar because everything was running late, my knee was killing me, and I had a lunchtime tapas tour in Triana the next day. So I bailed and hoped they would get some good stuff at the last place. Will let you know when it comes out, sometime early 2025 is the plan. Until then I can’t say much more about it.

What a lovely surprise to see Ishay again after… 9 years! Last time we were together was in London as part of a Foodie Hub global meet up. Ishay got in touch while I was in Jerez to say she’d be in town for a couple of days with her friend Tuanni and so last night they joined me on a tapas tour with a lovely couple from Australia. We had a great time and it was lovely to her again and catch up. Our last meal together (below) at Kitty Fisher’s in London.
