Here are Pilar and Pilar, mother (75) and daughter (46)…
Some of you may remember Pilar (daughter) as one-third of my amazing Nuclear Medicine team and the friend who once very generously gave me a month while I was recovering from chemo. These days Pilar isn’t doing so well as her lupus has returned big time and she has had to take another leave from work, but she was finally feeling well enough to meet for lunch today. And mama Pilar is presently enjoying being in remission after cancer treatment this past year. So when we raised our glasses and said “salud” it suddenly struck us all that this had extra meaning for us and gave the day an extra special feeling.

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.

Monday and Tuesday this week were happily spent at Andalucía Sabor, a fine food exhibition featuring Andalusian products and chefs along with cooking demonstrations and food and wine tastings. It was great fun but the best part was finally meeting cookbook author Janet Mendel in person, who came up from the south coast for the event. More on Andalucía Sabor (and Janet) later on azahar’s Sevilla blog, but for now here are few pics.
