Sometimes my life doesn’t suck… especially when I get an invitation to try out the new seasonal tasting menu at Balbuena y Huerta and I get to invite my lovely friend Reyes Morales to come with me. Honestly my life and my job (one and the same) rarely suck and this is why, because of all the wonderful people I’ve met since starting my Sevilla Tapas website back in 2007. This was a very special afternoon. Check my Instagram for details.

What a great time at the 2nd Ecológica KoK Forum. I was able to attend a couple of the presentations on the second day and they were both super interesting. First up was a chat called “Cocinas del Mundo” with Juanlu Fernández and Marcos Nieto @canabota, Pedro González @kinu and Carloz González @elcevichano_es, moderated by Inmaculada Ruíz @iesheliopolis. Next Paco Ybarra @pacoybarram executive chef @fundacioncruzcampo gave a workshop on the traditional processes of fermentation with virgen sea salt: Colatura, Almorí and Garum.
I wished I could have stayed for more but I was happy to have made it to this excellent two-day event organised by my friend Mónica Trujillano @guiagastronomicaelcomensal. Impressive job, educational and entertaining. Well done Mónica! Looking forward to the next one. 👏👏👏

This has gone totally viral on Spanish (gastro) twitter.
A unique bar just like all the others.

The inaugural ASGT conference for el Año del AOVE de Sevilla took place this week at the rather splendid Casa de la Provincia. The guest speaker was Rosa Vañó, member of the Royal Gastronomy Academy and co-founder of Castillo de Canina in Jaén (where this deliciousness is produced), introduced by our president Julio Moreno Ventas. It’s going to be an exciting year… stay tuned!
This time I was reminded to stick around for the group pic afterwards (forgot during the Año del Arroz closing event last June…oops).
