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. 👏👏👏

It’s been quite a while since I’ve travelled anywhere. Out of choice, much like I have barely worked over the past couple of months during the peak of Covid-Flu season. But three things have come up in March that have pushed me to MAKE PLANS.
The first is an awards event with the Academia Andalucía de Gastronomía in Córdoba weekend after next, which will also be a birthday present for Peter. Then mid-March I’m doing a day trip to Jerez to see my friends Julie & Steven who are back in Spain to celebrate Steven’s 80th birthday. The following week I am finally getting back to Sanlúcar de Barrameda after far too long.
Hotels and trains have been booked and I’m actually quite excited now. Of course we will be fully masked on public transport and will test before leaving for each trip just in case. Fingers crossed!

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