Now anyone can get their Covid-Flu boosters in Andalucía (before mid-November they were doing it by age groups and by appointment only). At over 600 health centres in the region you can just pop in any Wednesday without an appointment and get your jab, though you still have to check which hours they each place is offering this service. You can look up your city here… Puntos de Vaccinación Sin Cita. 👍

Not many people could get me out of my comfy chair (and out of my pyjamas) for an impromptu meet up on a chilly November evening, but an unexpected message from Jorge Guitian did the trick. He was stuck in town overnight when, returning from a job in Cádiz his flight home was cancelled, so of course I had to take him to Augurio. Just for a light snack and a quick catch up, and then he was off again. Sorry for the wonky photo Jorge, caught you off guard  (he’s actually quite a handsome devil, folks).

Missing are pics of the anchovy with blue cheese butter  and the crispy corn tortilla with butterfish ceviche, but here we have the carrillada and manitas ravioli in foie sauce, a beef rib taco with pickled veg and guacamole, and papaya marinated in oloroso, with sage and miso, toasted sponge cake and hazelnut ice cream. It really was a lovely surprise. Jorge is a dear friend and I don’t get to see him often enough. Hasta la próxima! 

what a night!

A while back I had the idea of writing a post on Bitesize Sevilla about Los Chicos de Petit… all the boys who started off working at Petit Comité and then moved on to open some of the most dynamic and delicious restaurants in the city. Brothers Emilio and Álvaro are still with Petit and so we all met up there for an evening of food, wine and memories. I think it’s going to be a great story. Watch this space!
