messiest cook ever

messiest cook everDon’t judge me. I’m actually a great cook, love cooking. But I’m not tidy about it. Once I get going I tend to leave a trail of destruction in my wake… but the results are always tasty. I’ve tried tidying as I go, but find it gets in the way of the creative process.  😉

Anyhow, in this case I was making a tortilla and some other snacks that would end up being mostly consumed by flatmate Peter. In return he does the washing up. Win win! Because I’d never make all this stuff just for me. What’s your cooking style?

summer eatingHello July! The temps are soaring (well, kind of, still hasn’t reached mid-40s here) and eating habits also swap over to light summer-style eating. On my tapas tours people often ask what the “Queen of Tapas” eats at home. Or if I ever eat at home! Of course I do eat at home more than I eat out and, despite my appearance, I’m not actually a big eater. But I do go for the Spanish habit of making lunch my main meal of the day. Typically in summer it will be something fresh, like this arrugula, tomato and feta salad. In winter lunches tend to be a bit heartier, with stews and other dishes, which you can find on Azahar’s Kitchen. But my favourite dinner at home, any time of year, usually around 9.00 pm, is simply hot buttered toast. Comfort food.

What’s your favourite comfort food?

subversive spiralising

spiralizing

Remember (of course you do!) when I bought my first spiraliser earlier this year? Well, I have actually been using it a fair bit. It’s great for courgetti, and also for lovely thin carrot strips to put in salads and slaws. But then a couple of weeks ago I put a courgette through the spiraliser to use in a curry I was making and, just before I tossed it in the sauce, it occurred to me that it would also be nice as a crisp veggie topping. So I dredged it in flour and, after shaking off almost all the flour, fried it in olive oil. And… wow! I realise this takes us out of the super-healthy concept of what spiralisers are supposed to be about, but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

abandoned kitchen
I can’t believe it’s been A WHOLE YEAR since I posted anything on azahar’s kitchen. I only noticed after receiving the recipes from my fab cooking class at Taller Andaluz de Cocina and checking back to see how their spinach con garbanzos recipe varied from mine. And it kind of made me sad because I love cooking and sharing my recipes, but somehow there are always too many other things I need to catch up with online. Anyhow, I’ve just added a “subscription” widget to the sidebar (something that went missing – along with 265 subscribers – after moving the original WP kitchen blog over to my newest self-hosted site last summer). You know, in case you want to be notified by email if and when I start posting recipes again. It might even motivate me! 🙂
