I came across this recipe for Via Carlota’s Insalata Verde on Bluesky the other day and have been dying to try it ever since. So yesterday I went out in search of greens and ended up with five of them, though not exactly the same combo as those in the recipe (who cares, right?) but… THIS is only half of what I bought. I mean, those frisée are monsters. So now I have greens galore and, as you know, there are only two of us here. But I actually like the idea of having a nice bunch of mixed greens, washed, chilled and ready to go. A handful here, a handful there. Will be putting my version of the salad up on Azahar’s Kitchen soon(ish). Already have some concern over the vinegar/olive oil ration… will let you know.

Spotted on Twitter…
How do you make ceviche without fish? YOU DON’T.
You make a salad with a lime juice dressing. Duh.

Some of you may know that one of my (too many?) websites is azahar’s kitchen, a recipe blog that I started back in 2009. It’s “moved house” a couple of times over the years, from WP.com to my own hosted sites.
Some of you may also be aware of a recent flutter of activity on that blog, which started after I published a new recipe (requested by my friend Ann when she saw a pic of my albóndigas al oloroso on social media). Then I found a bunch of photos that I had filed away for “later”, so I have added text to those and put them up too. There are still a couple to go.
This is totally a “hobby blog” just because I enjoy cooking, and also sharing the recipes I come up with (sometimes on my own, more usually a combination of several recipes I’ve found online or in books, which then get edited into one I prefer. So drop by and have a look. You can also subscribe to be notified when new recipes go up. 🙂

Got a surprise delivery today – my own SIGNED copy of José Pizarro’s new cookbook! I’m so excited. This was so unexpected but also just the sort of thing José would do. You may remember when he came to town last May with his team to do research for this book, and I took them around to some of my favourite traditional bars. I was thrilled to see at the Spanish Embassy party last week that not only was I given a mention in the acknowledgements, but there was also a photo of us from our day out. And now I have my own copy!
It’s a gorgeous book and I can’t wait to try out the recipes. Publishing date is May 30th but you can pre-order it here from Amazon. Happy cooking!
