Aside from offering my own Sherry & Tapas Pairings, and launching the new Sherry & Tapas tour with We Love Tapas during Sherry Week 2016, I went out with trusty sidekick Peter @SVQconcierge to sample a few of the Ruta de Tapas offerings by local bars. We only managed 9 bars, but oh well…

It’s not often I get so excited about a new tapa at a bar, especially if it’s just going to be either a one-off or occasional daily special. But the other day while on a tapas tour I came across these judiones in the cold salads showcase at Las Teresas and knew I had to try them. Basically REALLY BIG white beans (these are Judioines de la Granja from Segovia), cooked until tender and then marinated in olive oil with garlic, and tossed with spring onion and jamón. HEAVEN.

It was great meeting Ansel from Culinary Backstreets this week. He was in town with his family for a short visit, and we found some time to get together on one of my Sherry & Tapas Tours. Looking forward to meeting up again in Lisbon!

Today was a day off, so of course I spent it working. But it was pleasant work, taking Delia around to learn the ropes for the We Love Tapas Market & Tapas Tour. There are a couple other new tours coming up on WLT so stay tuned…

Another menu tasting invitation this week – this time at the always fabulous La Azotea (I was invited to their Santa Cruz location, aka The Office). As I had a day off on Tuesday it seemed like a good opportunity to drop by and try some of the new dishes on their updated seasonal menu. As you can see… it was all delish.
