There’s more to stew than beef!
In fact, I prefer a chicken or fish stew over beef. I’ve presented a Spanish Fish Stew on these pages before and I do it again because it’s a really special dish that is aromatic, bursts with flavor on your palate and is good for you. In fact, this is the kind of post that makes me drool as I type — I can almost taste it again. 
I like parties, celebrations and gathering with people over food and drink, but I can’t be enthusiastic about Super Bowl Sunday. You see, the problem is I’m not a football fan and I don’t like wearing team t-shirts, drinking beer, or eating poppers and buffalo wings. What’s a gal to do? Continue Reading

There are myriad recipes out there for paella. This post goes beyond them. Do you want to know what makes a really good killer paella? Continue Reading

Recently, I’ve done tapas for lunch, tortilla Española for breakfast, mussels with chorizo for dinner — and I’m planning a decidedly Spanish menu for a dinner party on Saturday. Continue Reading
In the NW region of Spain where my maternal grandparents came from fish and potatoes are like ‘love and marriage’…♫ you can’t have one without the other! ♫
While this is not my grandmother’s recipe per se, it is definitely influenced by my heritage — and I think she’d approve. Others may quibble that it’s not actually a “stew” which is defined by ‘boiling or simmering slowly’, but I don’t know what else to call it — and it’s my blog!
