We tend to eat out each day as we're on holiday there. (Could be that I have a brand new oven that I don't understand how to use as the instructions are in Spanish !) I found this website & thought I'd share it with you. http://www.xmission.com/~dderhak/monte/edrink.htm It has lots of recipes to attempt yourselves. Click on blue links. An assortment of tasty Paella recipes in English. Everyone's favourite, Tortilla de Patatas. Sweet Flan for dessert. Real Spanish Gazpacho - to put hair on your chest. Milk of the gods - Horchata de Almendra (English). Some favorite Spanish Christmas recipes Staight from Valencia - Horchata de Chufa. (Good luck finding chufa!) That awesome Spanish bread you craved - Pan de Horno. How to make delicious, hot Churros with chocolate that taste like fresh ones from a churrería. List of best-selling Spanish Recipe books. _______________________ Be respectful to other members who try to help. There's nothing to be gained by being offensive. Spam post?

Nothing like traditional kebabs, curries and pizzas is what I say. Spam post? If so please click here to report it

We have several locally where there are between 60 and 100 different tapas to choose from. l have my favourites but like to try anything new too. They are great places to take visitors as you just order loads to go onto the table and everyone tries what they fancy. The children are usually the more adventurous. There are also many cookery books available, in english, for you to try out at home BUT half the fun is being out and about. _______________________ Margery www.spiritofspain.net Spam post?

Smoke ugh, give me clean air please. We need to explore in June. Lucky you living over there spiritofspain you don't have to cram so much into a certain time.
