Short Break in Barcelona: Barcelona is a ‘must visit’ destination so the opportunity to experience a weekend winter’s getaway combined with an invitation to stay at the glamorous Cotton House Hotel was too good to turn down.

Catalonia – Part 2

My journey through Catalonia continues to Osona…. Having left the charms of Berguedà behind me, I continued on my exciting journey through Catalonia where my entire itinerary was a complete unknown.  In the hands of my guides, I became accustomed to arriving in new places with no idea what was in store for me… It […]

All about the Basque Part III – San Sebastian

Of Cooks and Kings – San Sebastian: On those short trips where you have just a day or two in each destination it is always hard when the weather decides not to play nice.  Our half day in San Sebastian was marred by a downpour which lasted for most of the day and resulted in […]

My Catalonian Journey of Discovery

Cava and More in Catalonia, Spain: Catalonia is commonly associated with the lively beaches of the Costa Brava, the creative geniuses of architect Antoni Gaudi and artist Salvador Dali and, of course, its vibrant capital Barcelona.

All About The Basque II – Vitoria-Gasteiz

Salt, Beans and Tortilla in Vitoria-Gasteiz Perhaps the single most important ‘ingredient’ for our forefathers, salt was not simply a seasoning but the most effective way known to preserve food through the barren winter months. Today, with modern refrigeration the idea of salting our meat and fish is more a culinary device than a means […]

All about the Basque (part 1)

An Introduction to the Basque Country – Bilbao: Just back from a five-day gastronomy tour of the Basque Country, which took me from Bilbao to Vitoria-Gastiez to Rioja Alavesa then San Sebastian, before returning back to Bilbao, I’m still enthralled by the wealth of food and the cultural heritage of the region.  This is an introduction, […]

Calçotades and Cava – a day trip to the Penedès

Calçotada – Catalan tradition in the Penedès with Vilarnau: It is that time of year when I ache for a little sunshine.  Accepting an invitation to a calçotada at the Vilarnau winery in search of Spanish sunshine turned out to be overly optimistic.

  • April 12th  - National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day

    The USA celebrates National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12th.   Well, why not?   Regarded as one of the top comfort foods in America, the version we eat today originated in the 1920s when sliced bread and American cheese became easily available.  

    image

    Of course, those of you from the USA and those of you wishing to join the celebrations can do so in London!  Head for the glamorous art-deco inspired Colony Grill at the Beaumont Hotel and you’ll find the menu offers a Grilled Cheese sandwich with Dill Pickle, perfect for National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.  While you are there, enjoy a cocktail or three - and perhaps a couple of other American classics - we love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and perhaps Bananas Foster flambeed in dark rum for dessert. 

    Enjoy!
