Spanish entertaining: Garlic chilli prawns and mushrooms
I have always had a fascination with Spain and its food — it is incredibly varied yet unpretentious, using the best seasonal ingredients. Many traditions have evolved around Spanish cuisine, like tapas — a series of snacks eaten before the main meal, which is usually later in the evening. We have featured a selection here for you to enjoy.
