I swear, it wasn’t because I was unpopular. (Or that’s what I would like to think) One summer, I must have been in the fifth or sixth grade, I celebrated my birthday with a party. The downside of having your birthday in the summer months was that it always coincided with school holidays, which usually [...]

In Search of Perfection… Lychee Perfection
Posted in Cook, El Comedor, tagged El Comedor, lychee, mousse, rosewater on January 22, 2010 | 37 Comments »
In my younger years, perfection meant a number to me. For example: 4 – was the dress size I strove to become and so I ran every morning, joined a gym and forced myself to eat oatmeal (although I hated it) for breakfast. 5 feet 5 inches was the height I thought was ideal for [...]
Tortilla Española

Do you find that your taste in food changes over the years? I know a few people that used to detest fruitcake but now enjoy it. Growing up, one of the only tapas I refused to eat was the Tortilla . For some reason I had this notion that because it was just made from [...]

When I was little, I would sometimes tag along with my Mom when she went to work. Work, being her Spanish restaurant. Over the 34 or so years of El Comedor (that means the “Dining Room” which was what the restaurant was called), some of my best memories was when I was allowed inside the [...]

Everytime we would eat at El Comedor, among the tapas we could order, my favourite were the Croquetas de Pollo (Chicken Croquettes). I would usually order two serves at a time, one for me and one to share with others in the table because, well, they were everyone’s favourite too! In Madrid, the best Croquetas [...]
El Comedor Recipe : Brittle Torte
Posted in Bake, El Comedor, tagged Angel Food Cake, Brittle Torte, El Comedor on August 17, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Brittle Torte was my favourite dessert at El Comedor. To me it seemed like such a decadent looking cake and it stood so tall and proud with the brittle (I think they call it hokey pokey here) sticking out. I have always been a little intimidated to make this recipe but I finally decided to [...]
