This week I have something exciting to tell you. Is not a jam related thing. Is not even a food related thing. But it´s so exciting I really need to share it with you.

We have a donkey!!!

Yes, a donkey, a real brown, furry, gentle and adorable donkey. His name is Star and we were visiting him last weekend.

Three King's Cake (or the perfect excuse to extend Christmas one more week)

Christmas is over.

Completely absolutely ended.

If your Christmas tree is still in your living room is time to take it away. No, is not giving a vintage look to the room. Yes, it´s starting to look odd.

Farmhouse Soup in a Bread Bowl

Every time I'm on holidays I try to visit the local market. For me, it is a perfect way to meet the people, the customs and the traditional foods of the area.

I can easily forget some of the things I see in the places I've visited, but I always remember the smell, the colour and the people of their markets. 

Pistachios, Walnuts and Dried Apricots Cottage Biscuits

Cooking with the family is one of the best things to do in Christmas time. In the kitchen, everyone is relaxed and conversation flows from one subject to another. 

Is cooking when most intimate secrets and wishes are shared. Where the great family anecdotes are remembered. And where the most amazing discoveries are made.

Flourless lime and Coconut cake

1000. One thousand. 1k. A lot.

This is the amount of Tiny Marmalade pots we've sold so far. 1000. Amazing.

Timbale Duo or the ultimate Uncooked recipe

This week has been a normal week.

A week to switch off the alarm clock at 6.30. To have a shower and eat my breakfast in my way to work. A week to be in an office 8 hours per day, trying to make them as much interesting and pleasant as possible.

Autumn nuts and bacon soup

I hate you virus.

Deeply genuinely hate.

This is the fifth consecutive day of living with a virus. Five long nights with no sleep. Five long days dealing with paracetamol, ibuprofen, sore throat relief. Onions in a plate. Herbs steaming. Put the pillow up. Dress the children down. Visits to the doctor. They're still here and this virus doesn't seem to be getting the message.
