So several weeks ago, when it was bitter cold in London, we went for dinner at a Spanish friend's house. We had her for dinner before and she wanted to show us traditional Spanish cooking in return. It was delicious! She really went all out!

The meal consisted of lots of Tapas including sardines and mussels, a meat and cheese board, some delicious bread and two brilliant centrepieces... Spanish tortilla and octopus!
The Spanish tortilla was similar to what I grew up calling a frittata but the potatoes were shredded and the whole thing was fried, never baked. It was so much better than a frittata! When I took my first bite I was convinced there must have been loads of cheese in it because it was so creamy and delicious but that was just the way the potato egg had combined, it was fantastic. I will chase my friend and make sure to get the recipe on here soon, no one should go without eating this!

The Octopus was amazing as well. I have eaten tiny octopus before, but mainly in pasta and certainly never as undressed as this, just some paprika and olive oil. I really enjoyed it. I can't believe how nice it was just by itself or with some boiled potatoes.

Too top off the amazing meal, Rob and our other friend, Tom played a bit of guitar for us while we all sipped Cava and GnTs! A lovely winter evening!
