Chocolate Orange spiral cookies
There’s something magical about the scent of chocolate and orange drifting through a kitchen…it always takes me straight back to my grandmothers cosy kitchen, where she’d say “good baking start with good memories”, and this recipe does exactly this in my humble opinion. These pretty spirals are soft, buttery, and full of the rich cocoa […]
Abuelo Julio’s Patata a lo pobre
My grandmother Lely’s Recipe – A Family Favourite( at least for me) There are dishes that bring people together before you’ve even sit at the table — and this is one of them.

Zanahoria Aliñá (Marinated Carrots)
Simple, Delicious, and Soaked in Memories. This was one of my grandmother Lely’s summer favourites. She’d make them especially for my grandad.

Tuna stewed rice
This recipe is the ever popular “go to” when you don’t know what to make, and there are only staple ingredients in the cupboards as you haven’t had time to go food shopping. It’s an easy recipe to follow, and if you bake the rice as opposed to stewing it on the hob, it becomes foolproof. […]
Orange flavoured mini doughnuts – Rosquillas de Naranjas
These delightful little morsels graced our afternoon tea table on numerous occasions. They are the perfect size to be eaten in two bites (sometimes even one), can be packed and carried rather easily as they are quite hardy, and taste great. These doughnuts – as opposed to a lot of other recipes – are baked and therefore produce […]
Meatballs
There are numerous recipes for meatballs, and numerous ways in which to cook them. This particular one is my family’s favourite, the one handed over generation through generation from Grandmother to mother to daughter. This recipe produces a soft juicy meatball cooked in a light onion gravy. I usually make enough sauce to be able […]
Albondigon -Meat loaf
This is another typical Gibraltarian dish, and like every other recipe posted here, each household has it’s own version of how to make it. My grandmothers recipe’s meat loaf is more of a couple of giant meatballs, which are then boiled in soup and either served hot as it is, or reheated the next day on its […]
