Earlier this week we shared with you a variety of fish available in Spain. One of our recommendations was to try anchovies... Here is one way to prepare them as recommended by one of our Spanish chefs, Chef Ana. How delicious does this look?! Reposted from @freshcookingspain Fried anchovies with tomato avocado salad. Easy to cook and healthy. What else do you need? #dinnerideas #traveltospainwithus

This is Peruvian corn from Cusco called Choclo. You’ll notice that the corn is white and the kernels are large - very different than the corn we are used to seeing in North America. They kernels are so large, you can actually pick them off individually to eat! The flavour is not as sweet as the typical yellow corn many of us are used to. The kernels are starchier and chewier and the flavour is delicately nutty. Choclo is typically served with ceviche, one of Peru’s most fam...ous dishes! But if you ever have a chance to visit Peru, you’ll also see many street vendors selling ears of choclo corn with a slice of cheese - Choclo con Queso. Alternatively, the corn kernels are served loose. They take the dry kernels and rehydrate and boil them until the outer layer comes off (called mote) or deep fried until crispy. This popular snack is commonly found both in homes and restaurants. One thing to keep in mind, this corn is just ONE of 55 types available in Peru! They come in a variety of colours and flavours and each plays a different role in the way of life in Peru.

When global kitchens collide... Reposted from @cookingclassesbodrum We had a thechefandthedish team class few days before and learned from @freshcookingspain Ana how to make Spanish tortilla. This is my Turkish version with a little red in it. Added some tomato sauce and red pepper paste. It was a life saver, with all the hungry men in the house in quarantine.
