Any suggestions for a typically Spanish but easy to make postre? I've got friends coming for a week and want to cook a Spanish dinner on Saturday instead of our usual semi-British fare. I'm makinmg gazpacho and garlic chicken -yes, I know, very original and exciting- but don't want to fall back on my usual exotic fruit salad.

The whole world's gone mad!

I quoted Jo....and just added the word "what"....and she bloody nuked it!

Hi M,

This is a very easy cake to make. Good at all times of the day as well, but quite light, although very "almondy" flavour - Tarta de Santiago (tarta de almendra) is very famous here in Galicia....and absolutely delicious served with a quality vanilla icecream. I've added a link to save me typing out from my recipe books!!

Tarta de Santiago (St. James' Cake)

Enjoy!

Oh, thanks, T. x That's just the sort of thing I was hoping for. Not much to go wrong there, even for low-tech cooks like me
I'm going to do a trial run today..

Does anyone else have special meals that they create and have their trademark "signature" ?

Pizza 4 cheeses - the food of the gods and together with cup-a-soup is my staple diet.

How on earth do you afford to eat in such places ?

I can't - I eat at home.

My staple diet if I am out is a scrounged coffee from Jojo with extra sugar.

with extra sugar

Obesity could be lurking around the corner...prime example is Mrs H.....

No, I am OK. I only have the extra sugar if Jojo pays. No sugar in the house!
