Authentic Tapas and Spanish food in Cambridge

Dar la vuelta a la tortilla | Turn the tables⠀ .

Dar la vuelta a la tortilla | Turn the tables⠀
.⠀
🍳 The turning movement is so popular and essential to the Spanish culture that it is used to express more than a cooking technique. It means to change a situation to the opposite. ⠀
.⠀
🔔 In English, “Dar la vuelta a la tortilla” can be translated, depends on the context, as:⠀
.⠀
✔️ Turn the tables⠀
.⠀
✔️ The boot/shoe is on the other foot.⠀
.⠀

Set or gooey? With or without onion? Do we accept chorizo on it? Can I cook it in the oven? Where can I find THE BEST tortilla de patatas? ⠀

My mum and I made "rosquillos de la abuela" today

My mum and I made "rosquillos de la abuela" today.

Each Saturday, we cook online a "granny's recipe", sweet desserts that are mainly a fried dough; or what it was called since the Middle Age in Spain "frutas de sartén".

Today we cooked "rosquillos", donut shape and fried too but different dough.
It was my first time. I was quite pleased with the result although not all were so pretty. But well, this is Instagram, right? 😃

I will post the recipe on my blog soon.

Tomorrow... I have an exciting plan. I´m cooking

Tomorrow... I have an exciting plan. I´m cooking online with my mum! ⠀
We have been doing these online cooking sessions during this last lockdown and it´s being AMAZING! 💚⠀
⠀
👵 The idea was to cook those recipes I always wanted to learn that are now a bit (or a lot) all fashioned; the ones that grandmas made but that are almost forgotten as we don´t make them at home anymore. 🤦⠀
⠀
Keep an eye as I will post soon the recipes we are cooking and include them in my Online Cooking Classes. Weird as it sounds for a no very sweet tooth person, so far all the recipes are sweet and very, very traditional. What recipes do you think we are making? ⠀

And it has completely different meanings in South America than in Spain. 👉 Check my bio for a full article with meanings and grammar aspects.⠀

❓ What tapas, pintxos, and raciones are? 🤷⠀

❓ What tapas, pintxos, and raciones are? 🤷⠀
When I ask what "tapas" mean at my private events, almost everybody says that "tapas" are small portions of food that we share. Well, that´s not wrong in general terms but it´s not exactly right if we talk about specific types of dishes. ⠀
❗️❗️ Spoil alert: we normally don´t share a tapa!⠀
⠀
This Food Glossary may help you out when you order food in Spain. ⠀
(Don´t forget, this is general guidance and it´s subject to change. In Spain we love improvising... 😉).⠀

❗️ Bites in Spanish⠀ .⠀ 👉 "Rojo como un

❗️ Bites in Spanish⠀
.⠀
👉 "Rojo como un tomate" ↔️ "Beet-red" ⠀
.⠀
Who did not feel sometimes “rojo como un tomate”? We all can remember a situation where we felt uncomfortable and our face was bright red to show our awkwardness. This sentence is used to express exactly that: someone is blushing with shyness or embarrassment. We use it in informal situations, like the expression “to turn beet-red” in English. If we translate it literally, it would be like “red as a tomato”.⠀
.⠀
👉 If you want to use a more formal word, like “to blush” in English, you can use “sonrojarse” or “ruborizarse”. But don´t be afraid to use a very common and casual expression in Spanish as this one instead of the formal one. Your Spanish will improve and will sound more fluent as a native speaker. Don´t turn “rojo como un tomate” if someone praises your Spanish. 🙂⠀
.⠀
❓ Why do we use this expression?⠀
This expression comes from the physiological reaction when we are embarrassed or ashamed by something we have said or done. Then, our heartbeat races, and the veins in our face dilate. It´s natural but we can´t hide our red cheeks. And what is round and red like our blushing cheeks? A tomato! Hence, the expression.⠀
.⠀
📝 Grammar aspects⠀
✔️ It´s a comparative sentence so we use the conjunction “como” from the structure “tan + adjective or adverb + como” used to express two things are equal in some way.⠀
“Juan está (tan) rojo como un tomate.” → “Juan is red as a tomato.”⠀
⠀
✔️ We can use also the verb “poner”/ “to turn” in this case⠀
“Juan se puso rojo como un tomate.” → “Juan turned red like a tomato.”⠀
⠀
✔️ If you use the verb “Poner”, don´t forget that it´s a reflexive verb in this case: “Ponerse”: Poner + Se⠀

❓ Is gazpacho a soup or a smoothie? What do you

❓ Is gazpacho a soup or a smoothie? What do you think? 🙃⠀
.⠀
❗️ I know from my experience as a private chef that the idea of a cold tomato soup put some people off. It´s a bit frustrating as gazpacho is a super nutritious, refreshing, and healthy dish. So I realized that the problem is not the dish itself but how we are describing it. Poor guy... using the wrong words we are playing it down!⠀
.⠀
💯 I think gazpacho is not a soup as the ingredients are not cooked: they are raw and blended. As we have green smoothies, gazpacho is a red smoothie. ⠀
.⠀
✔️ Anyway, gazpacho is perfect for warm days and provides nutrients and vitamins. If you want to try a red smoothie, you can find my recipe on my bio - taplink - blog. Or google "gazpacho recipe que rico tapas".⠀
.⠀
¡Buen provecho!⠀

Food always creates good memories! 🤗 Like durin

Food always creates good memories! 🤗 Like during this Online Tapas Cooking Class I had a few weeks ago for a birthday celebration. They were in different cities but they did something together, fun and tasty! What a great present! 🎁⠀
.⠀
That´s what they said:⠀
👉 "Thank you so much for such a lovely online zoom class!! The food is unbelievable and I can't believe you've taught us how to produce something so tasty! I really can't thank you enough and will definitely be using you again!" ⠀
.⠀
👉 "We have not stopped talking about Friday's class all weekend! Thank you for the recipes and wonderful photo, a lovely touch. It was so great to meet you and learn so much from you."⠀
.⠀
✔️ Every class is personalized and if you are booking a class for a special occasion, I send a customized card and a memory photo of the session. 💖 ⠀
