4. Tortilla Española (Spanish Omelete) - by Monica Sala
Preparation of tortilla is an art and
each family has its own recipe.
In our home, we make it like this:
Ingredients:
½ cup olive oil (extra virgin)
600 gr hard waxy potatoes
1 onion
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 large eggs
Method:
Peel potatoes and cut them into thin slices (5 mm thick). Peel and finely dice the onion. In a large,
deep pan fry the whole thing in olive oil (both must be swimming in oil). until onions are golden.
Season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add puree. Remove the potato-onion mixture with a spatula
from the pan and drain briefly on the pan. Give the mixture to the beaten eggs.
Leave the pan over a low heat and add the mixture. The potato-onion-egg mixture is evenly
Spain distributed in the pan over a low heat for about 5 minutes. Cover with a large plate and turn over
the tortilla. Brave people can turn over the tortilla directly from the pan by throwing it up in the
air. Again cook 5 minutes, then remove from gas.
The tortilla can be cut into pieces. It can be either hot or cold served.
Serve with a good Crianza from the Priorat region

Ingredients
6 oz Plain flour
4 oz Soft butter
England 2 oz caster (granulated) sugar
1 oz corn flour (corn-starch)
Method
Mix the butter and sugar together (preferably with a wooden spoon) until it is pale and
creamy. Sieve both the flour and the corn flour into the bowl and mix well. Put a small amount
of flour on your working surface and place the dough on this. Shake a little flour on top and
roll out to about quarter inch thick. Prick with a fork and cut into rounds with a cutter or, if
you want one large shortbread round, pinch the edges with thumb and finger all round.
Use a palette knife to lift the shortbread onto an oiled baking tray and bake for 25 minutes in
a pre-heated oven at 325F/170C/Gas Mark 3. If the biscuits are ready, they will be pale brown
and crisp; if not, return to the oven for 5 or 10 minutes. Shake a small amount of
caster/granulated sugar on the top of the shortbread immediately after they have been
removed from the oven. Use a palette knife to move them to a cooling rack and store in an
airtight tin once they are cold.
9. Tiramisu - by Maria del Campo Ingredients:
A tub of mascarpone
4 tablespoons of sugar
4 eggs
Method: 3 espresso cups of espresso
Make the espresso and pour it into a wide flat 1 pack of sponge fingers
dish, letting it cool down a little (you will need Amaretto and possibly brandy as well
to dip the sponge fingers in this later on, so have dark/bitter cocoa powder
that in mind when choosing the dish)
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat
the egg whites. You need them extra stiff as they will provide the slightly airy texture to the
crème later on. While there is no need to rush, it is advisable to work as quickly as possible
after this – avoiding any lengthy breaks to make sure the beaten egg-whites will not become
liquid again. Placing them in the fridge after beating them might help.
Beat the egg-yolks. The yolks will become creamy and whiteish. Then add the sugar and a dash
of Amaretto and continue beating.
After a while, add the mascarpone and beat until everything is nice and well mixed.
Add more Amaretto to taste – but keep in mind that some additional Amaretto will be added
later on, so don’t overdo it. I quite like to also add a dash of brandy at this stage which gives a
little sharpness to the taste.
Gently drag the stiff egg whites under the creamy substance.
Get a small (about 18cm×27cm / 7in×11in) rectangular pie dish out.
Italy
Dip a sponge finger’s bottom side quickly into the espresso (which could also contain some
extra brandy if you are so inclined) and place it into the dish.
Fill the whole bottom of the dish with sponge fingers lying side by side. Then use the bottle of
Amaretto and sprinkle some on top of the sponge fingers.
Now add about half the creamy mass on top of the sponge finge…and repeat the dipping-
into-espresso, laying-out-the-sponge-fingers and sprinkling-the Amaretto to create a second
layer atop the first one. Repeat the process.
Put the tiramisu into the fridge for a couple of hours.
Sprinkle a thin layer of the dark cocoa powder on top of the finished dish.

10. Gratin Dauphinois - by Maria del Campo
Ingredients:
1 lb (450 gr) good-quality potatoes (King Edward or Desirée)
1 small clove garlic, crushed
5 fl oz (150 ml) double cream
5 fl oz (150 ml) milk
freshly grated nutmeg
1 oz (25 gr) butter
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
Method:
Peel the potatoes and slice them very, very thinly (a wooden mandolin is excellent for this
operation, if you have one).
Plunge the potato slices into a bowl of cold water and swill them round and round to get
rid of some of the starch. Now dry them very thoroughly in a clean tea cloth. Then in the
gratin dish arrange a layer of potato slices, a sprinkling of crushed garlic, pepper and salt
