Welcome to The Spanish Omelette

Hi and welcome everybody to The Spanish Omelette, a blog where I would like to 'spread' among the non Spanish speakers the Spanish food, recipes, tricks and other things beyond the 'paella and sangría'.

My name is Rosa and I'm from Northern Spain, from an area called Galicia, not sunny and hot as many people think that Spain is, but cold and rainy. Though I'm not a proffesional cook nor a chef, all my life has been surronded by pots, pans and food, much food. At home my mother and my sisters loved (and love) cooking, so I inherited that passion for it. As I told before I don't have any professional education in cooking, actually I am a PR, but it is such a love for cooking that few years ago I tried to change my life and I started with some friends an small catering company in Madrid. And before I had another 'affair' with the 'cooking world' when I went to UK to improve my English and I finished working as a Silver Service waitress in a nice restaurant called Gaudís in Midhurst (England).

Tapas menú

The main reason I decided to write this blog is because in my stages living in England or New Zealand some people asked me about Spanish food. Many of them had heard about 'El Bulli' or knew Spanish food from the TV programs or because they had been in Spain before. They remembered some recipes or dishes that they had had in those trips but they didn't  know how to prepare them. Furthermore, some of them had a limited knowledge about it and only knew paella, gazpacho and sangría. So, it made me to think about it start this blog. It's an idea that I have had in my head for many months but I didn't give the first step to start it until today.


With the blog I'll try to give you some recipes, some clues (as we say 'Grandma's tricks') and of course many Spanish Tapas in order to be able to eat healthier and tastier. I'll start with the 'Tortilla Española' or Spanish Omelette. Maybe you never heard about it, maybe yes. I love it and for that reason I have chosen it for my blog's name.  I'll try to start with easy recipes at the beginning and in a near future continue with a more elaborated dishes.

The Queen of the Tapas

I would love that this blog were an interactive blog, so everybody could learn those recipes and tricks that any person could bring to the blog. Just send me a message and I will be very pleased to publish your recipes in The Spanish Omelette. And, of course, I would be very glad if you could ask me for anything, or give me some ideas to improve any recipe or to create new dishes.

This is my first posts as a blogger and it's not in my mother tongue, so I hope you can patient with the language and with the time between posts. I'm sure it will be very difficult to finish each post. I'll try to publish at least one post-recipe every week. Finger crossed!!!!

Welcome everybody and looking forward to publishing the next post. Remember: an Spanish Omelette, the queen among the Spanish Tapas.

See ya!
