Lamb Filo Triangles

Spanish Tortilla
Gosh I love a piece of tortilla. It’s the perfect simple dish with so few ingredients but packed full of flavour. It’s amazing as part of a Spanish Feast, served warm or cold with a selection of other delicious delights. Or just as wonderful on its own with a fresh green salad to accompany. And […]

I love these Spanakopita Swirls. To me, they are the perfect savoury finger food treat. The flaky pastry gives amazing crunch and the flavours inside – just delicious!
