Mama Lotties Bollos de Hornazo (Sweet Anise Bread)

Mama's Bollitos de Hornazo is an Easter favourite. This recipe goes back generations and in true tradition it must be made in bulk to feed the family, the neighbours & the shop keepers at la plaza.

Mama Lotties Torta De Acelga (Spinach Pie)

Mama's Spinach / Chard Pie is always so delicious. There can't be an easter time without it. That's not to say that it has to be limited to Easter only. So if you want a truly traditional recipe.

Vegan Torta de Patata (Spanish Omelette)

What?

This torta de patata is soft and smooth and very much like the original considering we've replaced the main ingredient.
