It was one of Beverley's (with the hat) 50th Birthday celebrations with a group of her very best friends. We cooked our famous Spanish Buffet for them and they loved it. What a great bunch of girls.....they never stopped laughing and joking. We had a ball. Thank you for making our day ladies.

Anisha and Hema organised this hen party for bride to be Priya (right of cheeky butler). Marcus, our cheeky butler dropped in to entertain the girls and make cocktails. Afterwards they enjoyed our famous Barbecue in the lunchtime sunshine. We were also happy to provide vegetarian and vegan options as requested. Very happy Hens.

We have had the pleasure to cook for this FAB group for several years running. This time it was Mel's Hen Party (top of the stairs in white) in Villa El Cid in Los Flamingo's. Perfectly organised by the brilliant Vicky as always. Dinner party for 18 ladies who were very happy with their food. Hope to see you next year girls. xxxx

Nicole (pink, purple and blue dress) asked us to cook our famous Barbecue for friend Sara's (above) Hen Party weekend at an apartment in Señorio De Aloha near Puerto Banus. When we arrived the girls were just back from a boat trip and they were looking forward to their dinner. They started with tapas followed by our Barbecue....then desserts. The whole thing was a great success and the girls were delighted with their food. A great group of lovely Scottish ladies.

Ali (centre photo checked top) and her 9 friends got together at Villa Karenza in Los Naranjos Hill Club to celebrate her 40th birthday with a Paella Party cooked and served by us.
The girls, all members of Brentwood Hockey Club, tucked into a selection of tapas, followed by a Mixed Seafood and Meat Paella. Then Tiramisu and Lemon Mousse.
A great crowd of girls full of laughter, who were obviously the best of friends.

There were 3 Pamela's involved in this Hen Party Barbecue. The bride, the organiser and the caterer!!! In a lovely villa up in the hills behind Fuengirola. It was really nice to hear that Kelly, a friend of the organiser, had recommended us from a party we catered for her last year. The happy group, mainly Scottish from close to Glasgow, enjoyed their tapas followed by our Barbecue Deluxe, then desserts. It all went down very well. A great crowd of girls.

We use this recipe a lot when we are home late after a catering or personal chef job. You can prepare the whole thing beforehand and put the foil on. Then cook it when you ready to eat. Also makes a great supper party dish.
Spicy Rosada Casserole - A very quick, easy and delicious way to serve this versatile fish.
Serves 2.
Cut 500g rosada into 3 - 4 cm chunks (if using defrosted dry really well with kitchen paper). Arrange in an earthenware. Finely chop up a red chilli with 2 big cloves of garlic and add to the fish. Add the zest and juice of a lime, plenty of chopped coriander, 2 tablesp tomato frito, a little chopped chorizo, a few florets of raw broccoli, a chopped tomato and salt to taste. Finish with a good glug of olive oil, Mix all the ingredients together well. Top the earthenware with tight fitting foil. Bake in a pre heated very hot oven, maximum heat. Remove after 15 mins. Allow to rest for 5 mins.....remove foil and serve with your choice of potato. Enjoy!

During the Winter we are much quieter in our catering and personal chef business so we have decided to photograph and post our favourite tested recipes for our clients friends to try. Enjoy.....and please put a comment here if you have tried them out. The first one will follow this post. Pam and David xx
