Cooking Basque!
My foodie friend Jo has launched the latest Cookbook Club review series, this time highlighting the Basque region of Spain with this cookbook:
Today, the great Author and Chef Robbie Cheadle takes on the challenge with a dish that was a bit of a challenge indeed!
As she writes:
“The only suitable recipe was for Sukalki – A typical beef ragu. This recipe was similar to Hungarian goulash and is adjusted for the ingredients I could purchase locally.”
This is what happens to me at times, trying to cook from a specific region of the world – when the recipe calls for ingredients that are hard to find locally, and that is the challenge that Robbie had – but don’t worry, she managed a terrific dish anyway!

Yesterday, I shared my take on Basque food:
This “tortilla de bacalao” was like a fish frittata, and here is how I made it!
Jo started this edition of the Cookbook Club and it’s so much fun to take part in – you can see more about it with lots of links by clicking here – bravo Jo!
Speaking of cooking food from Spain, I am a huge fan of Paella:
This is a traditional Paella, so how did I do when I tried to replicate it?
See the result here!

Thanks for sharing my post, John. I’ve still got to make the post rounds. It’s been a very busy work week 🩵🦋
Great thing about these blogs, they stay there forever!

Thanks Pete! Hope you are continuing to feel better!
It would all go wrong if I tried to make any of these dishes.
