Avocado and Bacon Tapas

What fun it was introducing people to the classic Spanish style of eating. For me, and us in New Zealand I believe, it is about the style of cookery and eating, more than the ingredients. Take our wonderful array of seasonal ingredients, add some simple techiques and serve them in a ‘shared style of eating’. Dont over think it or overwork it, pick one or two main ingedients, work them with simple techiques and you will have plates of sharing food to proudly grace any occasion.

A bowl or plate or marinated fresh fish with avocado a great example
