La Taberna K Pasa, hidden away on the inner street running alongside the promenade in the Montemar district of Torremolinos, is a great place to grab a beer and partake of some tapas. It is very relaxed place, on the edge of casual, which is fine if you just want to take your time and…

Pies at the Norfolk Pie Man in Sheringham

Air Fryer Scotch Eggs
I do love a Scotch egg, a good one anyway, when done well it is a perfect hand held snack. I have tried to cook them in the past with mixed success often limited. But recently I have had a breakthrough while cooking them in an air-fryer. Essentially your scotch egg is a softly boiled…
