I try not to deviate from the Basque Bites theme on my IG but so many amigos wanted to see more of my trip and I love a good gane of show and tell.

Ahoy mates!

A model of a classic Basque fishing boat. By fish, in this case, I mean ANCHOVIES!

You have never eaten anchovies like the ones we have here from the Cantabrian Sea! One of my favourite brands is where I shot this pic of this model ship.

Nice folks back in summerdaze. Can’t wait to wear short sleeve shirts again!

Love this overhead shot of the bar showing off a bit of everything, the cold pintxos, my bread, my glass of godello & of course my pintxos of wild pigeon and foie!

The pigeon got the low and slow treatment, stewed with love in a rich, thick gravy. Straight from the hunter, shot near !

The foie got the sweet treatment, paired with apricot jam!

Late fall and winter definitely has some great products features on our dining room tables!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CROQUETTE DAY!⁠
⁠
Raise a glass and get your crunch on! ⁠
January 16th is when we pay homage to these delightful bites.⁠
⁠
Here in Spain the favourite way to enjoy croquetas is with your amigos and a cold glass of something on the side. They're found in many bars and many folks list them as their favourite snack.⁠
⁠
Whether these balls of bechamel are accented with cheese, jamón, porcini mushrooms, bacalao, squid, stewed meats or whatever CROQUETAS are always a crowd pleaser.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Idiazabal is our local, raw, sheeps milk cheese. ⁠
⁠
This shot was taken at a Cider House were its customary to finish the meal with Idiazabal, walnuts and maybe some membrillo or quince paste (center).⁠
⁠
You don't have to share, but it would be nice if you did.⁠
⁠
WANNA VISIT A CIDER HOUSE? We'll take you there! ⁠
Txotx season opens soon!

One of my most memorable families last year, art dealers from NYC with their awesome kids! Plus a food enthusiast from San Francisco who put me the test with his knowledge and passion for the Basque scene. LOVE IT!⁠

Ended the year on a high note with a Norwegian wine club who booked Basque Bites for three fun days of eating and drinking.

With the wonderful Agus at the amazingAMA TOLOSA for a gentlemen’s’ lunch.

Ama is, without question, my tip pick in Gipuzkoa! No one does farm to table cuisine like these guys and no one respects the market and the farmer like them.

Cold soup of POCHAS (white beans) and a fermentation garden of mixed pickles on the side. Tableside service was a nice touch as was the rustic enameled iron bowl.

Walking to the port on the aptly named Portu Kalea. Beautiful summer day! #sansebastian #port #donostia #summerdays

The Market Lunch Tour is Def my favorite to lead. Love to geek out at the markets and hit up the tabernas for a pintxo lunch!

Great fireworks tonight @semanagrandesansebastian !! #astenagusia #sansebastian

Semana Grande or Aste Nagusia last night with a fireworks display sponsored by FRANCE. #oohlala

Sunset on Ondarreta baby!

Rented a parasol on Zurriola. I felt pijo (snob) but damn, I enjoyed it! 😎🌞😎🌞

Great times on a lunch tour with this international group of wild women!

A little down time for my clients on Playa Itzurun in Zumaia to check out the flysch on the coastal cliffs.

An Igueldo, ensaladilla, salt cured anchovies & peppers and an Arzak. Great Tuesday night treat at @antoniobarss

ESPELETTE!!! Had a blast last weekend on the French side of the Basque Country and enjoyed a tour and tasting at the #atelierdupimentespelette

Great night out with some great guests. And a honeymoon for the gents! 🩵

Coulant AKA Lava Cakes are a guilty pleasure. They are almost always chocolate which is why I tip my txapela to the team at Zazpi for making a HAZELNUT variety. Amazeballs! #coulant #lavacake #sansebastian #awesomeeats

Viva Canada! Had a great time hanging out with these dudes from el norte de Norte America!

The stable geniuses at Basqueland have made one of my favourite things into a beer! Liquid French Toast! With alcohol! Part a healthy breakfast!!! Gora Basqueland! Gora Torrijak! #basquelandbrewingproject #basqueland_izakaia #FrenchToast #imperialpastrystout

Cold chillin’ at the wonderful #hiruztabodega back in early spring. Check out these baby Hondarrabi Zuri leaves! I think it is gonna be a good year!!

Love a reunion over food and wine!!! So much fun to see the lovely @heather_cauldwell_ramp after a score of years.

On a recent camping trip to northern Cataluña I took time out for one life’s greatest pleasures. Will post a recipe in the blog one day, it is SO easy and so so good!
