Yesterday I had a little spare time so the boys and I “foraged” in our garden to make the last in our series of olive oils! Tomás came up with the idea of trying lavender and some lemon balm from our garden, so back in the kitchen we once again got out our bottles and oil!

Why not infuse your own olive oil!

Coming from an Iberian county, olive oil is the centre of the kitchen – we use olive oil in everything. I absolutely love olive oil. I love it so much that on one occasion whilst back packing in India I had an enormous craving for olive oil drizzled on plain pasta. The pasta was easy to find but there was no olive oil anywhere is Jaipur. After a few days of searching, in desperation I went to a pharmacy and I was delighted to discover that Indian boys use olive oil in their hair! I can only tell you that this oil was super drizzled in pasta.
