What You Can Do With Aubergines and Peppers
Wednesday, April 09, 2008Escalivada. Mmmm. You absolutely can’t beat it - Mediterranean, healthy, fat-free, delicious, and perfect for preparing in advance. You can serve it as a salad or sidedish, warm or cold. A lot of recipes mention onions and tomatoes, but I just do it with aubergines and red peppers.

Saturday, April 05, 2008Being devoted to research, the BWN Blog sat on a bench in Plaça Catalunya to observe and take notes instead of rushing through or avoiding it altogether. But I still cant muster much enthusiasm for it. Its shapeless, messy, noisy, stressful, undistinguished, forgettable, horribly crowded, pigeon-infested and more a bus terminus now than anything else - oh, and a hotbed of pickpocketry.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008There’s a popular show on TV3 called Caçadors de paraules - word hunters - presented by the inimitable chat show guy Roger de Gràcia (yes - I wondered too - but this is his real name, not a stage name, as his bio at the TV3 website assures us). It looked fun from the trailers but I never got round to seeing it until I got hooked on the drama series Zoo. Programmes on TV3 never start on time, so I got to see Caçadors while waiting for Zoo to start. Basically Roger de G goes wandering around the terres catalanes chatting to people and doing activities with them and eliciting local and dialect words. And yes, it’s great fun, but breathless MTV style editing means you can barely take anything in. At least the words Roger has hunted down are flashed on the screen for a nanosecond or two.

Saturday, February 23, 2008Catalunya is such a bizarre place. So dynamic, innovative, the economic engine of Spain, the only place where Spain really had an industrial revolution. And yet so clinging to its traditions. There were several things in my post about the calçotada that I didn’t explain or translate. That was deliberate: I’m going to be blogging about them as the weeks go by - those things that make Catalunya tick. The barretina, for example.
