These tapas look delicious. I'm still going through your back catalogue" but this video deserves many, many more likes. Great tip on the quails egg. In the Philippines they have a street food dish called Kwek-kwek which is a hard boiled quails egg, covered in an orange batter and deep fried. On my first work trip, many years ago, I saw these bright orange balls and pointed at them (I counted speak the language then) - they replied "kwek-kwek?" which I heard as "quick quick", so I replied "no rush, I'm not in a hurry". The laughter from all lasted longer than the eating.

Looks great! I'll definitely be making the first one "with" you soon. I have to smirk a bit as I'm watching the video, "pinchos," I speak Mexican Spanish somewhat fluently and "pinche" is a....not very nice word in Mx-Es. Awesome video Chef, thank you so much for taking the time to upload and share your wisdom with us.

That is a great too if one thinks things are going to fast to turn of the heat. I need to remember to tell casey that.

James - Another fine vid. I know very little about proper tapas, but sooner or later, I will get deep into them, probably in the summer. I watched your 'croquette' vid the other day, and I'm here trying to find it again, but along the way, I'm gonna watch a few other of your recipe vids. Btw, I did check out your cooking class, and watched the promo vids, again, a nice job. This is more of an 'intro to cooking' class, so not right for me, but I will recommend it to budding cooks along the way. Do you have a book out, or are you working on one? If not, I think you should. I would definitely buy that.

@@ChefJamesMakinson - Uhm, I'd be willing to help as best I can. I'm a retired photographer and I did quite a few food shoots thru the years, so the theory is, I'm pretty competent (as I used to get paid big money to do so). If nothing else, I could serve as a sort of Photo Editor, or someone you could pass along any work you had done for you, to evaluate and make suggestions, if needed. That would be easy for me to do, and something I am very familiar with doing, and I'd be glad to help out. As well, any copy (meaning, writing), to go along with the mission, I'm pretty well experienced at evaluating as well, in terms of editing and proofreading for clarity, etc, to a degree. I wouldn't suggest that I be your only source of such, but I could be 'a' source of such, for you to compare notes. Remember, I am retired. I'm not rich, but I'm not poor. In fact, my wife is in charge of all of our finances, as has been since I first hooked up with, close to 30 years age. I trust her implicitly, and basically, whatever she suggest, I will go along with, as I suck at being bean coumter. In fact, I hate it. She's good at it and actually (believe it or not), actually enjoys the process, which to me seems like surgery without anesthetic. Opposites attract, altho we do have a lot in common, as well. Her name is Terry, and from now on, I will refer to her as such, as I seldom refer to her as 'my wife', otherwise. We both like a bit of adventure, and travel (the non-expensive kind), we both like dogs, and all things about boats, to her, mostly sailboats, but I am very fond of sailing as well. Also, art and ideas and all that crap, which is just an oozed puddle we live in. She's a damn good cook, having never worked as a cook, but a major difference between us (that I've just recently realized), is that she sees a kitchen as place to make a meal, whereas I see a kitchen, as Laboratory, of experiments, that might occasionally end up, to be a meal. I run into that a lot with people who ask me for advice, on anything, but cooking, in particular. I'll say, in response to their question, Well, get this and get that and do this and do that, until you understand what's going on, and how 'you', like it. Oh, I'm not going to do that. Why not, I usaully ask. Well, I'll just end up wasting food, which to me, is a very difficult statement to respond to. My 'go to' response lately, is, Look at as tuition. You go to school, you're gonna have to buy the text books. In this case, a bit of flour or eggs or whatever, and at the end of it, even if you fail, it's gonna probably be pretty edible, if not the best, altho a failure, that you've ever had of such a thing, before. Bonus, at the end of it, you will know how to do it, and to your liking, in particular, which is about the most valuable thing you can learn, and to me, the most effective thing that I can say, about such matters. I'm gonna have to skip out for about an hour, as I am in the middle of the Spanish Omelette you showed on a vid, forgetting the proper name. I have seen a number of vids regarding that, Adam Ragusia's, Vincenzo's (with, I forget the name of the guy he was working with), and as well, a few others. Not to blow smoke up your skirt, but I thought yours was the best of the mess, so that's what I'm following, loosely, but as exact as I think necessary. Anyway, I am close to the conclusion, so I'm going to watch your vid again (already cued up), and then finish the dish. I'm being pretty true to your school of thought, with my bastardizations kept to a minimum, and well within the parameters you felt would be acceptable. I have high hopes. My 'mess is in place', so all I have to do, is finish the dish, and of course, eat it, which will be easy to do, being as hungry as I am. Back in a bit.

In Barcelona, Sagardi makes good Pinchos, and also good fresh croquetas. I am talking about the one up the Eixample, C/ de Muntaner, 70. They have also a cute terrace on the sidewalk. And no tourists. What is your favorite place for Pinchos in BCN?

@@ChefJamesMakinson Yes we had heard about Tickets, but sadly never went. La Barceloneta is a bit too crowded for me. What I like about Sagardi in the upper Eixample is that it is off the tourist hot zone, and you are sitting with locals. It's affordable (at least the bar with the Pinchos, the Restaurant inside is another question) and calm, service is nice. May I ask in which restaurant you are working currently?

I realize that most of these recipes are being made with relatively imperishable pantry items. However, I wonder: Does anyone make the recipe with the dates using fresh dates? Because, as much as I love dried dates, fresh dates are a total eye-opener.
@ChefJamesMakinson2 жыл бұрын
A lot of them are anchovies, Jamon serrano, dates, etc. you can make Pinchos with just about any ingredient in Spanish cuisine. Spain imports them so while it's possible, I have never seen them. Even when the prince of Saudi Arabia visited Hotel arts, we had to provide dates and other amenities. All of them were dried or semi-dried.

Hi, again. In your map, you show the official Basque Country and Navarre separares and then, Rioja. Ok, Rioja is nor a basque region. The Basque Country, Euskal Herria, like basques call it, is a land divided between France and Spain. Four provinces in Spain and three in France. In both sides they speak Euskara, the old basque languaje. Navarre for most of the basque people is one of those four basque provinces located in Spain. And Rioja is no one of them. By the way, try to cook cod fish in white souce or hake kokotxas. Or squid on it's own ink.
