Hi Kiddo,
I´m glad you enjoyed dinner at Casa Pepe de la Judería at its rooftop terrace, which reminds me that I have to go back next trip.

Isn't Barra Baja great? It was a brand new discovery for us, as our friend took us there to celebrate my husband's birthday and we too sat at the counter.

Si, por supuesto. Jaylu in now on my Sevilla list.

Sometimes I would love some ideas for berengenas con miel with cane honey--- those scrumptious eggplants batons friend and meant to be dipper in a dark, sweet, sauce......for me the are one of the accessible and delightful food of Andalucia and I wonder is some people just miss it due to being unaware of how great they are..!! Cordoba's EL PISTO does very well for the dish, which I first had, not in 'Andalucia but in Brooklyn!!!

Looks not too difficult to prepare at home.....

Fiona Dunlop in her cookbook, Andaluz, has a recipe for berenjenas a la miel de Pedro Jiménez, in which she substitutes honey or molasses with a P.J. reduction.

Maribel thank you. I bought the book.
Are there restaurants in Sevilla that would serve a great version? Or is it more Cordobese or Malaguense??

Maribel

It's very typical Cordoban. I don't usually see them outside of Córdoba, honestly. There may be Andalusian restaurants in Madrid with a Corona chef that serves them, but I can't recall off hand. I only have them in Córdoba Ciudad and in the province.

Grr! spell check. I meant Madrid restaurants with a chef from Córdoba, but honestly I don't go to many Andalusian restaurants in Madrid except for the now closed La Malaje on the Plaza de la Paz, whose chef, Manuel Urbano Torres IS from Córdoba, (now with a new bar, El Campillo in Lavapiés) and the very upscale Surtopía in Salamanca whose chef is from Sanlúcar. I go to the latter for tortillitas de camarones.
