We’re heading home today after two weeks of adventures - by the seaside in Dorset, trekking round London and finally in the rural idyll that is the Dehesa in South West Spain. Travelling with twin babies has been different - exhausting & challenging are words that spring to mind - but it’s also made me very happy that I can still have adventures and that, starting early, I can share my love of travelling with my babies. Walking down new streets and through new landscapes, tasting new dishes and flavours, experiencing customs different from our own and understanding that those differences are OK, in fact they are wonderful... I hope I can foster this openness, acceptance and curiosity in my children. Though actually what I really hope, as I sit sleep deprived in Seville airport, is that tonight they’ll sleep for more than two hours in a row! Love this photo @edibleflowerbrews took of us at London Bridge. #tfl #londonunderground #travellingwithtwins #twinbabies #sleepdeprivation #edibleflowertravels #theedibleflower

Jamon Ibérico @cincojotas - We went on an amazing tour, kindly organised by the lovely people @fincabuenvino - to find out all about how Ibérico ham is produced - we learned so much, but what totally amazed me was that each Pata Negra pig (the breed used to make Ibérico ham) has 2 whole hectares each of the dehesa (the wooded meadowland where the pigs graze & forage). The minimum for acorn fed status is 1 hectare per pig but @cincojotas guarantee 2 hectares per pig. Definitely free range then! The jamon was utterly amazing! #jamoniberico #ibericoham #hams #patanegra #dehesa #spanishfood #edibleflowertravels #theedibleflower

Iberico Pork Secreto cooked on the BBQ and finished off with a garlic butter sauce, crispy sage & a squeeze of lemon. Plus some early Spanish asparagus also on the BBQ. Dinner at our little self catering cottage @fincabuenvino Secreto is supposedly a ‘secret’ butchers cut and either comes from the shoulder or the belly - either way the flesh is marbled with fat as is typical of the Pata Negra breed. #bbq #cookingwithfire #secreto #iberianpork #ibericopork #crispysage #spanishfood #edibleflowercooks #theedibleflower #fincabuenvino

Delicious dinner @fincabuenvino last night - tapas and drinks in front of the fire, and then three delicious courses at their beautiful candlelit dining table hosted by the lovely Chesterton family - loved everything but especially inspired by the chilled beet soup/purée starter topped with yoghurt, parsley & dukkah. More, including the incredible setting on my Stories. Highly recommended if you are visiting Andalucia, but really @fincabuenvino is all the reason you need to come here. #coldsoup #orisitapuree #beetroot #beetrootsoup #pink #inthepink #spanishfood #andalucia #dukkah #fincabuenvino #edibleflowertravels #theedibleflower

Making the most of the fact there doesn’t seem to be a hungry gap in Spain... BBQ prawns tossed in rosemary & garlic butter, roasted red pepper with calamari & oregano, rosemary flatbreads and a melon, cucumber & mint salad with Iberico ham.

Delicious mushrooms at Casa Sirlache in Aracena today. Mushrooms are their speciality, these were really lightly cooked (almost raw in the centre) with garlic & parsley. Thanks for the recommendation @fincabuenvino #mushrooms #fungi #simplefood #spanishfood #andalucia #andalusianfood #edibleflowertravels #theedibleflower
