Andalusia or Andalucía?

The autonomous region of Andalusia (Andalucía in Spanish) is in the southern part of Spain. It spans from Atlantic coast in the west to the sheltered coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the east and from Málaga's Costa del Sol to the borders of Castilla – La Mancha the famous flat lands and Don Quixote windmill country.  With an average of 300 plus days of sunshine a year the coastal area is an all year round destination. Not so in the inland provinces of Cordoba, Jaen and Sevilla which ha ve baking hot summers that can reach +40c and cold winters which can be 0c or less overnight. The Mezquita, Córdoba Andalusia is divided into eight provinces, each with a provincial city of the same name.

Eat Less Meat - Eat for Elephants Plant-based Cookbook

Since moving to Andalucia we added pulses to our diet but I have to admit not as often as we should and certainly not lately. Hubby is doing more cooking these days due to my working hours, so I try to plan easy meals for him to prepare. With prices rising and five of us to feed, again, for most main meals - which is midday here, I´m trying to add pulses to our menu more often.

When I came across the Eat for Elephants cookbook, a downloadable pdf full of plant-based recipes, for which all the profits go to support rescue elephants I thought 5 GBPs for some interesting meat-free ideas, that hubby, who an engineer by training, could follow, would spice up our lunches. He´s not happy with my vague guestimate measurements. So, hopefully he can measure away to his heart´s content, follow recipes step by step and provide some more interesting meals than we´ve had lately (yes, I have told him, how boring the stew was, could do with some flavour etc.)



So I´m hoping my idea of less meat, more plant-based meals (not telling the meat-loving sons) will be a great experiment, will save the well-spent 5 GBPs (sorry I can´t find the pound sign on my Spanish keyboard) while helping elephants too.

Some feedback on recipes will follow!
