While there, Jamie met the wonderful Martín Habiague, founder and director of charity restaurant Mescladis, who gave him some top tips. “Barcelona is well known for its regional cuisine,” Martin said. “Try the calçots (a sort of long onion) with salsa romesco, then a fricando and to finish a crema Catalana. And don't forget to ask for pa amb tomàquet (an old way of reviving old bread using the juices of a tomato and garlic). I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!”

Gasping for a proper cuppa in India

I'm almost halfway across India now, and surprisingly I'm barely touching caffeine at all. Being a regular coffee junkie and a ferocious consumer of pint-sized cups of tea at any chance I get, this realisation has come as a shock to me.
