Empanadas de Pollo
I have wanted to learn how to make empanadas since I retired to Ecuador. It's surprisingly easy and two empanadas, with salad, make for a very filling meal.
Sleeping Lion
Part Three of my series, A Seasoned Traveller’s Galápagos. On Isla San Cristóbal, we visit Cerro Brujo's magnificent coral beach and snorkle at Kicker Rock.

Cazuela Chili con Carne
Chili is the first dish I learned to cook when I left home at 17. I've been perfecting my recipe for nearly 40 years. Cazuela adds the ultimate flavour.
