Babka is a sweet braided bread which originated in Poland and Ukraine. The Babka filling is usually made of either chocolate or cinnamon and goes very well with tea or coffee. We decided to make our Babka Buns with a special chocolate, pistachio and hazelnut filling using Alprose Dark Chocolate with hole hazelnuts and already peeled pistachios (don’t worry if they’re a bit salty - it’s going to make the Babka Buns even tastier).

One of my favourite things to eat while in Barcelona is Coca de Escalivada. You could say that Coca de Escalivada is in some ways the Catalan pizza. You make a pizza like dough and add roasted veggies on top (usually onion, aubergine and red bell pepper but you can add anything you want really - anchovies, olives, potatoes…).
