Back at El Cortijo, Palacio de Cantalobos this morning, to cook brunch.

The children had waffles with lots of different toppings. The adults had my eggs benedict bake with homemade hollandaise, roasted cherry tomatoes, and a selection of Spanish sausages. There was lots of fresh fruit and berries, plus freshly baked mini pastries for everyone.
