Ler a receita em português Ana describes this omelette as "what Spanish potato omelette ought to be but never is", and it's certainly true that it's always been a big hit, whoever I've served it to.

Ler a receita em português We usually know who's going to write a recipe, but in this case we both feel we've got something of our own to say, so we're going to break with the normal format, both write our own versions and then translate each other's. We apologise in advance for taking a little time to get to the recipe, but we think the stories are worth telling.
