Win a VonShef Crepe & Tapas Maker Set

A few weeks ago I enjoyed a lovely evening with gorgeous food at a tiny tapas restaurant in Manchester.

Inspired by my experience at Evuna I decided to put on a Spanish evening for friends at home. With the help of lots of tealights, some cute crockery, a jug of sangria and the Spanish Tapas Platter recipe in the 2017 Dairy Diary, a very convivial evening was had by all.

And here’s the recipe. It’s really stress-free, so perfect for a casual evening at home (you may want to accompany with some good red or sangria, if you like!) AND you could wow your friends and family with this fabulous Vonshef Crepe & Tapas Maker Set if you enter our competition.  Good luck!
