Please get your gourmet heads on. I am well up for any advice.

I dont think I have ever heard the words Spanish and gourmet used together before

There are twice as many 3 star Michelin restaurants in Spain than there are in the UK.

not least because it uses up copious amounts of breadcrumbs & the bread goes stale/dry so very quickly I've always got plenty of them in the freezer!
I assume you are referring to Porra Antequera. It's also known as Salmorejo and that's how it appears on menus round here. Brilliant stuff!

The other Andalucian speciality is Ajo Blanco - cold soup made with bread almonds, olive oil and garlic.

Spanish food in general is simple, uninteresting and often tasteless (IMHO)

Woah! Generalisation or what!
How many provinces are there? Are they all the same? Ditto UK, France, Italy, Argentina, wherever you care to name.
There's simple Welsh food, tasteless Tuscan food, uninteresting Catalan food, & so on. Care to be a bit more precise?

If you find any foolproof Spanish recipies that my wife me me can do, please pass them on.
She was taught by a wonderful Spanish cook, her mum. But all her meals fail miserably.
I have tried encouraging her, beating her, bribing her, threatening her even starving her, but she does not improve.
I am at my witts end and I am sure you will all have sympathy for me, so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

JLFS
