Welcome back to Meet The Chefs!  Today I’m back in Barcelona and chatting with Bjorn at Bar Noé. The restaurant, set up by him and his girlfriend, has only been going for a few months but has attracted high praise from across the culinary scene in the city. The menu is varied and innovative and here we chat all about his journey, his ethos, Noe, bad brunches, and more! Enjoy!

Today I'm back in Barcelona and visiting Granja Viader. Founded in 1870, eating here is like stepping into a time machine. There's a butcher counter where you can buy meats, cheese, and cakes to take away. The stars of the show though are definitely the eat-in options and the famous crema catalana (which it invented). Churros and various chocolates are stunning too as well as pastries, cakes, and all of the savoury options that you could possibly imagine.

Welcome back to Oli Eats as you've never heard it before - Oli Bites! These are mini podcasts where I'll take you on the road to some of my visits that I do where I get to know businesses and owners before writing about them in my newsletter or as feature articles.

This first episode comes from Madrid and Panadarío. I chatted through founder Dario's favourite items and heard a little bit about the story behind his bakery.

Welcome back to Meet The Chefs!  Today I’m in Barcelona, where I’ll be based for the next few months.  My first podcast from here is a really interesting one with Omama’s Pasteleria.  Emilia, originally from Argentina and with a background in marketing, has set up her own cake-making business from her home kitchen.  It’s a complete switch up from the conventional restaurant industry but it's fascinating to hear about the unique challenges she has faced and a delight to hear the joy she has taken from it.  Apologies in advance for the background noise and the wind - my microphone is still on the way and we were talking outside on a busy Saturday morning!  Enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode of Meet The Chefs! This is my first episode from the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, and it's one for coffee lovers! Menno set up both Trabocca and Bocca, coffee importers and a cafe that have been at the forefront of fairtrade and value-driven coffee since their founding in 2004. It's fascinating to hear about just how much goes into each and every espresso and just how Menno is still learning things about the world of coffee.Be sure to check out the full article on the business and other Amsterdam spots when they go live on my website www.olieatsitall.wordpress.com and be sure to subscribe and check out the Instagram https://www.instagram.com/olieatsitall/ for more!
