Baked sardines with white wine & braised octopus with olives, tomatoes and hot chorizo

Many of us have fell out of routine for the cookbook challenge. It is such a good challenge as it encourages many of us to make use and dust off cook books that we have tucked away and forgotten about. There isn't that many more weeks but to be very honest, I am struggling to catch up. I don't think I will catch up this time so hopefully the challenge will be up again next year?

First, I need to thank Agnes of Off the Spork & April of My Food Trail for organising this catch up. It was the first time that I met up with Cherrie of Sweet Cherrie Pie, Ange of Vicious Ange & Leigh of Chit Chat Chomp. Last but not least, Anna & David bought their "stomachs along for eating"
