If there is one thing we pride ourselves on here in Lanzarote, it’s the glorious winter sunshine. However, those of you who have been on the island since last December will know we’ve had a slightly different story to tell this year. The weather has been doing its own thing, with infrequent showers and a chill in the air.
While we’d never complain about a bit of rain, it does change the mood. When the temperatures drop, we instinctively crave something different. Suddenly, a light salad doesn’t quite hit the spot like a rich, slow-cooked stew does.
For Nerina at Event and Catering Solutions Lanzarote, this shift in the elements isn’t a problem. It’s an opportunity to showcase her flexibility in the kitchen.
Cooking to the Rhythm of the Island
“We don’t want to ever promote the idea that we have ‘bad’ weather here, because we don’t,” says Nerina. “But the reality is, over the last few weeks, the cooler weather has meant we’ve had to adapt the way we cook. It’s actually been a wonderful way to show how we can play around with food to suit the moment.”
This adaptability is at the very core of what Nerina offers. Her menus are entirely tailor-made, meaning nothing is ever rigid. If the sun is hiding behind a cloud, she doesn’t have to serve the same food as she would on a blazing hot July afternoon. Instead, she can pivot, bringing out dishes that wrap you in warmth and comfort.
Warming Dishes for Chilly Evenings
Recently, Nerina has been leaning into bold, slow-cooked flavours that fill the villa with an irresistible aroma. Some of her recent dishes include:
- Slow-cooked beef in red wine with caramelised onions
- Albóndigas (Spanish meatballs) in a rich tomato sauce
- Garlic prawns with warm, rustic bread for dipping
- Chicken & chorizo skewers, smoky and comforting
- Local Vegetables Roasted with Canarian Honey & Salt from Salinas de Janubio
“These dishes are perfect for warming you up when there’s a chill in the air,” Nerina explains. “It’s still Mediterranean/Canarian inspired cooking, but with a twist that suits the weather outside. It’s all about being flexible and using my experience to give people what they actually want at that specific moment.”
Your Event, Your Way
Whether you are planning an intimate dinner or a celebration for up to 50 guests (with prior notice), Nerina’s service is designed to take the stress off your shoulders. She handles everything: sourcing fresh local ingredients from the island’s meat, fish, and vegetable suppliers, preparing and cooking the food, and even the clear-up afterwards.
Because the menus are tailor-made, they are as flexible as the Lanzarote forecast. If the clouds roll in, she brings the comfort food. If the sun returns, she’ll fire up the BBQ and pour the Cava.
Save Your Date for 2026
As Nerina mentions, “Save the date!” is the message of the moment. With 2026 already filling up fast, saving your preferred date now guarantees you peace of mind. You can refine the menu and the theme later, but booking early ensures your chef is confirmed and ready to create a fun food adventure for you and your guests.
