The Food of Spain gives you a real taste of this country's intense passion for food, wine and the time-honoured culinary traditions that make Spain unique. Join our journey from the tapas bars of Madrid to the home kitchens of Granada, through to the markets of Barcelona and the cocina nueva restaurants of San Sebastián, and discover the food that defines today's Spanish cooking: garlic mushrooms and chorizo with cider, a saffron- infused seafood paella, and deliciously rich crema catalana.
Each recipe is photographed as it is made, and is accompanied by useful hints and ingredients. Beautiful photographs shot in Spain show how to choose the best produce: from market-fresh Mediterranean vegetables, fresh-from-the-ocean seafood and locally made olive oil, to ingredients inspired by the Moorish occupation such as saffron, cinnamon, citrus, rice and a wide range of fruits and vegetables.
To partner the recipes, there are special features on many of the food ideas that encompass the Spanish way of life. A glossary of food, cooking and equipment helps you identify and source your ingredients and offers helpful tips on substitutions.
