Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chilled tomato dip (Salmorejo)

  • FJT on March 12, 2023

    Nice dip; I used tinned tomatoes instead of fresh. Served with prawns, bread and Serrano ham. Went down well with everyone.

• Special sangria (Mi sangría especial)

  • etcjm on March 01, 2019

    Had high expectations and wasn't overawed by it. Let's be honest though, we still drank it. Might be something I did wrong so I may well try it again in the summer.

    Love this sangria- we make it all the time

• Cod in cider (Bacalao a la sidra)

  • FJT on March 12, 2023

    Really enjoyed this. Made the sauce a few hours in advance, so just had to pour it over the cod and bake it. Easy and tasty.

• Artichokes and asparagus 'Granada' style (Alcachofas y espárragos a la Granadina)

  • Allie80 on May 16, 2020

    Nice use Spanish-style use of UK late spring/early summer ingredients. Tasty and not too complicated to put together. Looks like bread beans are pictured in the photo but no mention in recipe?

• Roasted red peppers (Pimientos asados)

  • Allie80 on May 16, 2020

    Simple but really flavourful!

• Tuna and saffron stew (Marmitako)

  • veronicafrance on October 30, 2014

    This was OK, but I wasn't blown away by it. You may not believe the raw tuna will get cooked just by sitting in the pan with the hot potatoes for 10 minutes, but it does -- in fact it was a bit overcooked. Not sure I'd do it again; we don't eat tuna often, and there are better ways of doing it.

• Catalonian fish stew (Suquet de pescado)

  • PeterC on February 03, 2021

    Just used cod and added chorizo and chickpeas

• Fuss Free Flavours

  The recipes are designed to be both tasty and easily achievable, made with ingredients that can be found in most supermarkets. ...it’s a book with a good range of easily accessible tapas to try.
