The Food of Spain is an extensive exploration of real Spanish food today. A guide to both traditional & modern recipes, this book gives you an insight into Spanish cuisine & the abundance of fresh produce & local ingredients used to create these delicious dishes. The food & photographic team traveled extensively throughout Spain to capture superb images of each region's produce, cuisine, landmarks, & lifestyle.
The Food of Spain gives you a real taste of the country's intense passion for food, wine, & the time-honored 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, & the cocina nueva of San Sebastian , & discover the food that defines today's Spanish cooking: garlic mushrooms & chorizo with with cider, a saffron-infused seafood paella & a delicious crema catalana.
Each recipe is photographed as it is made & is accompanied by useful hints & ingredients. Beautiful photographs shot in Spain show how to choose the best produce: from market-fresh Mediterranean vegetables, fresh-from-the-ocean seafood & locally made olive oi, to ingredients inspired by the Moorish occupation such as saffron, cinnamon, citrus, rice, & a wide variety of fruits & 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 & equipment helps you identify & source your ingredients & offers helpful tips on substitutions.
