Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Seared saffron monkfish with black-eyed beans

    • katiesue28 on May 26, 2023

      I don't know if I'm just not a fan of monkfish, but I found this whole dish to be quite bland. I would recommend upping the salt content, and would use a different, more flavorful fish. The black-eyed beans were a bit bland but could be improved with more seasoning and some tomato paste.

  • Lentils with chorizo and potatoes

    • Lepa on October 26, 2022

      This is a great stew. I added a bit too much salt but everyone in my family enjoyed this.

Publishers Text

A collection of best-loved recipes from the heart of chef Jose Pizzaro's Spanish family home.

José Pizarro grew up in central-western Spain, in the tiny village of Talaván. His family had been farmers for generations, and he spent his childhood on his parent's farm, helping his father produce vegetables, dairy products and different meats. Life in this small village centered on dinner, with great recipes passed from generation to generation through his grandmother, to his mother, and now him.

In Spanish Home Cooking, José Pizzaro travels back to his mother's house to draw inspiration from the flavors he grew up with, and shares over 80 of his favorite recipes, which he has gathered from all over Spain. From nostalgic childhood favorites that his mother fed the family, to more modern recipes with his Spanish twist, there's a recipe here for everyone.
