Spanish Cooking

Spain may conjure up images of the sun, sea and sangria - but it is in fact a land of immense cultural and geographical diversity. This gives the cooking from each region it's own unique character and flavour.

There are nourishing winter dishes from the mountains (bean and sausage hotpot), delicious fish recipes from the northern coast, and simple treats like garlic and bread soup from Extremadura.

The culinary tour is accompanied by an introduction to the fascinating history of Spanish cookery and it's many contrasting influences - Jewish Arabic and European.

The book is illustrated throughout with photographs of the dishes themselves and the life and landscapes of Spain.
