The Food of Spain - A Journey for Food Lovers is an extensive exploration of real Spanish food today. A guide to both traditional and modern recipes, this book gives an insight into Spanish cuisine and the abundance of fresh produce and local ingredients used to create these delicious dishes.

The book gives a real taste of Spain’s intense passion for food, wine and time-honoured culinary traditions. Through a journey from the tapas bars of Madrid to the home kitchens of Granada, the markets of Barcelona, and “cocina nueva” restaurants of San Sebastian, the book unravels the food that defines today’s Spanish cooking: garlic mushrooms and chorizo with cider, a saffron-infused seafood paella, or 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.
