More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Author Jane Lawson has artfully reinvented traditional dishes with a modern flair - keeping alive the colours, flavours and textures of the Spanish classics. Each chapter has been inspired by the passion and heat of the new Spanish kitchen and the way the Spaniards really like to eat. Enjoy sharing a drink over a variety of tapas dishes, such as sweet pork empanadas or pan-fried morcilla with apples and sage. Indulge in rich authentic meals - pork and lima bean hotpot with green picada and pork crackling or crisp cumin chicken with red capsicum jam. And to top it all off, a classic dessert or a cocktail with a twist - sangria granita or sweet bunuelos filled with orange curd and whipped cream. The flavours of the new Spanish kitchen will delight those who have a flair for Spanish cuisine and those who are yet to try.

Spanish Delights
3 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
Having revived my delightful foray into Spanish cuisine and finding it most alluring, I recently acquired this book after it went out of print - and went into reprint. The full flavours of Spanish dishes that people world wide find themselves swooning over can be found here in this humble yet beautifully presented cookbook by Jane Lawson. I found out about it in '06 thru a much-loved and well-used copy of 'delicious.' magazine, and when I found I couldn't get a copy of the book I was quite upset (because all the dishes featured in the magazine were so good!).
The search ended here! -as well as locally when the book came back into print in the current soft cover edition.
Jane knows her foods, and it is proven in the way the dishes effortlessly come together, and we have found a favourite at our table in the recipe for Chicken with Sherry, Orange and Olives. As with all Spanish foods, the flavour stays strong right to the end of the dish - and you lick your lips, unable to wait for dessert!
Even if you're not a fan of some of the 'warmer' more traditionally spicy dishes Spain is known for, there is definitely something here for everyone. You won't regret owning this book, and all the ingredients are easy to come by - or if need be, substituted. If you're looking for something new instead of cooking the "same old, same old", grab a copy of this!!
Recipe titles include: pimientos rellenos, dates with blue cheese and jamon, coca, sweet pork empanadas, quince and three cheese tartlets, frosted horchata, as well as all the usual suspects of Spanish cookbooks. Don't let the titles intimidate you, as there are gorgeous full colour pics opposite each recipe. I never knew what some of these things were until I saw them, and they are soooo good to taste. The book also came with the recommendation of a local chef who has tried almost every single recipe and loved them, and that said enough on its own! There are several sassy sauces that go with some of the dishes (as well as the staple traditional "allioli" - or garlic mayo) that are able to be made on their own if you like nice chutneys with your sandwhiches or meat.
Too easy :)
