Product Description

Product Description
Spanish food has been shaped by many influences, amongst them Roman, Arabic and Jewish. There are many common threads within the cooking of Spain, from salt cod to saffron and yet the sense of regional identity and separatism remains strong in the many provinces and is proudly reflected in the cooking. Each chapter highlights a different ingredient or ingredients from a different region of Spain. The introductory narratives tell the story in terms of culture, history, cultivation, tradition and context and above all bring the products to life by talking to the producers themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much more than just Spanish cooking, 30 April 2007
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
regional ingredients, recipes and stories from Spain.

'There are many common threads within the cooking of Spain, from rice to oranges, and Spanish home cooking throughout the Peninsula is simple, uncomplicated and direct.
The flavours of prime local ingredients need no disguise or affectation. Yet, for both historical and geographical reasons, the sense of regional identity and separatism remains strong in the many provinces of Spain, and this is also proudly reflected in the cooking.

'The Spanish Kitchen' is divided into 17 chapters, each highlighting an ingredient from a particular region of Spain.
Each chapters tells the story of an ingredient in terms of culture, history, cultivation, traditions, location and context. A selection of recipes using that ingredient then follow, illustrating perfectly the Spanish pride in quality regional products and their determination to safeguard their unique Iberian cultural heritage.'

160 high quality pages.
Each recipe is clearly laid out, opening with some notes relevant to the dish, the number of servings/ingredients and method.

A taste of the recipes within:-

Anchovy Tapas
Baked Fish with Olive Oil and Lemon Dressing
Rum and Raisin Flan
Málaga Ice Cream Sundae
Cinnamon Rice Pudding
Orange and Avocado Salad
Garlic Soup
Steak with Cabrales Sauce
Marinated Steak with Tomato and Pepper Sauce
Oxtail Stew with Chestnuts
Beef with Olives and Almonds
Manchego Cheese Fritters
Caldereta
Lamb Cutlets with Fresh Fig Sauce
Tropical Banana Cake
Baked Bananas with Ginger Cream and Coconut Sorbet
Wild Mushroom Tortilla

Full colour `on-location' photography throughout, although limited of the finished dishes, which might prove slightly negative to some who like to see what they are aiming for!

Having said that this is much more that just a recipe book!
