The Food of Northern Spain: Recipes from the Gastronomic Heartland of Spain

Spanish food has taken the culinary world by storm, and the food of northern Spain represents the best the Iberian peninsula has to offer. These regions produce wonderful raw ingredients, which the home cooks of Spain have long used to create classic dishes like Romesco and Alioli, and modern-day chefs have rediscovered in order to bring Spanish food to the forefront of the gourmet world. All the dishes here are designed for cooking in your own kitchen and ingredients are carefully explained. The Food of Northern Spain discovers how the Spanish eat and their passion for good food; what the store cupboard basics are and the best Spanish wines to accompany different dishes; and how to channel them into over 150 recipes. Every recipe stays faithful to the Spanish version and has introductory text that illuminates the history of the dish, when the Spanish might eat it, and different versions or useful tips. With wonderful photos taken by Jean Cazals, this title is both an insight into the cuisine of the area and a unique cookery book.
