Spain-with its craggy mountains, expansive plains, and glorious coastlines-is a country with a native cuisine as varied and stunning as its terrain. From the juicy oranges of the south to the fresh fish of northern regions, and the olive oils and wines produced across the land, Spanish cooks have access to a wealth of ingredients bursting with distinctive colors and flavors. This beautifully illustrated recipe book features the best of Spain. Appetizers include a dish of tasty Salted Cod Bites with Garlic Mayonnaise and a classic, refreshing Gazpacho. Seafood dishes include a Chunky Seafood Stew and a mouthwatering Seafood Paella. Hot and cold dishes are both included in a traditional Spanish meal, and Spanish Chili Potatoes, Mediterranean Mixed Pepper Salad, and Chicken con Chorizo can all be served either hot from the oven or chilled for picnics. An assortment of luscious desserts made from sun-drenched fruits provides a refreshing finale. Each recipe is complete with clear, step-by-step instructions, color photos, and expert cook's tips.
