The Spanishwoman's Kitchen
by Pepita Aris

Synopsis

This work brings together over 125 reginal and seasonal Spanish recipes. Gathered from disparate sources, such as mothers, grandmothers, a Marquesa, and a Franciscan nun, the dishes include a rich bean and suasage pot, chilled soups, and real paella from Valencia.

Book Information

Spain has a vast and varied landscape: towering mountains, snowcapped even in summer, cool upland valleys, arid semi-desert landscapes, dramatic coastlines and verdant countryside are just a few of the regional contrasts to be found. As varied as the regions themselves are the domestic recipes and food styles, reflecting the experience of generations in getting the best from simple ingredients. Home cooking can be said to be the true flavour and character of Spanish cuisine.

Reviewer: "wndown" - See all my reviews

I am a real lover of cooking and cookery books from around the world. I believe a cookbook should be more than just a collection of recipes, so much more enjoyable to read of the region each dish comes from, some history. Beside being a real treasure trove of scrumptious recipes, (tried many of them already!), it makes great reading and is a delight to the eye too. I heartily recommend this book for those who like something extra from their cookery books.
