Synopsis
Discover Spain's culture and cuisine
Claudia Roden has spent five years researching and writing about the food of Spain, resulting in this definitive, passionate and evocative cookbook which takes in the different regions and looks at the history, the people and the culture at the heart of this country, and at that which binds it all together - the delicious food and recipes passed down through generations. From simple, rustic tapas and delicately flavoured soups, to elaborate celebratory dishes served on silver platters and cakes and desserts each with a story to tell, this is the book about Spain to learn from and to cook from.

‘This is a beautiful, inspirational and must-have volume.' - Nigella Lawson
‘I can now add Spanish food to the long list of subjects in which Claudia Roden is, literally, the highest authority. Whether it is a tomato and tuna empanadilla recipe or a short introduction to Basque cuisine, she would be my first port of call. Blindfolded, I would follow Claudia on any culinary journey. I absolutely love both her food and her stories’ - Yotam Ottolenghi
‘Claudia Roden, ole! Having inspired a whole raft of chefs and cooks, this book shows her inspirational tanks are still bursting at the seams. An essential book to get the juices going.’ - Fergus Henderson
‘What an excellent selection of recipes with writing and photographs of such knowledge and charm' - Sam and Sam Clark
‘In an overcrowded marketplace of chefs and cookery writers Claudia remains utterly unique. She brings a culture to life with food and stories that enthralls us all. The recipes are knock-out: fascinating, a bit different and above all totally scrumptious. This book is undoubtedly destined to be as seminal on Spain as her Middle Eastern and Jewish books were.' - Allegra McEvedy
