His family had been farmers for generations and he spent his childhood on his parent&rsquo;s farm, helping his father produce vegetables, dairy products and different meats.

Recipes include: Shoulder of Iberico Pork in Rich Tomato Sauce with Zesty Couscous; Migas with Fried Egg, Chorizo and Bacon; Seared Squid with Caramelised Fennel and Onions and Lemon and Parsley Dressing; Cherries in Aguardiente Syrup with Pistachio Ice Cream. From nostalgic childhood favourites that his mother fed the family, to more modern recipes with his Spanish twist, there&rsquo;s a recipe here for everyone.

José Pizarro is an award-winning chef and bestselling author, dubbed 'The Godfather of Spanish Food' in the UK. He worked at Meson de Doña Filo in Madrid before coming to London. He runs the successful tapas and sherry bar José and restaurant Pizarro as well as restaurants José Pizarro and Lolo, in London, The Swan in Surrey and two restaurants at The Royal Academy of Arts.
