This is a book about discovery and rediscovery -- the rediscovery of many culinary delights of traditional regional cooking and the seeking-out of the newer additions to the Spanish family cookbook. It offers a selection of recipes which ranges from the simple, rustic fare of time-honoured home cooking to the delicately flavoured and highly esteemed dishes of more sophisticated Spanish cuisine. Over 250 recipes covering all aspects of the Spanish meal, from tapas (appetisers) to pasteles (cakes and pastries). Features a new wine section, including information on classic Spanish sherries and riojas.
