The guru of great dishes throughout the world, Robert Carrier brings us a new treasure. 'Great Dishes of Spain' features the history and current style of Spain through its food, beginning with Arab rule which brought almonds, dates, rice aubergines, oranges and lemons, honey and the spices: saffron, cumin and coriander. He then explores Jewish influence, the imports from the New World (tomatoes, potatoes, chillies etc), cooking with olive oil, the art of tapes, tortilla and egg dishes, sauces and marinades, gazpacho and other soups, fish and shellfish, cocido and other meats, vegetables and salads, finishing with the sweets and pastries for which Spain is famous. It features 200 recipes, each accompanied by sumptuous photography.
