Summary:

Bursting with the enticing and varied flavors of the seven culinary regions of Spain, this new cookbook by Penelope Casas, the most knowledgeable American expert on Spanish cuisine, takes us on a gastronomic journey full of new discoveries. By digging into old Spanish cookbooks and family recipe collections, by observing local cooks at home and chefs at work, Penelope Casas has unearthed all the essential cooking techniques and the subtle flavor secrets that make authentic Spanish food so appealing. Year after year, she and her Spanish husband have shepherded groups of American tourists, exploring the remotest corners of Spain as well as the more traveled areas, discovering extraordinary new eating experiences. She knows exactly what appeals to American tastes and what we yearn to reproduce at home. Now she has translated all of her findings into recipes that will be every bit as delicious prepared in your own kitchen as on their native soil.
