Spanish food is at the forefront of the culinary world. This is the first book to present the breadth of northern Spanish food in a simple and accessible way. All the dishes have been double-tested and are designed for cooking in your own kitchen. Each ingredient is carefully explained and key Spanish foods - such as peppers, beans and salt cod - are dealt with in detail.

Every recipe stays faithful to the Spanish version (with some small adjustments for the non-Spanish cook). Accompanying text illuminates the history of the dish and offers different versions or useful tips.
