Easy Spanish Cookbook

With this inspiring new cookbook, Norema Salinas serves as our sure-footed guide to the unique delights of Spanish food, in all its regional glory. She invites us to follow in her own estimable footsteps to discover and fall in love with the ingredients, traditions, and stories that make Spanish food culture so vibrant and special. Whether you are inspired to gather family around a cozy cocido madrileno stew, or to channel the ambiance of a boisterous Spanish bar with a spread of tapas, what better way to truly bring Spain home? --Susan Miller-Davis, principal of Infinite Table and author of What's for dinner: plant-rich feasts for any occasion If you can't go Tasca hopping in Spain, the recipes in this cookbook will surely give you a virtual tour and an authentic taste of Spain. It includes great recipes, the equipment needed, and the best of Spanish products available. A bonus is the history tidbits and types of wine to match with the food. I can hardly wait to try her gambas al ajillo and her churros with chocolate sauce! It is just what I needed to take me back to Spain. --Betty Zlatchin, founder of Betty Zlatchin Catering As a Spaniard now living in California and missing the simple pleasures of Spanish cooking, I find Norema's book comforting, inspiring, and refreshing. At a time when cooking and entertaining at home is more relevant than ever, this book is a great addition to every kitchen. The dishes are easy to create for small as well as large gatherings--we'll be using it at our weekly Tertulia dinners with friends. --Celia Tejada, designer and lifestyle visionary This wonderful book is a combination of recipes that really work and an insight into the history and culture of Spanish cooking. Norema Salinas guides you through each dish with simple directions and provides a rich, personal introduction to the regions and origins of the cuisine. Cooking from this book will bring the flavors of Spain to your home! --Douglas Monsalud, Chef and Restaurateur
