Rick Stein explores the edible delicacies and delights found in Spain's diverse regions.

'I've wanted to make a series in Spain for a long

time. I love Spanish food, I've been going there since I was a young boy

- but until quite recently I don't think people really took the food

seriously. Thanks to a handful of really dedicated Spanish chefs and a

growing enthusiasm for its rugged flavours, that has all begun to

change. To me the underlying point of journeying to Spain

would be to discover the 'duende' in the cooking. By that I mean a sense

of soul, of authenticity. The word is normally used in flamenco but I

think it could be equally applied to the art of Spanish cooking because

to my mind, in really good food, there is a communication between the

cook and diner that amounts to art.'

Rick Stein

In his beautifully designed and illustrated cookbook to accompany a

major BBC2,

4-part series, Rick has selected over 140 recipes that

capture the

authentic taste of Spain today.

Spain

is a country that tantalises every sense with its colourful

sights,

evocative music, vibrant traditions and bold cookery. Spanish

cooking

has a rich history, with flavours reflecting a broad range of

cultural

influences. Rick samples his way through the specialties and

hidden treats

of each region, taking in the changing landscape from the

mountainous

northern regions through the Spanish plains to

Mediterranean beaches.

With over 100

Spanish recipes and location photographs, this is an essential cookbook for

food-lovers as well as

a stunning culinary guide to a diverse country.
