From The Publisher:

An Introduction to Spanish Cooking
-Where do you find prawns in raincoats?
-How should authentic paella be prepared?
-Why is pata negra the tastiest- and most costly- ham?
-Is there anything better than gazpacho on a hot summer's day or fabada asturiana when winter winds blow?
-Why do you need "extra virgin" in the kitchen?

You'll find the answers in this cookbook with a difference. It offers an invaluable introduction to the infinate variety of Spanish cuisine, quintessentially Mediterranean but with Moorish and Latin-American Influences.

Preparing an elaborate dinner party, a simple lunch or a spread of delicious tapas? Great Dishes of Spain gives you the information you need. Included are traditional dishes from across the country- from garlic-sizzled prawns, Galician pork pies, and lamb braised with sweet peppers to such vegetarian dishes as spinach with raisins and pine nuts and desserts like Catalan Custard.

Award-winning food writer Janet Mendel learned the secrets of cooking Spanish-style the hard way, by visiting over many years the kitchens of neighbours and of restaurants, interviewing chefs and housewives, farmers and winemakers, and testing every recipe herself.
