Recipes from Catalonia

"A truly beautiful book, written by my favorite Spanish man. These pages are packed with joyful rays of inspiration and utter deliciousness."--Jamie Oliver Located in the northeast of Spain, Catalonia borders France's Pyrenees mountains and has a heritage and scenery like no other place in the world. In Recipes from Catalonia, José Pizarro travels from the impressive Gaudi architecture in buzzy Barcelona, to the Roman and Greek ruins in Girona, and secluded beaches in Costa Brava to create some of the best-loved dishes from the Catalonian region at home. Starting in the markets, José revels in the fresh meat, fish, and vegetables, with dishes including classic Patatas Bravas, a delicious Duck Egg and Mushroom Stew, and a Rabbit Rice, typical of the region. From a Roast Chicken with Langoustines, Baby Squid with Mint that's perfect for spring, to a wintery Civet of Venison with Ceps and Mash, and the delicate Hazelnut and Plum cakes, José's interpretation of the regional flavors will inspire you to get into the kitchen. Set to the backdrop of stunning location photography, Recipes from Catalonia will make you feel truly transported to this special region.
