This is a book about discovery and rediscovery -- the rediscovery of many culinary delights of traditional regional cooking and the seeking-out of the newer additions to the Spanish family cookbook. It offers a selection of recipes which ranges from the simple, rustic fare of time-honoured home cooking to the delicately flavoured and highly esteemed dishes of more sophisticated Spanish cuisine. Over 250 recipes covering all aspects of the Spanish meal, from tapas (appetisers) to pasteles (cakes and pastries). Features a new wine section, including information on classic Spanish sherries and riojas.

Best Spanish Cuisine Cookbook I've found,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Spanish Family Cookbook: Favorite Family Recipes (Hippocrene International Cookbook Series) (Paperback)
This is the best cookbook I have. Not that I don't use others probably more but when I'm entertaining or cooking for a crowd this is the cookbook I reach for because the recipes are clear, detailed, and the food is incredible. The one drawback is that there are times when the term "season to taste" is used... and you do need to determine what spices and herbs you'd like to use. If you have a preferred way of preparing various items (fish, meat, chicken, rice) this gives you the versatility to flavor things your own way. They don't do this for all recipes... some call for very specific flavors and they give you specific quantities.
They provide many varieties on various recipes - how to substitute or where the meat is optional - and they usually explain fairly clearly what works and why. It's not as technical as Cook's Illustrated, it's more like someone taking the time to write down how and why your grandmother cooked the way she did. I can highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good Spanish cookbook to prepare anything from Tapas to Paella and everything in between.
