A combination restaurant companion/culinary reference, Spanish Cuisine familiarizes you with both classical Spanish cooking and the myriad regional dishes found throughout the country, from Catalu?a to the Canary Islands. Whether it's a hardy Extremaduran fais?n a las uvas (pot roasted pheasant with grapes) or a spicy calamares rellenos (Balearic stuffed squid) it tells you what it is, what's in it, how it's prepared, how it differs from region to region, and more.

An ideal companion to take along on your next journey to Spain, as well as a valuable reference for amateur and professional cooks who'd like to add the distinctive tastes of Spain to their international repertoire, Spanish Cuisine gives you:

• A complete dictionary of Spanish dishes
• Ingredients for hundreds of classical and regional dishes, organized by course
