What the Spanish really cook at home

If you want to prepare truly authentic Spanish dishes, from paella to patatas con chorizo, there is only one book you need - the traditional cooking bible of Spain that contains 1,080 recipes from the mother and daughter team of Simone and Inés Ortega now translated into English for the first time
In the last 30 years over a million copies of 1080 have been sold in Spain. It is the bible of Spanish cookery, Spain's favourite cookbook, and contains recipes for everything from little ham croquetas, perfect paellas or tortilla Espanol to patatas con chorizo and pigs' trotters, Spanish style. The original book was written by Simone Ortega, a Spanish food writer who has been writing for 50 years and whose work is hugely respected by luminaries like the Spanish über-chef, Ferran Adrià: 'This is an historic book, for those who like to feed the soul as well as the stomach.'
The book has now been translated into English for the first time. Simone's daughter, Inés, herself a well-known foodie, teamed up with her mother to revise and update the original. The result is truly comprehensive, containing 1,080 recipes, with clear explanations to help non-natives cook impressive tapas or bigger traditional dishes. There are lots of helpful notes about alternative ingredients, or what to do to change the texture of a dish. If you've ever wanted to be able to cook Spanish food, this is really the only book you'll ever need to buy.
