The Spanish Home Kitchen – Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US/UK/AU/NZ giveaway to win one of three copies of The Spanish Home Kitchen: Simple, Seasonal Recipes and Memories from My Home by José Pizarro.

The Spanish Home Kitchen: Seasonal Recipes from my Home by José Pizarro is the Spanish chef’s latest offering. José grew up in central-western Spain, in the tiny village of Talaván. His family had been farmers for generations, and he spent his childhood on his parent’s farm, helping his father produce vegetables, dairy products and different meats. Life in this small village centered on dinner, with great recipes passed from generation to generation through his grandmother, to his mother, and now him.

In his new book, José travels back to his mother’s house to draw inspiration from the flavors he grew up with, and shares over 80 of his favorite recipes, which he has gathered from all over Spain. From nostalgic childhood favorites that his mother fed the family, to more modern recipes with his Spanish twist, there’s a recipe here for everyone.

I am a fan of Pizarro’s cookbooks but this one is special and approachable containing recipes that any of us can recreate in our kitchens to bring a taste of Spain home to us. While all the recipes are appealing, my favorite chapter is the last one – Sweets. I love desserts from around the world and this book has a number of desserts that I haven’t tried yet. I hope to remedy that soon – the Cardamom and orange repápalos, Coquillos with lavender honey syrup, and  Santiago cake with PX cream are first up.

Our takes you inside this beautiful book and features the following eight

If you are new to Chef Pizarro’s books – this is the one to add to your bookshelf.
