Spain

Food and wine, recipes and cooking methods from Spain.

Wine in the Spanish islands

Spain, a country known for its rich culture, cuisine, and of course, wines, offers a diverse range of flavors and experiences. The Spanish islands of the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands are no exception. These archipelagos boast a unique terroir and climate, producing wines that are as distinctive as the landscapes they come from.

The wines of Spanish north east interior

Spain has long been known for its rich culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes. Among its many treasures, the country is also home to an extensive range of exquisite wines. The Spanish North East interior, comprising the regions of Aragon, La Rioja, and Navarra, is particularly renowned for its viticulture. These areas, blessed with an ideal combination of geographical features and climate, have been producing exceptional wines for centuries.

Classic flan

Calling flan a caramel custard is to do it an injustice. No mere pudding, this traditional Spanish dessert is the crème de la crème of sweets. Of course, not surprisingly, there are a hundred and one variations on the basic recipe. But sometimes the original is so much more than one can expect, to alter it is to approach cooking blasphemy.

Flan

A tasty, sweet and soft European tradition, now with a Central American twist as it is made with evaporated milk and baked.

A taste of Cordoba

Cordoba shares with Seville and Granada a unique Moorish heritage that can be seen in the awe-inspiring architecture of mosques, places and gardens and also in the delicious food and recipes that local people love to share with visitors.
