Basque

From its obsession with the perfect pintxos to boasting the most Michelin-starred restaurants per capita in the world, the Basque region offers plenty for food lovers. In Basque, Jose Pizarro shares recipes for the areas most-loved dishes, including the traditional bacalao (salt cod with pisto and allioli) and hake a la plancha with potatoes and Romesco sauce. He dispels the myth that creating traditional Spanish tapas is a laborious task and shows you how to bring the experience of dining in the region s bars to your own kitchen and enjoy croquetas (stuffed fried potato croquettes), tortilla de patatas (Spanish omelette), and Jamon Iberico (cured ham). Featuring stunning location photography of the Basque country, this book will whisk you to the heart of Spanish culture.

José has also put together some menus and drinks suggestions to help you plan, shop, cook and, most importantly, enjoy this wonderful way of eating and socialising.
