Catalonia is a region situated on the west coast of the
Mediterranean and blessed with one of the richest food cultures in
Europe. Although Catalonia is still geographically and politically
connected to Spain, Catalans consider themselves independent with
their own language, history, culture, and cuisine. Its food is
considered unique in Spain, and it is home to one of the highest
concentrations of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world.
Catalan cuisine does not centre around tapas, and although pintxos
do feature heavily, they are not the mainstay of the region and
most dishes are larger, stand-alone meals. As The Catalan Kitchen
illustrates, the best dishes are heavily influenced by pork and
fresh seafood, with a focus on fresh, seasonal produce that varies
from recipes as simple as crushed tomatoes smeared on bread to
hearty, slow-cooked stews. Famous dishes include calcots-large
salad onions cooked on a coal barbecue and then dipped into nutty
and addictive Romesco sauce, a unique paella made without saffron
and the addition of vermicelli noodles, myriad types of Catalan
sausage served with white beans, sauces such as aioli and picada,
and multiple pastries and desserts including creme Catalan. This is
the ultimate cookbook for lovers of Spanish and Mediterranean food.
