Spanish cuisine is a melting-pot of cultures, flavours and
ingredients: Greek and Roman, Jewish, Moorish and Middle Eastern.
It has been enriched by its climate, geology and spectacular
topography, which have encouraged a variety of regional food
traditions and `Cocinas', such as Basque, Galician, Castilian,
Andalusian and Catalan. It has been shaped by the country's complex
history, as foreign occupations brought religious and cultural
influences that determined what people ate and still eat. And it
has continually evolved with the arrival of new ideas and
foodstuffs from Italy, France and the Americas, including cocoa,
potatoes, tomatoes, beans, and chilli peppers. This is the first
book in English to trace the history of the food of Spain from
antiquity to the present day. From the use of pork fat and olive
oil to the Spanish passion for aubergines and pomegranates, Maria
Jose Sevilla skilfully weaves together the history of Spanish
cuisine, the circumstances affecting its development and
characteristics, and the country's changing relationship to food
and cookery.
