Traditional Baking Recipes of Spain

by Malcolm Coxall

Overview

Spanish cuisine is extraordinarily varied, intertwined as it is with the country's amazing history, and its cultural and geographical diversity. Every Spanish recipe has its own story! But Spanish traditional baking is in a league of its own. Spanish bakery has it all - from flat bread made on campfires by Celtic shepherds to honey fritters from the Moorish Caliphates. We have the favourite pastries of Catherine de Medici, lemon cakes made for fertility rites in rural Aragon, and tarts made for the Habsburg emperors by closed orders of Spanish nuns. The story of Spanish bakery is full of adventure, intrigue and humanity. No other part of Spanish cuisine reflects the story of Spain as well as its traditional bakery and many of Europe's oldest baking traditions come from Spain. Here we present over 250 traditional baking recipes of Spain - but not just that. This book is also a social, historical and cultural journey. We hope you enjoy the journey - we are sure you will enjoy the recipes!
