Salmorejo is a cold soup with a tomato base- much like the ever popular gazpacho. What makes salmorejo different than gazpacho (Spain's other cold soup) is the addition of quite a bit of stale bread, hard-boiled...
I lived in Spain for two years where I was taught the art of making the Paella which originated in Valencia. I haven't found anything on here which is even close to authentic, so I thought I would add...
This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum. This one is not diluted with carbonated beverages. I have...
Literally translating to "Brothy Rice", arros caldoso is a typical Valencian rice dish. It's an easy one-pot wonder and can be found all over the Iberian peninsular and is by far one of the most hearty...
For some reason, my husband thinks he loves gazpacho. Yet if I make a regular size batch, he eats 1 or 2 bowls & that's it. No complaints; it simply doesn't taste as good as he thinks it will. This is...
Everybody likes chicken and rice. Just about every major culture has some sort of version of this archetypal recipe (by the way, people from minor cultures please save your emails). This is pure down-to-the-bone...
What an incredibly deliscious meal- and amazing presentation. Have fun making it - change it up to suit your taste buds... Invest in a Paella pan for this dish or use a large oven safe dish.

This is a fairly quick and easy recipe for empanadas. A friend recently gave it to me, and my whole family loved them!!! Just about any kind of fruit, including melon, is fine. Or make the meat filling...
I was in Spain for Thanks Giving and I bought a cooking magazine called "Comer Bien" Great recipes. This is one of them. The original name of the recipe is "Hojaldre de merluza y calabacin" The recipe...
One of the more famous Spanish tapas served all over the world. The original recipe calls for the exclusion of butter, onions, and brandy. I decided to skip the lemon juice,and sherry or white wine. In...
Despite the awkward name, this fast and user-friendly wet rub did a fine job flavoring some carne asada I grilled recently (yes, that was redundant). I'm calling it Spanish mustard since I spiked the Dijon...
Admittedly this will be a bit time consuming but I think it sounds wonderful. It wants the puff pastry caps removed which seems a shame to me. I think the presentation would be marvelous with them still...
This very refreshing and light sangria is perfect for hot game days. I use 'Real Sangria' from the wine section at the local grocer. It's a dark bottle with an orange label.
This delicious recipe is loaded with flavor. It's the perfect dish to serve for special occasions or during the Holidays. VIDEO https://youtu.be/wRCA_YzaQPs
I have loved paella since the first time I tried it while traveling through Spain at 17. Though I could never make it as great as my friend's mom in Madrid, this recipe comes so close! It's a favorite...
