Spanish food recipes

Within these Spanish recipe pages, you will find a multitude of recipes which refelect the true nature of Spanish cooking. It is rich and varied, much like the country itself, and always includes the finest of ingredients, the quality of which are Spanish recipesrenowned worldwide. Spains culinary history began with the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians settling the coastal areas. Later the Romans, and more importantly the Moors brought with them elements of their own cooking which lingered and blended into Spain's culinary heritage. Imports from the New World included the tomato, potato, sweet potato, vanilla, chocolate, many varieties of beans, courgette, and the various peppers and chillis. There are olives in profusion and the Spaniards are very fond of garlic, they love all types of sweet and hot peppers and the beloved jamon serrano. The golden spice saffron enhances many Spanish foods, paella in particular as well as many other dishes including Asturian fabada, a wonderful mixture of beans, chorizo, morcilla and salt pork . Much of the meat eaten in Spain is derived from the pig, and not suprisingly so, as not only can pigs be reared very cheaply (Spain was until recent years very poor) but very little is wasted. As my grandmother used to say "the only things in a pig you cant eat are its squeal and the curl in its tail".
