A world of diversity opens when you learn to cook authentic Spanish recipes. How Spaniards make those tasty dishes for friends and family!
Variety is a major keyword in Spain's cuisine. Nobody less than Gordon Ramsay is a fan, for good reasons.
If you have visited the country, you probably had those mouthwatering seafood dishes, tapas, pinchos, and more. People today crave whole foods, and rightly so.
Highly processed foods are no good for our health. We're becoming more aware of our food choices.
It would be nice to have an experienced cook to help you, right? Well, I am that guy, and I'm pleased to help. Even with local, fresh ingredients, wonders are made. The rest is some know-how. That's where I come in.
Perhaps one day you'll find out the foods in Spain are the same as the ones on this website. I hope my authentic recipes can make you a fan too.
To make Spanish recipes, you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen. That alone can make anyone a fan of this cuisine.
Have warm memories of a time under the Spanish sun? A dish may take you back to that great experience.
Rest assured, that dish is likely on this website. The aroma’s alone might trigger a trip down memory lane.
Some travelers I know wondered how they make that delicious fideuà. They were intimidated. But then realized how easy it was to make.

Chiringuitos at the golden, crystal-water beaches of Spain. The picturesque towns and my parents' and grandparents' kitchens.
As I grew up, I discovered one mouthwatering dish after another. These are all connected to my past, holding good memories.
I particularly loved my mother's lentejas con fideos (lentils with vermicelli) and her pollo al ajillo. Muy rico!
Besides their natural and healthy nature, these tasty recipes can make you want more.
As a Spaniard, I would be pleased to be your insider into a kitchen known as one of the healthiest in the world.
Welcome to my site. My name is Edu and I'm here to pass on my Spanish recipes for you to savor! As a Spanish cook I enjoy sharing my heritage with others, especially foods. The ones our parents and grandparents prepare in Spain.

Let me tell you, those terraces are packed in the evenings. It may surprise you how often this happens.
That's our national sport besides football (soccer). Family life and being together are a thing. However, recipe differences depend on the province you're in. Patatas aliña (a potato salad) in Cadiz is not the same as the one in Seville.
