About the Book
Chef José Pizarro grew up on a farming family's land in central-western Spain, where meals were built around whatever the season, the garden and the farmyard provided. In The Spanish Home Kitchen, he returns to that childhood home to retell the recipes passed from his grandmother, to his mother, and eventually to him. The result is a collection of more than 80 dishes that range from simple vegetable plates and comforting stews to rustic tapas and indulgent puddings, including standout recipes such as Shoulder of Iberico Pork in Rich Tomato Sauce, Migas with Fried Egg, Chorizo and Bacon, and Cherries in Aguardiente Syrup with Pistachio Ice Cream. Alongside the recipes sit personal anecdotes and family memories that give real context to Spanish home cooking. This hardback edition is generously photographed throughout, with clear step-by-step guidance suited to confident cooks and enthusiastic beginners alike. Named one of Hot Dinners' Best Cookbooks of 2022, the book has been praised for its warmth and authenticity, cementing José's reputation as one of the most trusted voices in Spanish cooking in the UK today.
