Vivid Flavors from Spain’s Mediterranean Coast

Recipes such as the classic Potato Omelet, Valencian Paella with Shellfish, Eggplant Flan, Sweet Red Peppers Stuffed with Duck, Salt Cod with Garlic and Paprika, Pork Loin with Pomegranate Sauce, and Cinnamon Ice Cream with Warm Strawberry Coulis take the fresh ingredients of the region and combine them to create full-flavored meals. Catalan Cuisine, Colman Andrews’s homage to Catalonia, gives home cooks a passport to these simple yet vibrant flavors with 200 show-stopping recipes that are easy to prepare and sure to amaze.
