Why I love this book?
The Spanish Pantry almost defines the essence of Somerset Foodie and is the way I go about creating meals for my family. Having a beautiful larder full of wonderful ingredients is my GO-TO inspiration for cooking delicious food. The Spanish are obsessed with quality ingredients, it's the foundation of their entire cuisine and this book is packed full of ideas that are accessible and easy to follow.
