Every chef has his or her must-have ingredients, and at The Spanish Pantry, award-winning chef José Pizarro invites you into his kitchen to share his.

With a few key ingredients from the Spanish pantry, you too can prepare authentic, fuss-free meals, whether it's a weeknight dinner or a feast to share with friends. José draws inspiration from all over Spain, featuring greatest-hits recipes: paella, tortilla, croquettes, classic stews, desserts and more. From inventive ways of using tomatoes, peppers, garlic and olive oil, to more typically Spanish ingredients such as Manchego, chorizo and ham, these recipes follow José's signature style: few ingredients, but lots of flavour.

The chapters are organised into 12 sections, each based on an ingredient: onions, tomatoes, peppers, chorizo, Manchego, almonds, lemons, rice, chickpeas, beans, ham and saffron.

This elegant cookbook is packed with modern recipes and beautiful photographs of locations in Spain, and is an essential addition to your cookbook collection. Never before has Spanish food been so accessible... or so delicious.
