An enthralling Andalusian culinary journey from sierra to sea.
For nearly eight centuries from 711 to 1492, Moorish rule in Andalusía
brought about a revolution in Spanish culture, resulting in
architectural splendors like the Alhambra as well as a rich culinary
history. Andaluz is a quest to illustrate the legacy of the Arabs and
Berbers in the kitchens of southern Spain today.
Couscous, rice, eggplant, oranges, apricots, marzipan, and a wealth of
spices are just a few ever-present ingredients that owe their influence
to the Moorish people--along with a meticulous attention to the
cultivation of olive varieties that Andalusía is renowned for. By
digging deep into traditional dishes, scouring markets, and learning
from home cooks, local tavern owners, and Michelin-starred restaurant
chefs, Fiona Dunlop offers a vivid gastronomic window on this region.
Entries from the author's travel diary accompany sumptuous recipes--from
Granada in the east to Córdoba at its heart and Seville in the
south--bringing a taste of Moorish Spain to kitchens everywhere.
With beautiful food and location photography Andaluz is bound to
become the cookbook you will visit time and time again.
