Sabor
Nieves Barragan Mohacho is the acclaimed chef and owner of one of London’s most acclaimed Spanish restaurants, Sabor. She started out at London’s Barrafina restaurants where she climbed the ranks to executive chef, winning Barrafina Frith Street a Michelin Star in the process. Despite her cheffing background, this is a cookbook rooted in the more humble cooking of her Basque upbringing. A celebration of ingredients and flavour, these are recipes for sharing, from comfort family cooking – think: chorizo and potato stew – to lighter bites, like seafood skewers and stuffed piquillo peppers.

You can’t talk about Spanish cooking without mentioning Claudia Roden.

From braised rabbit and sweet lamb stews to paellas and potato tortillas, this is a book that covers the sometimes subtle – and often not so subtle – differences between the country’s verdant north and its Flamenco-loving south and everything in between.
