NEW RELEASES SPANISH CLASSICS A COLLECTION OF MOUTH-WATERING ANDALUCIAN DISHES


OUR PICK COCINA DE ANDALUCIA María José Sevilla Madrid-born María José Sevilla has built a career on sharing the recipes, techniques and traditions of her homeland with Brits and the wider world. Her latest book explores Spain’s southernmost region, Andalucia — home to many of the country’s best-loved ingredients.


Sevilla conjures up visions of kitchen gardens bathed in summer


sunshine, ripe with sweet tomatoes and plummy aubergines, while also exploring the preserves and precious produce that can be found in the cooler months. Chapters are interspersed with anecdotes from her life, as well as notes on subjects such as olive oil production, age-old fishing techniques, the origins of tapas bars and a handful of the most memorable meals she’s enjoyed in the region. The 75 recipes encompass vegetables, fish, meat and sweet


dishes, and feature the likes of Andalucian bread rolls with tomatoes, olive oil and Ibérico ham; pork cheeks in Ronda wine; and chorizo in oloroso sherry. Many are joyfully simple, requiring just a handful of ingredients, with alternatives offered throughout for any hard-to-source components. £22, Ryland Peters & Small

BEST OF THE BALKANS Doma Spasia Pandora Dinkovski London-based chef Dinkovski’s first book is a bright, brash ode to her Macedonian heritage that flies in the face of what she calls ‘the miserable guardians of authenticity’. The result: a fresh take on Balkan flavours, from ajvar (red pepper and aubergine relish) to sarma (pickled cabbage rolls). £22, DK
