Barcelona: Authentic Recipes Celebrating the Foods of the World (Williams-Sonoma Collection)

Author: Williams Sonoma

An extensive history, a varied geography, and a fierce pride in the old and new all contribute to Barcelona's heralded cuisine. Here, in the capital of Catalonia, a city hugged by mountains and cooled by the Mediterranean, locals shop for food at the famed La Boqueria market and dine in some of Europe's most talked-about restaurants. They sip the region's fine wines, seek out artisanal cheeses from mountain villages, and hold fiestas honoring everything from salt cod to spring onions. Add to this appealing culinary portrait an urban landscape rich in art and architecture and a people who embrace outside influences, and you will understand why today Barcelona and its table deliver an enviable balance between tradition and change.
