Spain My Way

A lively, authoritative collection of José Andrés’s most beloved recipes from his home country—and the stories of the people and places behind them Although renowned chef José Andrés has made the United States his home, his roots in Spain run deep: It’s where he grew up and now spends summers with family and friends. It’s also where some of the best ingredients and most fascinating culinary techniques are celebrated every day, and as he says, it’s “where I learned to cook, learned to eat, and most importantly, learned to love food.” This vibrant, exciting collection of recipes bears José’s unique mark and proudly represents a culture where life is centered around the table. While it is impossible to capture all the richness and variety of this culture, Spain My Way showcases Spanish cooking in José’s signature style—not only the cornerstones of the cuisine but also his own favorite recipes, whether from his home kitchen, at his restaurants, or across Spain, enjoyed while eating with chefs and friends. Spain My Way, written withChapple-Sokol, is a vivid exploration of how Spaniards cook and eat, from one of the country’s most beloved sons. José Andrés is a Michelin-starred chef, an Emmy Award–winning TV host and producer, and the New York Times bestselling author of Change the Recipe, Zaytinya, Vegetables Unleashed, and The World Central Kitchen Cookbook. A pioneer of Spanish tapas in America and a celebrated ambassador of Spanish cooking (and a co-creator of the paella emoji), he leads the renowned José Andrés Group, which operates more than forty restaurants across the United States and beyond. Andrés is the founder of the nonprofit World Central Kitchen and has been honored as Outstanding Chef and Humanitarian of the Year by the James Beard Foundation. He has twice been named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People and has been awarded both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Princess of Asturias Award for Concord, one of Spain’s highest honors.
