Well, the kitchen fairy has brought along the secrets of the pot-smacking Spanish cuisine just for you. In Southwest Europe, Spain is encased by the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and Gibraltar, with its continental European territory the Iberian Peninsula. Its capital and largest city is Madrid. Spain has a diverse mixture of cultures dating back thousands of years to Iberian, Celtiberians, Vascones, Occitan, Turdetani, Roman, and Celt people. These cultures have an extensive influence on present-day cooking. Spain celebrates numerous festivals throughout the year, and its palate-pleasing cuisine is always a part of the celebrations. Spanish cuisine has an extensive history and is born from differences in climate, culture, and geographical aspects. It is influenced by its shoreline as seafood is a huge part of its mouthwatering dishes. The coastal regions are known for their exquisite seafood dishes that consist of a variety of soups, fried fish, and rice dishes such as Paella. The inlands of Spain are known for their cuisine, which consists of garlic, thick soups, stews, cheeses, bread, and traditional Spanish ham. The Northern coast of Spain or Atlantic Spain is famous for Asturian, Cantabrian, Galician, and Basque cuisine. These dishes include fish and vegetable stews, cured ham, and shellfish dishes. 1) Authentic Savoury Paella from the shores of Spain A 60-minute private cooking and shopping session with Professional Local Chef Josh Weitzer Are you looking for a perfect date night to impress your other half?
