Food from Catalonia
Catalan Cuisine by Colman Andrews is a definitive exploration of the food, wine and culture of Catalonia and its surrounding regions. First published in 1997, this 352-page paperback offers readers an in-depth journey into one of Spain’s most distinctive culinary traditions.
Catalonia, situated in Spain’s north-east corner and centred on Barcelona, has a cuisine shaped by its French, Roman and Moorish influences. Andrews traces these roots while highlighting modern interpretations that define the region today. The book also considers Catalonia’s culinary reach across Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Andorra, the French region of Roussillon and even a Catalan-speaking enclave in Sardinia.
Blending history, recipes and food writing, Catalan Cuisine is both a cookbook and cultural study. It appeals equally to home cooks, food enthusiasts and anyone interested in Mediterranean gastronomy, offering insight into the traditions that continue to inspire chefs worldwide.
