Its development over the centuries has led to an incredibly diverse wealth of regional traditions, dialects, music… and food! Ask for Spain’s finest dish and the proud Madrileños are sure to boast about their classic cocido. Repeat the question further north, in Asturias, and locals will go on for ages about the region’s fabada. Head to the Mediterranean, and the Valencianos cannot say enough about their world-famous paella. But how does one decide which dish is best? With the help of Paradores’ luxury and historic hotels, of course! Thanks to their great locations in every corner of the country, making your holiday in Spain a gastronomic expedition is an easy feat! Cocido madrileño and fabada asturiana Madrid’s most famous dish is cocido madrileño, a traditional chickpea-based stew prepared with meat and vegetables. Cocido is always served separately, with the meal’s three servings dished out from a great pot. The first serving is the soup, with stock as the main element. Later, the chickpeas and vegetables are served. Finally, the tender meat –pork belly, chorizo, black pudding and chicken– is dished out. Despite the hearty content, cocido is a dish enjoyed year round. Head to Parador Alcalá de Henares to sample this delectable classic.

This rich bean stew will keep you warm and in great spirits as you enjoy it with some local cider or red wine. Dried white beans after being soaked overnight, bacon or pork shoulder, black pudding, chorizo and saffron are the basic elements that make up the traditional dish, beloved throughout the country.

While foreigners will refer to it as a “Spanish dish”, Valencianos will be quick to point out that it is very much their regional standard. A trip to Parador El Saler will clear any doubt you have about this matter, as it is located in the birthplace of paella: try out some authentic Valencian paella –made with rabbit, chicken, duck and land snails– while you’re here.

The less we cook or eat in a decent way, the more we are concerned with the meaning and strategies of cooking, the authenticity of recipes and their normative grammar. Food, the most accessible threshold of culture (La Cecla 1997 ), is ubiquitous in television series and programmes, fi lms (Saillard 2010 ), magazines, newspaper articles and novels (Biasin 1991 ; Ott 2011 ), as well as in recent and very popular detective stories. Commissario Montalbano, created by Andrea Camilleri, makes a point of praising the true Sicilian cooking of his housekeeper while despising the cuisine from distant, albeit Mediterranean, Liguria as prepared by his fi anc é e. The hero of Petros Markaris’s detective novels, Inspector Costas Charitos, a Rum – that is, a Greek born in Istanbul – explores contact zones and frictions between the often overlapping cuisines of the two communities. The detective created by Manuel V á squez Mont á lban constantly describes local and national dishes from his country in vivid detail, and mirrors the tension between local, Catalan and national cuisine. Why should this be so if these attitudes did not speak immediately to everyone? In every culture, “foodways constitute an organized system, a language that – through its structure and components – conveys meaning and contributes to the organization of the natural and social world” (Counihan 1999 , 19).

  • A Dinner of 16Th Century Spain
    A Dinner of 16th Century Spain by Senhora Rafaella d’Allemtejo, GdS An Tir Kingdom Arts & Sciences Championship March A.S. XXXVI (2002) A Dinner of 16th Century Spain by Senhora Rafaella d’Allemtejo, GdS An Tir Kingdom Arts & Sciences Championship March A.S. XXXVI (2002) Overview A recent English translation of Ruperto de Nola’s 1520 Libre del Coch intrigued me. As a student of Iberian culture, I envisioned a small dinner party (6-8 people), perhaps noble couples gathering at their evening meal. What might they eat? How would it be prepared? I set out to conquer the translated yet unredacted recipes of this cookbook. The life of this particular cookbook is somewhat convoluted. The translator explains in her introduction: “The Libre del Coch was published in 1520 in Barcelona. It was written in Catalan -- a language related to, but distinct from, Spanish. The author, listed only as "Maestre Robert", identified himself as the cook to Ferrando (or Fernando), King of Naples. The book was extremely successful. It was republished four more times in Catalan, and ten times in Spanish, and 55 of its recipes were plagiarized by Diego Granado for his 1599 cookbook. The first Spanish edition, in 1525, entitled Libro de Cozina, called the author Ruperto de Nola. He has been referred to by that name ever since. The author's identity and nationality are still matters of speculation. He may well have been Catalan, since he wrote in that language. If "Nola" was truly his surname, he may have been an Italian, from the city of Nola in the province of Naples.

The other part will be practical, and will consist in cooking a series of recipes that belong to the Spanish cuisine, tradition, and culture. Preliminaries What is food? What is cooking? Introduction to the geographical diversity of Spain and some of its unique culinary traditions and habits. Mesopotamia: The oldest cuisine. 1) Visitors and Invaders. 2) Spices from the “East.” 3) From Roncesvalles to Santiago: Eating and cooking along “El Camino de Santiago.” 4) The “Revolution” came from the West: The colonial influence. 5) The first American cuisines. 6) La Mancha: cooking and eating in Don Quixote 7) Ss XVI-XXI “from a national/castizo cooking to a global cuisine.” Sacred Foods 1) Olive oil (cata/oil tasting) 2) Wine: Vine, Vineyards and Wine, from the Altars to the temples of gastronomy.

  • Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada
    Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada Beyond the magnificent Moorish Alhambra, visitors will find a distinctive cuisine and a charming city that was once home to celebrated writers and artists. Like Agra, India, and the Taj Mahal, the Andalusian city of Granada in southern Spain is so well known for a single monument—the Alhambra, a walled fortress housing magnificent 13th- to 15th-century Moorish palaces and gardens—that the city itself is sometimes overlooked. With more than two million visitors descending on the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site, every year, the city’s tourism industry had settled into a somewhat formulaic routine of shuttling visitors in and out of the city in about 24 hours. But recently, some other ancient structures have been restored, and the region’s distinc- tive gastronomy has come into its own. The city that was home to the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter José Guerrero, and the composer Manuel de Falla has deep cultural roots, but now a new crop of small foundations and independent exhibition spaces has revived its arty buzz. Let the Alhambra wait a bit while getting seduced by the city that has grown up around it. Andrew Ferren New York Times (August 10, 2017) Granada seems to specialize in evocative history and good liv- ing. Settle down in the old center and explore monuments of the Moorish civilization and its conquest. Taste the treats of a North African-flavored culture that survives here today.

  • CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS . . . His Gastronomic Persona
    CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS . His Gastronomic Persona By Lucio Sorré BACKROUND As a wine person, ergo a food person (as wine and food are intimately related) afflicted by Columbus quincentennial fever, inquisitiveness prompted a look at what the Admiral of the Ocean Sea and his crews ate during the four voyages to the New World. The first logical source of information was his diary. It provided the scantiest of information. He wrote that two main meals were served daily, cooked on wood fires set in sand boxes. In addition, at the beginning of his third voyage to the New World, he noted that they stopped in Gomera, Canary Islands where "we stocked up on cheeses of which there is a good deal of good quality." Attention was then turned to the books written by Gianni Granzotto as well as Samuel Eliot Morison, his indefatigable and lucid biographer. Granzotto cast a light on the Admiral's family life and overall behavior while Morison carefully recorded life aboard the caravels, listed the victuals supplied to them, the daily dietary routine (or perhaps we ought to say the gobbling and swilling routine). No recipes, however. A check of food historians' literature only highlights Columbus' and other explorers' agricultural contributions to the larders of the old world with yams, potatoes, pineapple, peppers, cocoa, vanilla, papaya, squash, corn, tomatoes and the turkey, a bird unknown to Europe and Asia. It was not a one-way street, as the Old World rapidly introduced sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, olive and walnut trees, wheat, rice, cinnamon, cloves, peaches, apricots and oranges.

Non minore attenzione e passione nutriamo per l’intrigante PORTOGALLO, Paese neolatino affacciato sull’Atlantico. Ai viaggiatori (turisti? No grazie) suggeriamo il PACIFICO, che non è Un Oceano, ma L’Oceano. Siamo un tour operator specializzato, adesso è di moda dire “di nicchia”. Per questo non disponiamo di “venditori” (ormai il vero “venditore” è il programma leggibile nel sito, arriva ovunque e non disturba), non vendiamo attraverso consorzi, net o gruppi d’acquisto (contiamo sulla professionalità delle agenzie che antepongono la qualità di un viaggio a una overcommission imposta dagli ordini di scuderia), non “facciamo pubblicità” (ci pensano già i programmi), non abbiamo bisogno di comprare nomi e know how scomparsi (li abbiamo già).
