    Spanish Cuisine For Everyone - Juan Mantilla

    You always heard Spanish food is good and healthy, but you never had time to try cooking it or others said it’s expensive. Did this sound familiar to you?

    Sure, some ingredients are more expensive than your usual burger and fries, and some others may be a bit more difficult to find than bread and a tuna can, but, if you keep expending uncountable sums of money on feeding you car, why not invest a few of those bucks in your own health and pleasure?

    Now you think, hey, this guy is Spanish, he was born knowing how to cook anything. Want to know a secret? I wasn’t. For most of my younger years, I was the average teenager, and didn’t care much about food, besides eating it. You know, at that age, milk comes from the fridge, not the cow, and every piece of food you eat comes from mom, who cooks incredibly well. Some time later, when I had to live on my own, on quite a tight budget, I had to choose between the easy option (cooked meals and pizza) and the harder but definitely cheaper (of course, cooking myself)

    I’m not and will never be an award-winning chef, but I can cook quite some foods, some of them even without having to keep the recipe book near. Cooking is not that hard and is also very relaxing and even fun. And if you’re male, cooking doesn’t make you less masculine. You wouldn’t believe how many women think men who cook are quite sexy. Well, my wife sure does.

    In the following pages, you’ll find some (exactly 51) of the most famous and important Spanish recipes, along with their history. I hope you have fun cooking, just as I do.
