Fish dishes include smoked eel and squid ink paella; tuna, peppers, Manzanilla and tomato stew; and clams with Salsa Verde. Meat dishes include a chicken and chorizo skewer with Dillisk crispy onions and truffle mayonnaise; charred pork ribs with chillies and tomatoes; and a rack of lamb with chicory and piquillo pepper sauce.

The book also includes an in-depth introduction to Spanish wines to perfectly complement the recipes, with a focus on natural, organic and biodynamic wines.
