Seven programmes on the food of the Mediterranean, introduced and narrated by Claudia Roden 4: Spain
If you've ventured beyond the package-holiday resorts you'll know that Spanish cooking is a gastronomic revelation. From Catalunya, with its sophisticated rich dishes of seafood, meat and pulses, to the sun-drenched hills of Andalusia, where the dominant flavours are peppers and tomatoes.
Forget the paella, gazpacho or tortilla you've ever tasted - the authentic versions are unforgettable, especially when they're done on a wood fire in the open air. Five Spanish cooks demonstrate simple snacks and sumptuous feasts, with some of the most luscious
