Story
About this book
First published in Spain decades ago, 1080 Recipes by Simone Ortega and her daughter Inés Ortega has become one of the most widely owned cookbooks in the country. Millions of copies have been sold. The book gathers recipes from every Spanish region, covering appetizers, soups, stews, vegetables, fish, meat, and desserts. Its focus is home cooking rather than restaurant technique, and the recipes serve as a practical reference for daily meals.
This English-language edition was revised and updated for readers outside Spain. Javier Mariscal, a well-known Spanish graphic designer and illustrator, created hundreds of original illustrations for this version, and the book includes specially commissioned photographs. With 1080 individual recipes, the scope extends well beyond the tapas and paella that many associate with Spanish food, taking in dishes from across the country's varied geography.
Because the recipes draw from regions as different as Galicia, Andalusia, Catalonia, and the Basque Country, the collection reflects a wide range of ingredients and cooking traditions. Olive oil, garlic, peppers, and seafood appear frequently, but regional variety means no single set of flavors dominates. The book gives space to both simple weeknight preparations and more involved dishes suited to celebrations.
