Spanish Made Simple: Foolproof Spanish Recipes for Every Day Hardcover – May 2, 2017

by Omar Allibhoy (Author), Martin Poole (Photographer)
4.6 out of 5 stars 262 ratings
Spanish food has never been more popular or more influential, from the city of San Sebastian in northern Spain which counts a massive 16 Michelin stars to the markets of Madrid and ubiquitous tapas bars. It's also incredibly easy to make at home. In Spanish Made Simple, Omar Allibhoy, the man behind the Tapas Revolution chain of restaurants in the UK, guides you through the basics of 100 key Spanish dishes. All of the ingredients are available from grocery stores and you don't need to be an expert cook.

Spanish cooking is characterized by deep flavors, vibrant color, and minimal ingredients - so you will learn to make a paella that packs a punch, cook up a tapas feast for friends, and even whip up a delectable Spanish dessert in minutes.

Sunny and delicious, informal and everyday, Spanish food is for everyone, from skilled chefs to complete beginners, and Omar shows you how.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading premise...
    Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    While I can't deny that it's a well-written cookbook that has a lot of Spanish food in it, I am disappointed in this book based on its premise. This book is marketed as a cookbook for those who want to cook Spanish food everyday or in their weekday repertoire. It is catered to people who live outside of Spain and desire to infuse their daily food life with some Spanish culture. There are other books about food cultures that achieve this goal beautifully (Ricky Bayless' Everyday Mexican is a wonderful example of this.)

    I looked at every recipe in this book, and many are good. What disheartens me is that many of the recipes require specific ingredients that must be custom ordered, found in a farmer's market or big city international grocery story, and thus are out of reach for me, as a live in the country and don't have access to a lot of the ingredients listed. Sure, I could order them here, but that is another complication in my grocery budget. There are no recommendations for substitute ingredients based on the consumer''s life nor are there twists that one can apply to the dish to change it up (see Ricky Bayless' book I mentioned.)

    All that aside, there are numerous recipes in here that take over 3 hours to cook. Yo man! Look at the title of your own book. It's called Spanish Made Simple. What about 3 hours is simple and who is your intended target audience that they would even have three hours in the middle of the week to put together these dishes? That is unreasonable.

    If Spanish food is your passion and you want more recipes, then sure, buy the book. There are better ones out there, such as Penelope Casas' Food and Wines of Spain (considered the Julia Child book for Spanish cooking) and one pot Spanish (same author). I wanted to love this book. I really did. It just doesn't serve my needs the way the title made me think it would.

    I am a fan of Omar's restaurant in Shoreditch and I have used his previous book a lot. I liked it so much that I bought it as a gift for some friends birthdays. This book looks much better than the first one yet the recipes are the same style, comforting everyday type of dishes as well as some other more eventful for the weekends. It has plenty of the type of recipes that my mother back in Spain would cook. He explains the recipes in a way that you don't get lost and are easy to follow. Nothing in this book seems inaccessible or made with ingredients which are difficult to find. I think his ethos is just that, food that you can rustle up from ingredients from the supermarket without to much hassle. I highly recommend this cookbook.
