Monika Linton deserves a medal from the Spanish Tourist Board, the Spanish Restaurant Association and Spanish Food Producers. Reading this book makes you want to drop everything and race for Spain to experience the flavour, colour and off the beaten track wonders there are to be found. Within the rather plain cover you will find a passionate advocate for Spanish food sharing her delight, discoveries and recipes. Monika Linton is a natural food writer and enthusiast, writing to encourage readers to discover this still mostly unspoilt cuisine, generously shares the treasured recipes she's collected – and been given over the years. It's not all paella and there's also much more to Spanish food than Tapas as you will find in this book of delights. ~ Sue Baker

About Monika Linton
When Brindisa was founded by Monika Linton in 1988, knowledge of Spanish gastronomy was almost non-existent in the UK. Starting with a conviction that the foods she loved in Spain deserved to find a wider audience, Monika launched her company on a shoestring. Twenty-eight years later, Brindisa is a hugely respected brand and well-known wholesaler of Spanish artisan foods, importing the most extensive range of high quality Spanish foods to Britain.
