In Praise of Spanish Cooking and an encounter with three celebrity chefs

from Spanish Practices – Living in Spain: Real Life, Real Spain · host John Metson

In this episode of Spanish Practices, I explore how authentic Spanish cooking really is when it passes through the hands of celebrity chefs. From Keith Floyd's unexpected take on Gambas al Ajillo, to Mary Berry's "Smoky Spanish Hot Pot," and Jamie Oliver's version of Crema Catalana, I compare their recipes with the real flavours of Spain. Along the way, I share some behind-the-scenes encounters, a few culinary surprises, and what these dishes should actually taste like in a Spanish kitchen. If you love Spanish food, tapas, and the truth behind "authentic" recipes, this episode is for you.
