Gourmet Cooking Workshop are thinking to people that want to learn one of the best cooking of the world, and without a doubt Spain is this place.
Some of plates that you could learn from differents Regions:
The Murcia Region:
Delicious rice dishes, there are many and there are those who say that the ones in Murcia are better than the ones of Valencia. They are prepared with chicken, rabbit, mujol (which is a local fish, the roe of which is exquisite and a very common speciality) and all kinds of vegetables. Another delicious rice dish is el arroz al caldero, made with local fish.
The Castile-León Community:
El cochinillo wonderful plate. El cochinillo is almost a new-born pig. To comply with specifications, it must be exactly between fifteen and twenty days old and weigh between three and four kilos. It should be roasted in an oven with thyme and must be tender enough to permit a nimble and spectacular act, ie the cook must be able to knock the meat into portions with the edge of a plate.
The Valencia Community:
We find one of the most universal dishes of the Spanish cuisine la paella, which is a masterpiece of the art of cooking.
The Madrid Community:
La sopa de ajo or garlic soup is made all over Spain, but it is in Madrid where it has found its place of honour in the cuisine as well as efficient propaganda. The regional versions have not lost a certain air of Madrid, ie tasty simplicity. Alexandre Dumas on his visit to Spain was so delighted with this dish that he tried to popularize it in France, where he emphasized its healthy qualities. The truth of the matter is that this soup consists of nothing but bread, garlic, oil and paprika, and all its charm comes from the magic touch of the cook.
