Laden with garlic, olive oil, and exotic spices like saffron, Spanish cuisine is seductive, passionate and utterly delicious. Say hola! to a new way of cooking -- and eating -- in this stylish new cookbook from popular chef, Jane Lawson.

* For years, the cuisines of France and Italy have stolen the spotlight from their Mediterranean neighbor, Spain. At last, the rest of the world is discovering what Spaniards from Madrid to Seville have savored for centuries.

* Spanish Kitchen is author Lawson's personal celebration of Spain's growing reputation as the new center of innovative cuisine in Europe.

* From Tasca (small plates to share) and Cocina (main meals) to Postres (desserts), Lawson has artfully reinvented traditional Spanish dishes with modern flair.

* The food of Spain is meant to be shared. Nibble a tortilla Espanola, savoring its decadent layers of potato; plunge into saffron-scented paella, brimming with seafood and sausage; and dip your spoon into a creamy flan with a friend.

* This delectable cookbook is filled with evocative photography and plenty of easy-to-follow recipes sure to inspire home cooks and travelers everywhere.
