Jose Andres Brings Spanish Cooking to TV in New Special
Made In Spain Live! With Jose Andres is a new special featuring internationally recognized culinary innovator José Andrés, best known for bringing traditional and avant-garde Spanish fare to America. In this special, Andrés talks about his PBS television series Made In Spain and demonstrates Spanish cooking techniques.
“I am excited to show viewers that they can easily cook Spanish dishes at home, using simple American ingredients and genuine Spanish flavors readily available here in the U.S. These are recipes you can make at home for family, friends or yourself. Most of them are quick and require no special cooking techniques or equipment,” says Andrés. “All you need is an appetite to savor the taste of Spain: the spirit, the people and the land that gave birth to my cooking.”
Andrés and Alice Ferris, who joins him in the studio, prepare the following dishes:
- Gazpacho (cold tomato soup)
- Tostada de manchego (tomato toast with manchego cheese)
- Melon y jamon (melon with Spanish cured ham)
- Pintxo gilda (Basque-region tapa of olives and anchovies on a skewer)
- Tostada de la serena y marmalade (toast with la serena cheese and lemon marmalade)
The special also features the following highlights from Andres' Made In Spain series:
- Andrés making paella on the barbecue with his family.
- Andrés making alas de pollo confitadas (chicken wing confit with green olive puree).
- Andrés making postre de turron (an almond nougat dessert).
- Andrés making yogur de sferification con clementinas (a sweet yogurt spherification — a unique technique — with clementines and honey).
- Andrés making fideua con costillas de cerdo y cigalas (noodle paella with short ribs and Norwegian lobsters).
Born in Asturias and raised in Barcelona, Andrés has spent the last 15 years preaching the gospel of pimentón, jamón Ibérico and pan con tomatein the United States. His popular Washington, DC, restaurant, Jaleo, was one of the first critically and commercially successful tapas restaurants in America and continues to set the standard for other Spanish restaurants in the country. Andrés also has been credited with introducing Americans to both traditional and avant-garde Spanish cooking, particularly with his exclusive Washington, DC-based restaurant, minibar by josé andrés, and his top-selling cookbook Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America (Clarkson Potter).
Food & Wine hailed Andrés as the “hero of the Spanish revolution,” who “helped create the Spanish food boom in America.” The late R.W. Apple of The New York Times called him “the boy wonder of culinary Washington.” Already a celebrity in DC, Andrés also is a television star in Spain, where his production Vamos a Cocinar on Televisión Española (TVE) is the country’s most popular cooking program, revolutionizing food television in Spain. Bravo, the cable network of “Top Chef,” recently named him an “A-List Chef.”
