Andalucía ha sido secular anfitriona de culturas, crisol que ha sabido recoger los dones efímeros de sus productos y técnicas para hacerlos fundir en el noble arte de una gastonomía plena de sabor. Riqueza de mares, que se complementa con la feracidad de sus huertos. Deleite puro de los sentidos, que atrapa recuerdos y despierta toda clase de emociones. Cocina universal, patrimonio de una culinaria que rezuma historia por doquier. Este libro es un ntrañable recorrido por la cocina andaluza más tradicional, en el que se saborean los 30 platos más típicos de la comunidad y se toma contacto, a través de interesantes referencias históricas y culturales, con el carácter y las costumbres de sus gentes y su peculiar modo de entender la gastronomía. Todo ello acompañado de sugerentes fotografías a color.

En la Cocina andaluza se han recopilado las mejores recetas de Andalucía, que por su parte Flore García ha cocinado con amor y la poesía que pone en cualquiera de sus platos, haciendo de este arte casi una liturgia para quien tiene un buen comer o un buen yantar.

Discover a fascinating region in Southern Spain that offers the most tantalizing food, through 75 authentic recipes, written with expertise and using authentic ingredients. Andalucia is the largest region of Spain and has a food tradition that is rich in shades from the past: Moorish, Christian, and Jewish influences prevail. Following decades, if not centuries, in which the local food accepted prejudice from outsiders, any change or innovation was inhibited; but now a fascinating revival is taking place everywhere in Andalucia, as in the rest of Spain. This is supported by the array of amazing ingredients from land and sea, by memories and aromas from the past, and by current innovation by Spanish chefs. La Cocina Andalucia has become even more attractive, improved without losing any of its character and taste. As delicious as they can be, there is much more to Andalucian food than tapas and much more than a brilliant gazpacho de verano. This selection of truly authentic recipes have been developed by Maria Jose Sevilla during time spent in her house in Aracena near Seville. Each recipe will be accompanied by short histories relating to the character of a chosen locality, a particular dish or equally important, the people that grow and prepare the food. It would not be a book about the food loved by the Andalucians without including some local ingredients and regional specialties such as Iberico Hams from Huelva, olive oils from Cordoba or Jaen, olives from Seville, or Sherry vinegar, sea salt and shrimp in Cadiz.

La cocina popular andaluza puede dividirse en tres grandes grupos: la cocina marinera, la cocina campesina de labrantío y la cocina de montaña o de ganadería. Cocinas, todas ellas, que es imposible reducir a una sencilla descripción de identidad pues todas están (y estuvieron) sometidas a influencias de comarcas, regiones y Comunidades Autónomas próximas. Infinita es la lista de los platos más característicos y populares de cada zona, porque Andalucía es mucho más que pescaíto frito, gazpachos y gazpachuelos, moragas de sardinas, bienmesabe en sobrehúsa, caldillo e perros, salmorejo, tortilla de Sacromonte, migas, conejo con gurullos, andrajos de Úbeda, langostinos de Huelva, urta en salsa o pestiños, polvorones y piononos de Santa Fe. Excelentes productos del mar y de la tierra nos ofrecen una gastronomía rica, variada y llena de sabor.
