apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

stuffed piquillo peppers... I could eat them every day.

Paella Yum!

I love paella.

any tapa

I've always wanted to learn more about Spanish cooking after meeting a man from the Basque region at a conference. He praised his country's healthy and delicious cuisine. And you will need this grater to garnish with fresh cheese!

Paella

paella

The tapa at a local restaurant that has a tomato sauce and cheese as a sauce with bread to dip in. Soooo, good. I think I need to learn to make that, for sure.

Or paella. Everyone loves paella.

When my fiance and I were in Spain we went to this small little restaurant that had the classic fried potatoes con aoili (mmm), fried sardines (double mmm), and spanish tortilla (ahh!). But my favorite were the little olive oil poached octopus with a very rough parsley pesto thrown over at the end. SOOO freaking good. Then again, I am never one to turn up my nose at the pepper salads and manchegos. Ah, and quince paste too! Ok, I like it all. Give my Spanish food and see me smile. :)

paella...who doesn't love paella?

I have the best receipe for enchiladas!

Paella - because its delicious AND because its the only Spanish dish that I know how to cook. Maybe this cookbook will inspire me.....

are empanadas spanish? I obviously need the education of what is spanish food and not mexican.

empanadas, yum!

Paella ... with chicken or seafood.

At the risk of being repetitive, I love paella. And any salty, savory tapas.

I love cutting.

Any type of garlicky tapas!!

Definitely Spanish tortilla

Tortilla de Patatas and always flan!

sign me up

another tortilla de patatas fan, though mine never turns out right.

An ex turned me onto a wonderful recipie for Mexican Roast Pork Shoulder in an old issue of Gourmet. I've been using it for feeding groups on special occasions ever since. Cheap and yummy!

I'm fond of paella, but the recipe I most often recreate from our local tapas place is bacon-wrapped dates!

i know a lot more about portuguese cooking than spanish, but I'm sure they eat octopus with raw garlic and hot sauce all over the iberian penninsula, and that's what I'll be eating on christmas eve. mmm.

Seafood paella does the trick for me every time.

tapas, olives, and manchego.

jamon

enchiladas! YUMMY

Mariscada rich garlicky seafoodie wonderfullness!

I second rjb: olives and manchego!

Paella is pretty good, but I think I'd be happiest with an all Spanish cheese and meats plate.. Serrano ham, a quality Chorizo, artisan Manchego, Serena, Ibores, Pata de Cabra, Leonora, and Valdeon, mixed olives, and an olive oil torta.. YUM.

Mmmm... my favorite is flan!

Romesco sauce. It's good on anything - veggies, seafood, bread, meat, potatos.

I love churros dipped in melted chocolate- yum!

love paella!!! yum!

I want to learn to make better tapas.

Without a doubt, Paella!

For me, probably garlic soup with chorizo and toasted peasant bread, but I'd never refuse ham, cheese, or olives.

a assortment of tapas, especially olives and garlicky shrimp

Paella for sure!

Flan, of course. And my own personal recipe has created many flan-lovers.

Paella of course, but I also love fried calamari & the mayo-like potato tapa plate.

chorizo - preferably palacios - in any way shape or form.

Its go to be Empanadas all different flavors

Paella

enchiladas! I can never get enough of them!

Bring on the tapas recipes!

Any tapas is a good tapas.

i don;t know much about spanish cooking, but i love to make and eat torta

Chorizo!

Do drinks count??? Spanish Sangria! :)

Gazpacho is my favorite!

Enchiladas!! Yummy comfort food.

spanish style mussels...had them at a tapas place

A simple tapa - bread with a piece of chocolate and olive oil drizzled on top, run under the broiler until the chocolate is soft and warm, with a bit of coarse sea salt sprinkled on in the end.

paella!

cuban pork and tapioca

chorizo, anything with manchego, and wine!

Oh, I love tapas plates! Almonds and olives, little tidbits of chorizo, chicken in sherry sauce, garlic mushrooms... mmm!

churros y chocalate

I'd say paella, but I've never actually had it. I love Spanish tortas, though!

just the simple tomato bread
so good

I just realized I know nothing about Spanish food. I guess that's what I get for taking German in high school.

But now I feel that must be rectified.

Tapas of all kinds, especially the very garlicky shrimp.

Lactose intolerant as I may be, soy un sucker for flan.

My favourite Spanish dish are those braised chickpeas and spinach thickened with bread. Yum!!

tortilla de patatas, of course!

tapas and watch your fingers

it looks like the grater has a finger guard - hooray for staying intact!

I love flan and need more recipes to try...

pozole

Tapas! Any kind of tapas, really, but one I've had and loved was little chorizo sausages that had been grilled. YUM.

I love paella and tamales.

chicken mole!

Oh I covet the grater. I know nothing about spanish food, but I'd love to learn. Don't believe I've ever had a Spanish empanada, but I have had Mexican, Argentinian, Chilean, Peruvian, Panamanian, and Filipino, and I can truly say I never met an empanada I didn't love.

I make a killer Spanish soup with tomatoes, chicken and loads of black olives. Yummy

Tapas.

Cheese and onion enchilada.

Everything yummy!!!

Tapas- and I want to know how to cure olives!

I love Tapas!

Gazpacho

I believe someone already mentioned my favorites, the tapas dish of fried potatoes and aioli.

mmm seafood paella, definitely..
Now I'm drooling.

Paella

Spanish tortilla!

Paella, though it's hard to find a good one in LA.

garlic shrimp with bread!

I just visited Spain for the first time this fall... and loved it! Being a vegetarian who does not eat fish or seafood the menus were a little limiting but everything that I ate was great. My favorite, go-to entree ended up being the bocadillo de tortilla. So simple but so satisfying. Another new thing that I fell in love with was the fried padron peppers. Where will I ever get these in Wisconsin?

Tapas!

I love tapas...almost any variation...fun to make and yummy to eat! & i too absolutely covet that grater....as a cheese obsessed person I could use that near daily :)

jamon and manchego

mmm Flan...

manchego, manchego, manchego and anything I can make with it!

Music to my ears: sangria, chorizo, manchego.

I love empanadas!

I'm with SMM: my gazpacho (which includes a few green New Mexico chiles)

every visiting kitchen helper complains about my grater....
it would help in making Gazpacho - my favorite

gazpacho

paella with flan for dessert

I hate to be redundant but paella is too delicious not to be named.

I love paella, but I really love all sorts of tapas like chorizo puffs, spanish cheeses, and empanadas! This is making me hungry!

Good old-fashioned nachos and cheese! OK, I'm boring...lol

Paella!

Tapas, and my current grater is awful. Yay!

Enchiladas, is one of my favorite, totillas, many others I just do not know the names. I like spanish dishes. would love to win the contest also, thanks.

My favorite Spanish dish is one that I had in Barcelona on my "luna de miel" this spring. It involved a piece of crusty bread , toasted lightly, topped with a piece of extroadinary chocolate, olive oil and sea salt. the chocolate gets melty, and the salt and olive oil come together for my favorite savory/sweet desert. like a s'more, only better! I believe it was called "pan de xocolate."

patatas con alioli... mmmmm!

all tapas all the time

has to be paella.

not Spanish, but I have to plug the new Basque tapas restaurant in Philly, Tinto - OMG this place is good. Just give these people their own country already! Check out the website.

although Paella does sound good and warm this time of year, I'm already missing cukes and tomatoes, so I'll go with gazpacho!

i can't think of my favorite but i'm sure i would have plenty of new favorites if i won this cookbook!

I have a stuffed pepper recipe that I like real well

I love tortilla de patates, and this grater would be great for grating all the potatoes!

I'm not familiar with Spanish cuisine....what better reason for awarding me the prize?

Paella, for sure!

guacamole

Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with almonds and goat cheese! A girl's gotta love bacon...

I love, love,love homemade empanadas! Great Giveaway!

My husband and I had the most amazing seafood paella along the Mediterranean on our honeymoon in Barcelona three years ago. Fantástica!

i dont know what paella is but everyone thinks its great! I would grate cheese personally for lots of casseroles! enchiladas, meatball casserole,meat casserole,fajitas!!! MMMM

tapas

Mmm, spanish omelet. That and cheese sandwiches were what I ate every day when I was there and pregnant.

Tapas tapas and more tapas

I hear good things about paella

When we went to Italy last year I learned how to slice vegetables in strips, raw, and serve with balsamic vinegar, and maybe pinenuts - this grater/slicer would make perfect starters and salads.

I have the old-style, metal grater. You know, the kind you scrape your knuckles across when grating anything?! I'd appreciate a new, updated one!

I want to be able to grate something that doesn't include my knuckles - nifty nifty!

I'm trying to learn how to cook to surprise my boyfriend for the holidays (he's the chef in our haus...), and I'd love to make paella for him!

I love empanadas and all foods spanish, but definitely need more recipes.

amazing prize...and I LOVE cheese enchiladas.

Tortillas... NOT the mexican corn flats, but the spanish ones: a souffle filled with potatoes and onions, sliced thin and served cold with other sides. Super easy and surprisingly delicious

paella!!!

Ok, like everyone else i would use it for Paella.

i don't have a favorite spanish recipe yet...that's why I need this book!

Please count me in :)

The only Spanish dish I can think of is paella. Meaning, I need this book to expand my culinary horizons!

Chile relleno with lots of cheese!

I have no clue about Spanish food. The bestselling cookbook in Spain for 30 years here could very much help me out.

i love patatas bravas. But also tortilla espanola.

Flan

Paella - Half the fun is making it in the huge pots at festivals.

We love all things Spanish, with tapas at the top of the list.

Tapas, especially chorizo!

Paella!

Chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce

Tortilla is definitely my favorite--though a Spanish friend makes the best apple cake I've ever had. I have no idea if it is a remotely Spanish recipe, though. (Perhaps I could find out using this cookbook!)

A spanish tortilla makes for great comfort food.

Spicy Marinated Manchego and olives...mmmmmm.

Paella. Yummy.

One of my faves when I lived in Spain - Boquerones - deep fried anchovies. Yum yum. And, of course, you can't forget the tortilla de patatas (although I still haven't perfected my recipe).

Another vote for paella.

Have to go with Paella!

Plain old tacos is all I know how to do.

My favorite Spanish dish is Javier Bardem.
