Ensalada Rusa
Boiled potatoes, carrots, and peas folded into tuna, egg, and mayonnaise. The tapas-bar classic that turns into the easiest potluck dish you will bring all summer.
Shakshuka
Eggs poached in a spiced, garlicky tomato and pepper sauce. One pan, thirty minutes, and a dinner that looks far more deliberate than it is.
Belgian Waffles
Belgian waffles have deeper pockets and a lighter, crispier texture than American waffles — achieved by one extra step: separated eggs with beaten whites folded into the batter at the end.
Pisto Recipe
Spain's slow-cooked vegetable stew — each vegetable given its own time in the pan before they come together in a deeply reduced tomato base. Rich, versatile, and better the next day.

Bizcocho Recipe
A moist, tender Spanish sponge cake built on yogurt and olive oil instead of butter. No stand mixer, no creaming, no fuss — just a bowl, a whisk, and something worth making every week. Bizcocho (bee-SKOH-choh) is one of the most practical cakes in the Spanish home kitchen. It appears in countless regional variations but […]
Gambas al Ajillo Recipe
Garlic shrimp in 10 minutes. Tastes like you tried much harder than you did. The dish that makes people think you can cook — and they'd be right.
Pan con Tomate Recipe
Five minutes. Four ingredients. The most satisfying thing you can make with bread and a tomato. This is where Old World cooking starts — and once you've had it done right, you'll understand why Spain has been eating it for centuries.
