Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie

La Cocina Andaluza: The Flavor of Flamenco (3x13)

Air date: Apr 18, 2009

Travel to the southernmost part of Spain—Andalucía, the land of flamenco and bullfighting. Visit the home of a family of flamenco musicians as they prepare classic Gypsy dishes. Meet a local farmer who is committed to producing jamón ibérico in the time-consuming traditional way because he considers its unique flavor a miracle. Learn the history of gazpacho, one of Andalucía’s most well-known delicacies and meet a chef who puts an avant-garde twist on the chilled soup. And in the Gourmet test kitchen, editor in chief Ruth Reichl shares a quick and easy way to make paella at home.
