]]>Grape vineyards sprawl in lavish fields across northern Italy, making it the optimal place to drink wine , and eat cheese! There are many delicious wineries to visit that also have restaurants and charcuterie to enjoy! We recommend Cantina Tera di Seta for a delicious culinary and wine tasting experience. However, you truly cannot go wrong with any winery you visit as they are almost all exceptional!
Southern Spain has some beautiful landscapes and views making it an incredible place to sip Sangria Wine on the beach, or sample cheese and meat plates at many of the local eateries. We recommend Bodega Garcia Hidalgo in Malaga for a beautiful experience.
Bordeaux, France is the quintessential wine tasting experience, offering some of the world’s finest wine varieties and charcuterie. We recommend Château Balestard La Tonnelle for some of the riches and well bodied wines in the region, and enahnce the experience with some brie, pears, and figs!

]]>Served across the country, Spanish flan is deceptively simple. A gorgeous mix of sugar, milk and eggs, flan is creamy, sweet and decadent, making it the dessert of choice in cafes and restaurants across Spain. To eat it like a local, order it with a glass of sweet sherry on the side.
Chefs in Spain really know how to make the most of almonds. Whilst they are found in several savory dishes, they really shine in this moist, rich cake. It’s naturally gluten free, a bonus for those looking for gluten free dessert options. With its origins in Northern Spain, traditionally the cake is dusted with icing sugar, with a striking cross symbol left plain in the center of the cake. Enjoy with an espresso in the morning, or a glass of wine at night.
With its origins in Catalonia, this lovely, sweet treat is similar to a crème brûlée. The main ingredients are similar to a Spanish flan, with the addition of cinnamon, and the Crema Catalana is browned on top, giving it a lovely texture. Eat this as a lunchtime dessert, before enjoying a relaxing afternoon lying on a beach or sauntering around the streets of a Spanish town.

]]>Spaniards like dessert and have a huge sweet tooth, meaning that you will find plenty of desserts that you have to try either at Spanish restaurants or in the country itself. Here are three that you cannot miss.
This rice-based dessert combines a sweet, milky sauce that is topped with cinnamon and served cold as a classic option for those with a sweet tooth. This dessert has also become popular in other countries that were once part of the Spanish Empire.
Churros are good, but have you ever tried them dipped in hot chocolate sauce? That is exactly what many Spaniards, especially those who live in Madrid, choose as a tasty, sweet breakfast or afternoon snack.
Spaniards especially love indulging in sweet treats at Christmas Time, and turrón is the most beloved of their sweets and snacks. Made traditionally with almond and honey as its main ingredients, you can also find other varieties like chocolate turrón.

]]>The post Huevos Rotos is a Little-Known Spanish Favorite appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Huevos rotos are a delicacy from Spain that create an absolutely delicious breakfast or lunch out of some potatoes, a couple of fried eggs, and cured ham.
The first thing that you will notice about a plate of huevos rotos is the mountain of fried potatoes that serves as the base of the dish. Typically, you will find either sliced potatoes or chunks of potatoes that are fried in olive oil as a tasty, starchy base.
So, what comes next?
The typical plate of huevos rotos will then contain a couple of fried eggs on top of the potatoes. Done over-easy, when cut, the yolks spill out and soak the potatoes in a juicy flavor explosion that you’ll have to taste to believe.
The final piece of the huevos rotos puzzle? A topping of pieces of Spanish jamon, a cured ham product that adds a meaty, salty cherry on top to this down-home, delightful delicacy.
Would you try huevos rotos?

]]>If you are looking for a new wine variety to pick up the next time you head to the store to buy wine, why not consider these three unique and delicious Spanish wines?
Tempranillo is the star red grape of Spain, being the most-cultivated variety in the acclaimed Spanish region of La Rioja. Full-bodied, yet not overwhelming with its tannins or overly dry, this red wine is great both young and aged, and can be paired with a vast variety of foods.
Do you love white wine and are looking to expand your tastebuds? Albariño is the star white grape of the Rias Baixas production region, which makes some of the country’s best whites. This grape produces dry, light, and citrusy wines that pair fantastically with seafood dishes.
Are you a fan of the bubbly? Cava is Spain’s equivalent to France’s Champagne or Italy’s prosecco, a sparkling white wine which is just as fun to drink as it is to mix with fruit juices and other ingredients to make wine cocktails.

]]>The post These Countries are the World’s Kings of Olive Oil appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Do you know where olive oil comes from? While it might be a common thing to find in kitchens throughout the world, most of us aren’t aware of the places that produce the olive oil that we end up using. Here are the world’s biggest producers.
Spain is the world’s leading olive oil producer, making over a million tons of the gold stuff on a yearly basis. Spain is lucky enough to have a large landmass with a lot of territory that is perfectly suited for the cultivation of olive trees.
Another Mediterranean nation comes in at number two on the list, with Italy producing over 500,000 tons annually. Olive oil has long been a staple of Italian cooking, forming the basis of many a pasta sauce and dip.
Surprise, surprise! Another Mediterranean country, Greece, is #3 on the list despite possessing a relatively small land area. Greece is unique in that nearly all of the country’s landmass and climate is suitable for olive oil production, which is why it gets so much out of its relatively small size.

]]>The post These Are the Best Food Markets in Madrid appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Here are some food markets that you absolutely must visit the next time you find yourself in the Spanish capital.
If you’re looking to go out for tapas, this might be the best place to go in the whole city. Housed in a beautiful early 20th-century space with iron and huge glass windows, you’ll find tapas from all of Spain’s unique regions featured in this market, located in the heart of Madrid.
This market might not be as well-known or cited in city guidebooks, but the Lavapies neighborhood which houses it as well as the market itself is quirky and fun. Here, you’ll find a fun night scene with everything from beer bars to cocktail spots as well as plenty of tasty treats during the daytime.
In Madrid’s LGBT hotspot of Chueca, you’ll find the Mercado de San Anton, a three-level gastronomic behemoth that was re-designed and reopened in 2009 to great fanfare. You’ll find everything from fresh produce to fusion dining concepts here, all under one roof.
