Omar Allibhoy, the man behind the Tapas Revolution restaurants who has worked for both Ferran Adrià and Gordon Ramsay, has released his second book, Spanish Made Simple.
We met with Omar at his first Tapas Revolution outpost at Westfield Shepherds Bush, where he showed us how incredibly easy it is to create authentic Spanish flavours right from your kitchen.
Omar’s philosophy is simple: you can cook without fuss and still eat like a king. “The dishes I grew up with have left an indelible mark on my heart”, says Omar, “my aim is to convince everyone to add some of my favourites to their weekly repertoire at home”.
Spanish Made Simple includes the best recipes for all sorts of occasions, be it quick midweek suppers, easy weekend lunches or long evening gatherings with friends, and hail from every corner of Spain, from the hot Andalucía to the cooler Galicia, passing through historic Castilla and all the Mediterranean coast!
We salivated over the Lemon and honey chicken wings, they were not only delicious but Omar showed us how very easy they are to make, and his homely favourite is the Slow-Cooked Pork Belly with a sweet, spicy and sour sauce. Other dishes to try are the Moorish marinated lamb cutlets, Mushroom gratin with ham mayonnaise and the Seafood paella, finished with lemon and olive oil cookies!
Spanish Made Simple is a journey of discovery through the best tasting and most authentic Spanish dishes, and we can’t wait to cook up a storm at home!
RRP £20, Published by Quadrille on 22nd September 2016
