Located in the northeast of Spain, Catalonia borders France’s Pyrenees mountains and has a
heritage and scenery like no other place in the world. In Catalonia, José Pizarro travels from the
impressive Gaudi architecture in buzzy Barcelona, to the Roman and Greek ruins in Girona and
secluded beaches in Costa Brava to create some of the best-loved dishes from the Catalonian
region at home.
Starting in the markets, José revels in the fresh meat, fish and vegetables, with dishes including
classic Patatas Bravas, a delicious Duck Egg and Mushroom Stew, and a Rabbit Rice, typical of
the region. From a Roast Chicken with Langoustines, Baby Squid with Mint that’s perfect for
spring, to a wintery Civet of Venison with Ceps and Mash, and the delicate Hazelnut and Plum
cakes, José’s interpretation of the regional flavours will inspire you to get into the kitchen.
Set to the backdrop of stunning location photography, Catalonia will make you feel truly
transported to this special region.
