Dinnertime, reinvented: A cookbook that celebrates Spanish cooking—but in a distinctly American way—filled with accessible weeknight recipes that the whole family will love. From the James Beard–nominated chef and star of the Magnolia Network’s From The Source.
“Katie, like me, has a foot in both America and Spain. In this book, she shares new, unique dishes that don’t just prove her mastery of both cuisines, but also the joy she finds in feeding her beautiful family.” —José AndrésChef Katie Button was raised on American classics: meatloaf, creamed corn, chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven. But when she began cooking professionally, it was the food of Spain that really fired her imagination. Now, as the chef and co-founder of Cúrate Bar de Tapas—one of the most acclaimed Spanish restaurants in the country—and the mother of two half-Spanish children, she brings together these two culinary cultures in one delectable collection of family friendly recipes.
Drawing inspiration from the Spanish pantry, Button transforms old standbys into something new and exciting, giving you the best of both worlds. These are simple, approachable dishes for everyday cooking; sure-to-be-future-favorites like meatloaf with pinenuts (and secret anchovies!), kale salad with Mojo Verde vinaigrette, and smashburgers zhuged up with smoked paprika and aioli.
