Spanish Accent

Dinnertime, reinvented: Spanish cooking—but in a distinctly American way—that the whole family will love, from the award-winning 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 Andrés

Chef 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 James Beard–nominated 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.

Think Spiced Seared Salmon with Catalan-Style Spinach, Spanish Adobo Fried Chicken, No Churn Salted Olive Oil Ice Cream and, of course, the Ultimate Spanish Tortilla. 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, accessible 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.

Whether you’re looking to breathe new life into your recipe rotation or to level up your entertaining, Spanish Accent adds a touch of Spanish flair to every meal. Filled with all the expert tips, tricks, and timesaving, flavor-boosting shortcuts you could ever want, it’s a cookbook that celebrates the global way in which we all cook and eat today.
