No Spanish wine is more famous than Rioja, and José starts with a quick tapa of apples in a red wine syrup. He takes us to a great Rioja winemaker before cooking his own version of the region’s classic dish of potato and chorizo sausage. Back in Spain, he shows us Rioja’s superb vegetable market and eats at a special restaurant run by a mother and son who cook their own recipes.
José introduces us to two famous Catalans: artist Salvador Dali and chef Ferran Adrià.
José cooks a quick tapa of fried eggs and Spanish chorizo before showing us around Madrid.
At home in Asturias, José prepares an apple and cheese salad with Cabrales; hard cider.
