Introduction

I won’t be focusing on the storyline of Money Heist. After all, you know that there is no way we can describe it like this. You need to see the whole story, focused and on the edge in order to understand their game. What we will focus on how it’s the food they eat and actually Spanish recipes that you can prepare and eat while watching the series. Spanish cuisine is rich, it has so many delicious delicacies that many people enjoy around the world. In fact, I have seen so many similar dishes in other cultures that came from the Spanish recipes. I like how huge influence has been made in the culinary world because they truly have a lot of mouthwatering dishes to share. The best part about these recipes is that they are super easy to make and don’t require some hard-to-find ingredients, in fact, many of them you probably have at home. Just make sure that you have everything you need before starting the recipe, you don’t want to experiment and substitute one ingredient for another. This won’t give the real taste and you might end up with something entirely different. So, start cooking and you will see that not only you will fell in love with the food but everyone to who you will serve it.
