Introduction

Like it or not, we know you probably don’t know much about Spanish cuisine other than tapas and paella, perhaps some wine, but that’s why you’re here, right? With our help, you’ll learn everything you need to know about one of the best cuisines in the world in 25 easy recipes you can make at home for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you’re by yourself or wanting to impress your friends and family, we’re confident these recipes are everything you need to come off as a true international foodie, so let’s get started! The first thing we need you to do, though, forgets about tapas and paella. Sure, they’re nice and all, but everyone’s heard of them. If you want to make an impression, you’ve got to think outside the box and immerse yourself in their cuisine and all of their ingredients. Fortunately, they won’t be hard to find because most grocery stores carry all sorts of spices. You don’t need to start stressing out. We promise we’ve made sure our recipes use the most basic ingredients so that all-level cooks can complete our recipes without the need to splurge at a deli-store for a bunch of expensive ones and imported ingredients. Hence, the “Wannabe” is in the name of this book. We know you’re trying to be a Spaniard, but you may have to substitute a few things here and there, like your bone structure, heritage, and a few spices. But it’s nothing too drastic, right? So, what are we making today? We’d actually like to start the day with some Corn Kernel Patties and a Spanish Panini, please. By lunchtime, we were also hoping to have some Spanish Rice with Sausages. And for dinner, the Beef Casserole with Onions. Oh, and some Milk Rice Pudding for dessert! We know you’re not a restaurant, but we figured you needed to get started somewhere, right? Besides, if we’re not the ones pushing you to cook, who will? Oh, your friends! Did we forget to mention we invited them over for lunch tomorrow? That means you still have a bit of time to practice some of these recipes for when they arrive. You need to impress them because we raved about your cooking skills over the phone. No pressure, and good luck! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
