It has been enriched by Spanish climate, geology, and spectacular topography, which have encouraged a variety of regional food traditions and \"Cocinas,\" such as Basque, Galician, Castilian, Andalusian, and Catalan. It has been shaped by the country's complex history, as foreign occupations brought religious and cultural influences that determined what people ate and still eat. And it has continually evolved with the arrival of new ideas and foodstuffs from Italy, France, and the Americas, including cocoa, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, and chili peppers. Having become a powerhouse of creativity and innovation in recent decades, Spanish cuisine has placed itself among the best in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the first book in English to trace the history of the food of Spain from antiquity to the present day.
