Jun 29, 2008 · 30m
José explores the wonders of Spanish olive oil in Andalucía, joining workers in the field for the olive harvest and a traditional harvest breakfast. Bringing the oil back home, he uses the liquid gold to put a distinctively Spanish twist on a classic American dish—chicken wings. After preparing a classic Andalucían soup, salmorejo, José heads for a freiduria (a fried fish restaurant) in the beautiful area around Seville, where great Spanish olive oil and delicious fish from the nearby Mediterranean combine for astounding fried fish tapas.
E2. The Onion That Would be King: Cataluña
Jul 2, 2008 · 30m
José travels to Cataluña, the region where he was raised, to join in the Calçot Festival, a joyous occasion attended by thousands that honors, of all things, an unusual onion. He uses a similar onion to cook a white bean omelet, and shows us how to create two more traditional dishes from this area: One is mar y montaña, (Spanish surf-and-turf), which he pairs with the region’s famed Priorat wines; the other–canelloni. (OH, you thought that was Italian? Not any more!)
E3. The Land of Fire: Castilla y Leon
Jul 6, 2008 · 30m
Centuries of history and generations of cooking tradition come together in Castilla y León, where José travels to restaurants that have mastered fire. We look on as master chefs roast pigs and lambs, then watch as José prepare the perfect roast rack of lamb. And we meet the Ibérico pig—source of the Ibérico ham that was unavailable in the U.S. until recently, but is now sweeping the nation as the caviar of cold cuts.

After creating a special drunken goat cheese and tomato salad, José ventures through the region of Murcia in search of the truth behind drunken goat cheese. After visiting the great historic sites of Murcia—the Roman theater at Cartagena, the still-working ancient water wheels—José takes us to a wonderful winery, and explores the famed Murcia vegetable gardens and cooks some great vegetable dishes. Finally, José tries his hand at a unique style of fishing—and, of course, cooks what he catches.
E5. Paella Day: Valencia

José explores the fascinating region of Valencia, famed for its rice fields and paella restaurants. After visiting the best of them, José takes us back to his home in America and teaches us to cook paella at a backyard barbecue with his wife and three daughters!
E6. Seas of Delicacies: Baleares
Oct 9, 2008 · 30m
José travels to Iles Balears where he begins by making a unique omelet with sobrasada, a rare spreadable sausage—then takes us to the islands where those sausages originate. At a black pig farm on Mallorca he rediscovers a delicacy from his childhood–then takes us to a patisserie that makes a famed local dessert from the pork lard! Then onto the island of Menorca for some lobster fishing (and a traditional lobster dish, of course). José visits both a great cheese maker and one of the worlds most renowned gin makers—where he reveals the recipe for the perfect gin and tonic.
