Spanish culinary techniques and traditions

Overview

Spanish gastronomy is being highlighted through both specialized professional techniques and the preservation of traditional regional recipes.

Renowned chefs have shared specific methods to refine preparations, such as using baking soda in sofrito to soften onion textures and reduce tomato acidity, or using slow dehydration at 120 ºC to create crispy Iberian ham without damaging volatile fats.

In addition to these modern professional tips, traditional dishes like spinach cream with cod and chickpeas and cocido madrileño remain central to the culinary landscape. Experts suggest specific preparation steps for these staples, such as desalinating cod for up to 48 hours or cooking chorizo separately to improve the consistency of stews.
