Good to know
How long do these take?
Half are done in about 27 minutes. The quickest is around 10 minutes and the longest about 55 minutes, so there is something here whether you have a spare hour or twenty minutes.
Are these authentic Spanish recipes?
No, and we do not claim they are. These are dishes built on Spanish ingredients and technique by the Delicious kitchen, which is why the pages say Spanish-style rather than Spanish. They are written to taste right and to work in a home kitchen, not to be a record of traditional cooking.
Is every recipe here vegetarian?
Every recipe in this collection is written without ingredients that break a vegetarian diet. We cannot vouch for the brands in your cupboard or for cross-contamination in your kitchen, so check labels as you normally would.
How many calories are in these?
Most land between 279 and 1057 calories a serving. Every recipe shows its own calories plus protein, carbs and fat, calculated per serving rather than per batch.
