The Old Fools' Kitchen cookbooks were created in response to requests from readers of the Old Fools series asking for all the recipes to be collected together in one place. Choose from:

• Classic Spanish dishes, like paella and tapas
• Simple everyday Spanish and Arabic recipes
• Recipes for Spanish fiestas and holidays
• Spanish and Middle Eastern side dishes, soups, sauces and dips
• Spanish and Middle Eastern fish, meat and vegetarian meals
• Spanish and Middle Eastern drinks and desserts

Please note, these recipes aren't new: they are stolen from the first three books of the Old Fools series. Enjoy

With thanks to the village ladies and Nadia Sawalha who kindly donated their recipes.
