Foods of the World: Cooking of Spain and Portugal is part of a 27-book series published by Time-Life that surveyed the world's cuisines. The series combined recipes highlighting their cultural context. Spanish and Portuguese cuisine is a rich tapestry of flavors. Key characteristics of Spanish and Portuguese cuisine include Mediterranean influences, seafood, and unique regional dishes like paella in Spain and bacalhau in Portugal. Each volume came in two parts—a large-format book with photographs, with additional recipes presented in a spiral-bound booklet. The volumes remain collector’s items.
