Beth Matthews-ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Beth Matthews and her husband Chris have enjoyed friends and food in Seville, Spain, by means of extended trips ever since college days. Falling in love with the satisfying southern Spanish cuisine then, they have continued to deepn their appreciation of the favorite soul foods every family serves. Since moving to Seville in 1998 with their four children, the Matthews helped begin a college and graduate school where they are still involved. Visitors here discover the wealth of southern Spanish culture: the love of beauty, the importance of family, the idea of working just to live, and the value of good health. Beth encourages all her guests to try the flavorful dishes that have made the kitchens of Seville so popular. Some of Beth's favorite recipes are the puchero, pollo al ajillo, albóndigas, picadillo, salmorejo, and flan. Chris likes a good montadito, gazpacho, tortilla, and seafood paella. Read More Read Less
