The Rock's Kitchen

Zoe Anna Torres

£19.99

One of the mythical Pillars of Hercules, the Rock of Gibraltar stands at the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea.

A small but strategically vital peninsula, its diverse cultural influences - Moorish, Italian, Spanish, Maltese, British and North African - can be seen in its art and architecture, its traditions and particularly its food.

Beautifully illustrated with full colour photographs, this comprehensive collection of mouth-watering recipes ranges from the sweet to the spicy and from the light to the hearty. Peppered with childhood recollections of food from the author's own upbringing on the Rock, this assortment of dishes caters for a variety of tastes and comes from a personal experience of family meals cooked in a loving home.

As such it elicits perhaps the best response hoped for from a reader of a cookbook - a feeling of hunger and a keenness to try out each recipe from the book for themselves.

ABOUT ZOE ANNA TORRES

Zoe Anna Torres was born in Gibraltar on 5th December 1976 and has lived on the Rock all her life. She is married to her Gibraltarian husband, Jason and together they have two beautiful girls Shaniah and Cassidy.

Zoe is a self-taught and experienced cook, baker and cake artist, locally renowned for her bespoke wedding cakes and her incredible 3D novelty cakes. She is also known amongst her family and friends for her grand dinner parties and summer parties and for her natural talent and knowledge of all things culinary and creative.

Recently, she participated in Gibraltar's own version of the UK's Masterchef, locally known as Rockchef, for which she won second place. The positive feedback and praise she received during her Rockchef experience from the judges, contestants and diners alike brought on the impulse for her to write this book. The Rock's Kitchen is her debut work and is soon to be followed by other works based on her favourite cuisines around the world.
