Sara’s Weeknight Meals: Season 14

Episode 1403: Franco Spanish Feast

Me and Paula Mourenza from Culinary Backstreets

I take a winding tapas tour of Barcelona, from a historic nut roasting shop to an unmarked dive with a secret recipe for its viral mashed potato and meat delicacy, the Bomba. Then I answer questions about Salt and Garlic with two guests on “Ask Sara.” Later – a guest from Lyon, Damien Lacroix, makes two dishes that show why it’s the culinary capital of France – Poulet au Vinaigre (Chicken in Vinegar Sauce) and Cervelle de Canut (a cheesy dip).
