Spanish Accent

“Reading this book is like walking into a kitchen where the windows are thrown wide open to the spirit of Spain. What I adore most is how honest and generous Katie is as she breathes new life into American favorites—like mac and cheese, meatloaf, or chicken soup—using the flavorful and exciting building blocks of her Spanish pantry. Her warm, down-to-earth voice offers us a beautiful invitation to bring a touch of Spanish sunshine home to the people we love. I know my copy will be stained with olive oil and pimentón in no time—it’s a book I’ll reach for over and over.” —Suzy Karadsheh, New York Times bestselling author and founder of TheMediterraneanDish.com

“I always say cooking for others is the purest expression of love. Chef Button’s synthesis of Spanish and American foods is proof of that love and comfort she has given to her family and the guests in her restaurant for many years. It is a celebration of taking different parts of the cultures you grew up in and the cultures you encounter throughout your life and making it into something new and your own. This beautiful book will breathe new life into many meals to be shared with friends and family.” —Jacques Pépin, chef, author, television personality, and culinary educator


“Katie Button’s food, rooted in Spain and plated in the American South, is at once deeply traditional and ever-evolving, authentic to both worlds, yet somehow completely her own. With Spanish Accent, she takes us from her bustling restaurant into her cozy home kitchen, blending the bright, brined and bold flavors of the Spanish pantry with beloved American staples, creating a treasury of instant classics I want to make over and over again. Buen Provecho!” —Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host, and author of Bringing It Home

“Katie, like me, has a foot in both America and Spain. In this book, she shares new, unique dishes that don’t just prove her mastery of both cuisines, but also the joy she finds in feeding her beautiful family.” —José Andrés

“I have always admired Katie as a chef. Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she isn’t afraid of a little risk when it comes to breathing new life into old favorites—and the result is always something unique and delicious. The creative fusion of flavor, culture, and story that she shares in this cookbook is inspiring me to take more chances in my own kitchen.” —Joanna Gaines
