Spain on the Road Again - book and TV seriesHollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow comes to UKTV Food this month with a brand-new and exclusive series that sees her indulge her passion for Spanish food and embark on a culinary roadtrip around the Latin country.

Joining Gwyneth on her trip is Iron Chef Mario Batali, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman and Spanish actress Claudia Bassols.

The four foodies start their journey in Castilla La Mancha where the boys explore the fish market while the girls celebrate Claudia’s birthday in style – lounging luxuriously eating churros and drinking hot chocolate. The series continues when Gwyneth and Mario meet up with legendary architect Frank Gehry, and Mark and Claudia head into the woods where they discover the ultimate grilling restaurant.

Elsewhere there’s a trip to Galicia to dig for shellfish and eat wood-fired empanadas, and a visit to Basque country where there’s a behind-the-scenes vineyard tour at a luxury hotel. Feeling peckish, Gwyneth and Mark indulge in a spot of vine-side grilling. Meanwhile, Claudia learns from master chef Juan Mari Arzak.
