IMPECCABLE TASTE: Spanish chef Ferran Adria
After filming her show Searching for Mexico in 2023, deciding on the destination of her next gastronomic pilgrimage was easy for Eva Longoria.
The Desperate Housewives star has admitted taking inspiration from her father.
"My dad's always like, 'You know, we're from Spain'. And I was like, 'No, we're not, dad. We're from Mexico'. And he's like, 'No, the Longorias are from Spain', which makes sense with the conquest and colonisation."
Eva hails from royal blood that traces back to the ancient kingdom of the Visigoths and is proud of her Spanish origins and heritage.
And in this new eight-part series, she explores how the land, its people and their culture have shaped its cuisines.
