Seas of Delicacies: Baleares

Overview

José travels to Iles Balears where he begins by making a unique omelet with sobrasada, a rare spreadable sausage—then takes us to the islands where those sausages originate. At a black pig farm on Mallorca he rediscovers a delicacy from his childhood–then takes us to a patisserie that makes a famed local dessert from the pork lard! Then onto the island of Menorca for some lobster fishing (and a traditional lobster dish, of course). José visits both a great cheese maker and one of the worlds most renowned gin makers—where he reveals the recipe for the perfect gin and tonic.
