Neven Maguire returns with a fourth series of ‘Neven’s Spanish Food Trails’, and this year the popular series sees Neven exploring the Balearic Islands of Mallorca and Menorca. 

Programme two: Neven starts programme two of his brand new Spanish Food Trails series at Mallorca’s famous salt flats, where salt has been produced for 2500 years, to see how the highly prized Fleur de Sal is made.  Almonds are an important part of Mallorca’s agriculture and Neven meets Stéphanie Kinger who creates both sweet and savoury almonds. Sobrasada is another Mallorcan speciality, a sausage-shaped cured meat made with the local black Mallorcan pig. Neven goes to a farm in the east of the island to meet the renowned charcutier Xesc Reina.  Neven’s recipe this week is Chicken and Chorizo Bake with Saffron.

 “I love making the Spanish Food Trails series as there are so many new things to see, dishes to try out, and chefs, cooks and producers to meet. And of course I love the opportunity to share the places we visit with the viewers,” Neven says. “The variety, as always, is amazing – we visit city centre tapas bars, wine and brandy bodegas, a really cool bakery, and meet world class chefs and producers. We also visit a Mallorcan Black Pig farm, a 200-year-old gin distillery, and an almond grove.”

This brand new series of Neven’s Spanish Food Trails takes Neven to many stunning locations, including the Majorcan capital of Palma, the pretty village of Deia, the historic towns of Soller, Mahon and Cuitadella, and the Tramuntana mountains.“I enjoy creating and adapting recipes on location, having been inspired by what I’ve seen,” he says.

Neven’s Spanish Food Trails is produced and directed by David Hare for InproductionTV and is sponsored by FLOGAS
