Meet the pioneering female cellar master at one of Spains greatestjamn ibricoproducers
Jamón ibérico de bellota is arguably Spain’s greatest contribution to the world of food. It’s a melt-in-your mouth treasure and priced to match, with packages in the United States fetching more than $200 a pound. Famously, it’s made from free-range Iberian pigs, who forage and feast on the acorns that allow them to pack on flavorful fat.

Our All-Time Best Recipes
If anyone should know if a recipe’s a keeper, it’s the person tasked with making sense of the original instructions—from the far reaches of Sri Lanka, say, or a famous chef who measures nothing. This might explain why many test kitchen staffers named favorites that their predecessors had tested and recommended. (Though a couple put forth recipes they developed themselves.) And while Saveur never shies away from the oddball authentic ingredient, the fare on the following pages is the stuff we cook at home, over and over again. Consider it global comfort food.
