Ainsley's Mediterranean Cookbook

Ainsley Harriott's culinary tour reaches Granada in southern Spain, where he learns about the famous Alhambra Palace, enjoys a lesson in flamenco dancing and visits the caves of Sacromante, home to a cooking school where he is taught to make classic tortilla and fried aubergines. Ainsley also samples Spanish hot chocolate - thick, creamy and flavoured with orange - and tries local delicacy piononos, with tour guide Katia. Along the way, he rustles up chicken with saffron potatoes and a classic seafood paella.

Ainsley Harriott's culinary tour reaches Amman in the eastern Mediterranean country of Jordan. He catches up with his old friend Maria who runs a cookery school, discovers how the country is becoming a serious wine-producing region and visits a bustling fruit and vegetable market for ingredients. Ainsley's dishes include chargrilled sumac lamb cutlets with tabbouleh and falafel with hummus.

Ainsley Harriott is still in the eastern Mediterranean country of Jordan. In the seaside city of Aqaba he uses local molasses in a fattoush salad, and cooks with the chefs at a swanky golf club, where roasted fish with spicy rice is the order of the day. Ainsley also visits the city of Petra, learning the history of the Bedouin people and exploring the astonishing Treasury building. Back in his kitchen, chicken shawarma with tahini sauce and pitta bread packed with spiced beef mince are the final dishes on the menu.
