" Famed Spanish chef Jos\u00E9 Andr\u00E9s has been credited with bringing Spanish cuisine to the American stage. Though he&amp;#039;s a leading authority on the gastronomy of Spain, he&amp;#039;s no one-trick pony. His restaurants dance across the globe, highlighting cuisines from Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and, of course, Spain. His prowess in the kitchen brought him into the limelight, but it was Andr\u00E9s&amp;#039;s vibrancy that led to his PBS cooking show, Made in Spain. When not on TV, developing menus, or authoring cookbooks, Andr\u00E9s enjoys time at home with wife Patricia and their three daughters. There, he has an open-door policy, often hosting friends, family, and fellow chefs. He believes that a good meal is as much about the people as it is about the food and wine. DELISH: Describe your style in three words. JOS\u00C9 ANDR\u00C9S: Modern, fun, bright. DELISH: What&amp;#039;s your favorite room in the house? JA: The kitchen, of course! My kitchen has every tool and gadget. It is open and bright, and connects to an informal dining area and family room. It is the heart of our home, where we spend most of our time together as a family. DELISH: What&amp;#039;s the one thing in the kitchen you couldn&amp;#039;t live without? JA: My juicer. I have to have fresh-squeezed orange juice in the morning. Or maybe my Iberico ham! It took years to bring it to America! DELISH: What&amp;#039;s an ideal day at home? JA: Get up and have a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, head to the farmers&amp;#039; market with my daughters, then come home and cook. DELISH: When you just want to make something simple, quick, and delicious, what do you prepare? JA: Gazpacho, the classic chilled tomato soup from southern Spain. My wife&amp;#039;s recipe is the best, and we always keep a pitcher in the refrigerator. DELISH: If you were to invite a famous person to your house for a meal (any meal) \u2014 who would it be, what would you prepare, and why? JA: I want to throw a dinner party with people whom I admire. I would be able to bend space and time and have the following [food personalities] around the table: Ferran Adri\u00E0 (my mentor), Escoffier, Julia Child, Appert (who invented the process of canning), chef Thomas Keller, Harold McGee, to talk about the why behind food, author Irma Rombauer, Ruperto de Nola, who wrote one of the first cookbooks in Europe, and Apicius. DELISH: Okay, that&amp;#039;s quite a list! But back to reality. Who are your favorite people to host at home? JA: The people I care about. After all, food is about nourishing and about caring. Look for Chef Andr\u00E9s&amp;#039;s companion cookbook to his PBS show, Made in Spain: Spanish Dishes for the American Kitchen, to hit shelves in November 2008.
