Customer Reviews

Best book I' ve read so far in English about Spanish Cooking...
These recipes are wonderful, as well as the color photos. I lived in Spain for 4 years, and although I never really used a cookbook, this one is really great. It is totally authentic, from the fabada to the cocido. I used to make fabada every week in winter, and it is just like mine. If you want to learn how to make authentic Spanish food, you should buy this book.

CLASSIC SPANISH CUISINE
Having a Spanish born husband and son-inlaw, I can assure you this book is authentic to the bone without being complicated. Pure classic Spanish food with mostly simplye ingredients for every day cooking.
