Eating your way through Spain

A Late Dinner is an entertaining culinary journey through Spain. The author writes in the first person, so you feel like you make the trip with him. I should state here that I read the book first from the library, then bought several copies to give as gifts plus one for myself. Then I gave that one away, so I had to buy another one for myself. This book is a must for lovers of Spanish cuisine, particularly if they are planning a trip to Spain. The author goes into exquisite detail about the history of the cuisine of each region as he travels around the country. He tells what foods each region is famous for and the best restaurants to enjoy it. The title refers to the Spanish custom of eating dinner at what would be considered a late hour to Americans.

not just food

I picked up Richardson's book intending to read only the chapter on Barcelona, in anticipation of a trip I plan to make, but once I got started, I had to read it all. This is a vividly written, big-hearted book, a book about not only the food, but also the landscape, history and culture of Spain. I loved it.
