I Love this Book

I have to be honest, this may not be the greatest cookbook, recipe-wise, in that it doesn't have a lot of them and it's mostly filled with pictures and other stuff, but if you've seen the show and sat, mouth-watering, like I have, you'll love this book for capturing the same adventurous, exotic, and ultimately succulent recipes for you to revisit and try on your own. I know for sure that I will not be recreating most of these recipes, but the ones that I will are just so amazing that they more than make up for it. I see this book more as a treasury of good food, good times and a healthy way of life we should all be living, and it makes me smile just flipping through its colourful pages. For that reason, it's one of my favourite cookbooks.

Loved it!

The gorgeous Spanish coutryside as visioned in "Spain" (the series) is amazing. I look (dream?!) @ the book and remember each episode, in detail. Enough said...just enjoy.

Spain A Culinary Road Trip by Mario Batali

I purchased the books after seeing the series on TV - the book truly reflects the series. I first purchased one for myself but once I had read some of the recipes and saw the beautiful pictures - I decided to purchase another for a Christmas Gift.

Boy, have they got my number!

Spain on the Road Again, the tv show plus book, is a complete fantasy come true. I love it. It may help that I have been to about half the places in Spain that they describe, but it is beautifully done escapism. The recipes I've tried are great. The book is totally worth it, from one who almost never buys cookbooks.
