Book Description

Culinaria October 15, 2008
Food and culture are inexorably tied together. The Culinaria series reports on every aspect of the cuisine of a country within the context of the people who created it. One of the most successful series in cook book history, these new editions are updated with the guidance of first-class chefs, and come in a durable flexi-cover format to withstand abuse while spending time in the kitchen.

The teams behind each Culinaria volume spend months in the region they are working on, allowing them time to fully absorb all of the food and drink a country can offer. Profusely illustrated with spectacular photography and abundantly peppered with authentic recipes, these volumes are a treat for both the mind and the palate.


Learn about the history behind the dishes, their cultural significance, and how to prepare them.
Beautiful photographs take you on a tour from the local villages to inside the kitchen where you will find the final product.
Enormous variety of magnificent photographs and tempting recipes together with knowledgeable text that is easy for readers and cooks of all skill levels to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a cookbook - this will teach you about geography, climate, history, and art, January 30, 2008
By 
Penumbra (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Culinaria Spain (Paperback)
"Culinaria Spain" is much more than a simple cookbook. As stated in the introduction, "To savor a nation's culinary customs is to experience the unfolding of an entire culture."

The people who bring you the Culinaria series want you to know that the food of a country reflects not only the geography, topography and climate, but also the history - all the peoples who have conquered, settled or passed through a country leave an impression.

While many people think of Spain and paella, there is much more to it. The people of the northern mountains certainly eat a more hearty fare than the people of the southern Mediterranean coast.

The book is divided by region to illustrate the various cuisine and cultures. For example, the empanada originated in Galicia as a kind of "fast food" for Christian pilgrims.

Culinaria gives you many wonderful recipes, many fun and interesting facts about the food and the regions. There are extensive sections describing wines, cheeses, olive oils, seafood, mineral water and more. The book is beautifully and lavishly illustrated with photographs, not only of prepared foods but of coastlines and mountains, markets, and beautiful Spanish faces.

This is a really nice book if you want to learn more about Spain than just a few recipes!

Highly recommended!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars This review is for the relaunch version!, December 4, 2010

REVIEW FOR THE RELAUNCH VERSION:

The relaunch is essentially no different in content than the original. The main changes are

- new pictures of some recipes

- more open feel with increased line spacing

- no more coloured backgrounds on pages

- general realignment of photos and text on pages.

Overall if you do not own it, it is probably easier to read than the original and better for vision impaired. If you own the original do not bother, all conent and recipes are the same. Personally I prefer the more rustic and warmer feel of the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cookbook, July 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is an incredible cookbook at a great price!. It covers the three things I look for....large pictures of the country or city I visited, information about the foods produced in those areas, and recipes using those local and regional foods. Pictures were amazing.
