Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In 2006, the Culinary Institute of America gathered chefs from Spain and around the world to attend a conference on Spanish cuisine and its impact on the world table. This splendid book brings the conference to life with vivid photos and exciting recipes, beautifully written by Shulman (Mediterranean Harvest), covering Spain's regions, the history and importance of different courses and the high-quality ingredients used in Spanish cooking, from wine and sherry to potatoes and rice. The recipes, by chefs from Spain, Japan, Peru and the U.S., are a perfect mix of ultra-traditional Spanish dishes like Tortilla Española and Paella Valenciana, updated classics such as a gorgeous Beet and Cherry Gazpacho, and international dishes inflected with Spanish flair, such as Sushi Paella. Some of the recipes use fairly advanced techniques, and many ingredients are not widely available, though some substitutions are suggested and, along with a glossary, a helpful list of sources is provided. But with Shulman's excellent insights into Spanish products and ways of preparation, even the more difficult recipes feel accessible. (Apr.)

Review

"This splendid book brings the [Culinary Institute of America's Worlds of Flavor] conference to life with vivid photos and exciting recipes." -- Publishers Weekly, March 17, 2008

This book is not so much about the basics as it is about inspiration and finding a way to bring the origins and influences of the regionalized Spanish cuisine to today's table. It is about making food traditions relevant and interesting to a modern kitchen and lifestyle. --My Own Sweet Thyme!

This is an oversize book with DK publishings trademark simple, elegant design and glorious photography which makes the recipes spring to life. The recipes are clearly written in steps that make it easy to see just what will be involved. --Meanwhile Back in the Kitchen
