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.
