Book Description

Gourmet's Companion February 13, 1997
A guided tour of classic and regional Spanish cooking for travelers, chefs, and food lovers

A combination restaurant companion/culinary reference, Spanish Cuisine familiarizes you with both classical Spanish cooking and the myriad regional dishes found throughout the country, from Catalu?a to the Canary Islands. Whether it's a hardy Extremaduran fais?n a las uvas (pot roasted pheasant with grapes) or a spicy calamares rellenos (Balearic stuffed squid) it tells you what it is, what's in it, how it's prepared, how it differs from region to region, and more.

An ideal companion to take along on your next journey to Spain, as well as a valuable reference for amateur and professional cooks who'd like to add the distinctive tastes of Spain to their international repertoire, Spanish Cuisine gives you:

  • A complete dictionary of Spanish dishes
  • Ingredients for hundreds of classical and regional dishes, organized by course
  • A Spanish-English glossary of cooking terms
  • Explanations of different cooking styles and preparation methods, from region to region
  • Descriptions of Spanish wines and liqueurs

4.0 out of 5 stars Know Your Spanish Menu, August 5, 2011
This review is from: Spanish Cuisine: The Gourmet's Companion (Paperback)
The previous reviewer is quite right; this is not a recipe book. If, however, what you are looking for is an extensive guide to menu terminology and regional specialties, it's a great reference book. Seventy pages of it read like a dictionary for foodies. I'd say it's a must have if you are traveling, short on Spanish, and hungry!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - A Total Failure, January 3, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spanish Cuisine: The Gourmet's Companion (Paperback)
Somebody should warn the prospective buyer that this book is a condensation of terms. Basically a glorified glossary. I thought I was buying full recipes. The publisher and the hype stole my money. Don't buy this if you're on the look for good Spanish recipes.
