The author knows her stuff

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019

Amber, the author, knows her stuff. She is an authority on Costa Brava as well as food. Amber has lived in Girona, Costa Brava for the last several years providing her with a ton of insights into this fantastic region. Amber and her husband have also been running a successful travel blog that focuses on food. They have been traveling the last 7 years exploring the world's cuisine. So again, Amber has a lot of experience and insights into food which provides a lot of other context when sharing her love of the food of Costa Brava.

I have not read the book fully yet, however I have gained a lot of insights into the food and drink of the Costa Brava already, I have made plenty of notes on things to search out, eat and vist.

My big disappointment and criticism of the book is the black and white photos they are not very inspiring for a foodie book - sorry if you look beyond this you will indeed enjoy and learn the lack of colour photos has reduced my star rating sorry

Squuiid
