Book Reviews of The Foods and Wines of Spain
Book Review: A great cookbook in every way
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is full of a dynamic range of Spanish recipes, all of which are both tasty and easy to prepare. Every recipe I've made has come out perfect, I have never had a failure. Ms. Casas has clearly gone to great lengths to capture authentic, well tested recipes that anyone can prepare.
This book is so diverse in its scope that it would take a long time to tire of using it. I can hardly bare to cook anything else. Spanish flavor with its simplicity and freshness of flavors could not be better presented then in this perfect book. Highly reccomended!
Book Review: Interestiing read, good well-instructed recipes.
Summary: 5 Stars
Very enjoyable, a good mix of culinary information and information about Spain and the auther. I don't see many general cookery books on Spanish cuisine and this one explains it well. The actual dishes are very toothsome and the instructions are clear and easily followed. Although I am not a professional cook, all of the recipes I have attemped have turned out well. In addition, I find the preparation more enjoyable than prep. for other types of ethnic cuisine. I got this book from a public library and am surprised I have not seen it in general bookstores.Book Review: great book
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book. Doesn't try to get super-fancy in the food, just a pile of good eats. You can really tell the authenticity of the recipes, I felt like I learned a lot about spanish cooking simply by reading through the recipes and the techniques. I haven't really used the wine section of the book much, but it seemed thorough as well.Book Review: Literate, fun, superb
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has many great recipes, and absolutely the greatest gazpacho recipe I've ever tried! I have many many cookbooks, and I think this is one of the best in my library, along with my Julia Childs and my Marcella Hazans. I've owned it for years, and use it frequently.Book Review: These receipes are authentic, delicious, and easily made!
Summary: 5 Stars
The receipes are easy to prepare, require a minimum of ingredients and are not time consuming. Each receipe has been a hit with our family. We lived in Andalucia next to our exchange student's family, and these receipes rival Mama Rosa's cooking! Delicious!
