 This is the most authentic Spanish cookbook available. October 27, 1998
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
Out of the many Spanish cookbooks that I own, Foods and Wines of Spain is by far the most authentic and informative. I lived in Spain for several years, and I know the country and its cusine very well. In Penelope Casa's book you will find authentic recipes from all of Spain's diverse regions. If you want to be transported instantly to real Spanish food, this is book to own. The recipes are easy to follow and generally require common, everyday ingredients found in most kitchens. I have made many of the recipes, all with great success, and as a result, I have converted many of my friends and family to the exciting world of Spanish cooking. More than just a cook book, the author writes of the culinary history of Spain, making this a truly interesting book.

Having lived in Spain for several years, I have found this the most comprehensive Spanish cookery book. The dishes actually turn out tasting like food I have eaten in Spain. (Fr Julian Green)

6 out of 7 found this review helpful
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.
