Book Reviews of Paella!: Spectacular Rice Dishes From Spain
Book Review: Big Mistake.
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this book overnight delivery because I was psyched to read it after being told how good it was. As soon as I opened it I didn't like the feel of the paper used. Not like Bobby Flay's cookbooks or Tyler's Ultimate. There were no pictures of the finished meals, which I love to look at. I guess I need books with lots of pictures. LOL.
I spent plenty of money on a paellera and paella burner and was hoping to get recipes to use with that type of gear. I will not be putting my paella in the oven any time soon. How will you get that delicious socarrat? Might as well watch YouTube and get ideas from there.
I will give it two stars because the recipes Ms. Casas gives us are still useful. At least it gives you a list of ingredients and you can go from there. Just don't put it in the oven.
I would have purchased Paella Paella instead, but I'll wait for someone like my sister to buy it for me because it's not cheap. I will probably get her Tapas book though.
I'm bummed.
Summary of Paella!: Spectacular Rice Dishes From Spain
From the best-selling author of Tapas: The Little Dishes of Spain and The Foods and Wines of Spain.Unless they have traveled to spain, most Americans have never tasted a really good paella. What passes for paella at restaurants and even in cookbooks here is a pale imitation of the real thing, the vibrant Spanish rice dish that marries the robust flavors of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and pepper with short-grain rice, broth, and meat, fish, or vegetables. Penelope Casas is here to restore the glorious paella to its rightful place as a grain-based meal that will gratify the senses as well as be the centerpiece for easy, elegant entertaining.
Casas presents sixty different fascinating paellas, some traditional, some her own creation, showing how easily some of the preparation can be done ahead of time with supermarket ingredients. She includes a superior collection of tapas, the Spanish meal starters, two dozen simple desserts, and a handful of broths and sauces. Her passion for paella, her clear directions, and her creative pairings of fresh ingredients make this unusual cookbook a winner.
