Book Reviews of Spain...A Culinary Road Trip
Book Review: An outstanding pick for any general-interest library strong in either cookbooks or travel guides
Summary: 5 Stars
This companion to the online PBS series needs no TV introduction to make for an excellent stand-alone volume on the history and food of Spain. Two food-obsessed friends searched for the food and wine unique to the country in a blend of travelogue and culinary history - and SPAIN: A CULINARY ROAD TRIP takes a journey across Spain and reveals recipes, extraordinary chefs, culinary history, and local cuisines. Packed with color photos of peoples, countryside and finished dishes, it holds maximum visual appeal both for cooks and for armchair travelers, and is an outstanding pick for any general-interest library strong in either cookbooks or travel guides.

Book Review: Read, "Travelogue"
Summary: 3 Stars
The title says, "Road Trip." If you are looking for "Culinary" refer to Jose Andres but not this. Very nice views of Spain and strange friends enjoying each other although a real mixed bag. The previous viewer/owner seems lukewarm and is correct in assessing the video version particularly as to Batali. If I had not been able to purchase this at a very favorable price I would have been very disappointed. Only a few interesting receipts but in all to very unsatisfying.Book Review: Bought this as a gift for my daughter who recently visited Spain
Summary: 5 Stars
Altho it was a gift for her, I read it whenever I can, and enjoy it immensely. She has been to Spain and enjoys seeing the pictures of locations they visited on their trip and reading the interesting stories of the areas. She wants to return and visit some of the areas she didn't see but has learned about from this book. There are great pictures, recipes, and information throughout the book. I am enjoying it more each time I look through it.Book Review: Bravissimo!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thoroughly enjoyable, informative and inspiring - reading this colorful book together with watching the series I feel I am with old friends driving throughout Spain looking for new culinary adventures. Just like in the old college days. Will feel lost when the show ends! At least I have this culinary souvenir which I will treasure! Can't wait for the DVD to come Review: Loved the BookSummary: 5 Stars I have recently visited Spain when I stumbled upon the PBS program in September. I loved the show so I purchased the book. While in Spain the food I had was absolutely devine and I loved the architecture and culture. Purchasing this book not only helps me remember my gastronomic and cultural experiences in Spain, it will also help me with my travel plans for my next trip back to Spain.
