I don't usually read cookbooks page by page, but this is more of a travel/food book. This is a good book for learning the regional variations in Spanish cuisine--not every Spaniard eats paella! If I didn't have the travel bug before, I definitely do now!

Beautiful pics of food, people, and places. Not a stand-alone book but a complement to the TV series. Going to buy this one. Thoroughly enjoyed the DVD of the series. Lots more places to add to my list for trip of a lifetime to Spain. Was there over 30 years ago, twice; once with Franco and once after his death.

I loved the PBS show and bought the book out of this love. It doesn't disappoint - great recipes, beautiful photos, and snippets of the conversations shared on the show.

A wonderful companion to the PBS series Spain...On the Road Again. Stories and recipes and a nice way to start to plan a trip to Spain.

If someone called me on this, I’d have to delete this from my list of books read in 2009; I really didn’t read it so much as browsed it. Mario is apparently some sort of famous chef (is he on tv, perhaps?) and Paltrow is along for the ride as photo candy. And there are lots of photos. And lots of recipes.

A quick little trip to Spain this summer, with lots of great food. Free, via the public library.
