Product Description

Review

'[Richardson] knows stuff about Spain we fly-by-nights can only guess at.' Guardian Praise for OUR LADY OF THE SEWERS: AND OTHER ADVENTURES IN DEEP SPAIN: 'Witty and knowledgeable fascinating.' The Times 'Puckish, witty, casually erudite delivers acute and sharply observed portraits of both people and places' TLS

Tribune

This beautifully written book goes beyond the familiar (paella, Rioja and oranges from Seville) to the heart of the country, its culture and its food. It's a wonderful read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure to read, 6 Oct 2009
By 
This is more than just a book about food. It's a record of a cultural journey, a travel journal, an analysis of the national psyche and a relaxing, informative read.

What struck me most is that the writer is not precious about food the way so many food writers are. A real pleasure and I am so happy I chanced upon this book. I am going to look out for some of his other work next.

4.0 out of 5 stars The real Spain, 8 Sep 2009
A look at and a taste of the real Spain. Properly researched and written by someone who actually knows the country - not something you can say about a number of other recent books on Spain and how she eats. This and Menu del Dia by Rohan Daft are by far the best recent books on traditional Spanish food.

4.0 out of 5 stars A classic gastronomic delight!, 26 July 2009
By 
Sevillana (Cambridgeshire) - See all my reviews
This book is a must for everyone who wants to find out the stories behind the regional food of Spain. This book is so well written and researched - a joy to savour each page. I am keeping this book on my bookshelf and am planning my trips to San Sebastian and the Basque country as a direct result. This work is of such high quality. Thank you Mr Richardson for such a fine book.
