Product Description

Product Description

Catalonia, located in Spain's far north-east corner and centred around the port of Barcelona, has its own cuisine and culture which has spread to encompass Valencia, the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza), Andorra, the ancient region of France formerly known as Roussilon, and a single city on the Italian island of Sardinia. Colman Andrews explores this whole territory of Catalan cooking, from its French, Roman and Moorish roots to today's modern interpretation. Along the way he creates a portrait of the food, wine, history and culture of the region.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting recipe book and a good travel companion, 16 Nov 2001
Fascinated by the unusual Catalan flavours, I bought this book. At the beginning I was a little bit disappointed, because it is laid out in a strange way, by main ingredients, rather than by kind of plate (starters, main dishes and so on). But when I got used to it I was able to appreciate the research Andrews made before writing it. There are no pictures and, usually, I don't like cookbooks that lack them, but there are nice and interesting anectodes about every recipe and the description can partly substitute the photos. At the end there is a "normal" index, I mean with plates in the usual order, which I found quite useful. There is a nice introduction and interesting appendixes about Paisos Catalans and their history and legends. There is also aguide to the pronunciation of the different dishes, which can be really useful if you travel to Catalonia.
The recipes are always clear and easy to follow, even if sometimes the author is really a purist (when he suggests to make picada in a pestle and mortar), but you can use easier techniques. Finally I just want to say I'm glad I bought this book and I would suggest it to anyone that loves or just wants to discover Catalan flavours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Catalan Cuisine, 30 Oct 2009
By Ann Neilson (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Catalan Cuisine: Vivid Flavors from Spain's Mediterranean Coast (Paperback)
I'd already borrowed the book from a friend and thought it worth purchasing. However, the spelling 'flavors' should have alerted me to the fact that I was buying an American version. Vocabulary, spelling and weights and measures are obviously not so familiar in this version. I like the fact that the recipes are from places I have visited and the results of what we have tried so far are the genuine article.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Book For Fish Lovers but with Food for all other tastes, 14 April 2009
By Philip G. Tipping - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If like me you love Paella, Sea Food Stew and Sea Food Soup; this book is excellent. It also contains recipes for dishes as various as Calf's Liver with Onions and Chocolate Cake with Banyuls (a Fortified Aperitif or Dessert Wine)
