Loved it!5
The gorgeous Spanish coutryside as visioned in “Spain” (the series) is amazing. I look (dream?!) @ the book and remember each episode, in detail.
Enough said…just enjoy.

Celebrity Spanish Travelogue3
“Spain-A Culinary Road Trip” would be best described as “Jamon,Jamon (Ham,Ham)” like the Pedro Almodovar movie. There are plenty of hams on this journey–between Italian divo Mario Batali and actress/mother/wife of Coldplay’s front man Gwyneth Paltrow. “Spain” is more of a scrapbook than a cookbook. There are plenty of gorgeous sights–from the Costa Brava and Gibraltar to Frank Gehry’s modernist Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. It is a feast for the eyes. As medieval pilgrims journeyed to Santiago de Compostela,so does the quartet- Paltrow,Batali,as well as New York Times food writer Mark Bittman and Spanish actress Claudia Bassols-make a pilgrimage through Spain.

“A Culinary Road Trip” does have some recipes. It’s classified according to region. There’s Valencia Paella,as well as Paltrow’s own take on clams (isn’t she a spokeswoman for PETA? Aren’t she&Chris Martin vegans? Nevermind) They get to see the Alhambra,go to Toledo,Madrid, and Barcelona. Their journey to the Basque region is somewhat disappointing–considering its uniqueness in Europe.

“Spain” is a feast for the eyes,but not so much for the kitchen. It’s a standard celebrity coffee table book. Not all who wander are lost…

Entertaining book with recipes4
It is just another cookbook with recipes you can find in other spanish cookbooks unlike other Mario Batali’s books.

Disappointed1
Very disappointed. One of my favorite programs and felt that the book didn’t share any of the spots that I wanted or recipes that I was hoping to find. Have not opened it since I received it. Possible re-gift item.

not money1
I just purchased this book, I have over 100 cook books I am a chef with over 22 years experience this by far is one of the worse cookbooks I have ever purchased, but also triple d is one of my favorite shows on food network
if you have any understanding at all about cooking you will see right away how simplistic this book really is, none of the triple d outstanding recipes are show cased at all, it is all in black and white no color photos very cheaply done. if I woild of had 5 minutes to check it out no way would I have wasted my money on this. sorry guy NOT MONEY

Great ideas for great food!5
This book is right from the show. All of those amazing foods they make on the show are right here for you to make & enjoy in your own home!
