Celebrity Spanish Travelogue![]()
“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 recipes![]()
It is just another cookbook with recipes you can find in other spanish cookbooks unlike other Mario Batali’s books.
