Rick Stein's Spain: 140 new recipes inspired by my journey off the beaten track

Great book as always from Rick Stein . Easy to follow receipesthe recipes are by region and not by content so you have to browse the book to find a specific ingredient ie a fish dish

I thoroughly enjoyed the TV series because of the exploration of regions of the country heretofore underrepresented, some very enticing recipes and Mr. Stein's affable personality. This companion book so far has not disappointed. Though I've only cooked a few of the recipes, they were relatively easy to prepare, utilizing just a few ingredients and perhaps 1 or 2 pans at most. Most came out perfectly. Unfortunately, one dish, the garlic chicken, was a complete failure. Mr. Stein does not tell you to remove the garlic/oil marinade and as a result the garlic burned whilst browning the chicken. As someone who considers himself a pretty decent cook, I should have known better, and in fairness the book is probably geared towards someone like me who is already knowledgeable and comfortable in the kitchen. However a bit more detail in the directions would have been welcome and averted a mess. One other criticism is that the recipes are all in metric, but it's only a minor inconvenience to convert to English measurements. Overall, I found it beautifully written and designed and I am very much looking forward to trying more recipes from this really good book. Bravo, Rick Stein.

This is a really good cookbook from the fold of Rick Stein. Fond foodie memories from many visits to that vibrant country.Having bought the book previously for me and my husband - satisfactorily accomplishing to date, 75% of all its recipes,a lot of them cooked on the Isle of Wight, where fresh ingredients from the sea and land abound, I bought this copy for my chums in Minneapolis/St.Paul. They received it with equal relish.The vendor came up trumps - with delivery spot-on.

I love Rick Steins cookery books but was a little disappointed with his Spanish book,perhaps he didn't have as much to work with.Have found a few recipes that I will try, but nothing like his India book which I look at most days. Perhaps it will grow on me !!

Fantastic as always, Rick writes as he narrates in his TV programs - Easy, simple and very tasty and a great adventure in Spanish cuisine.

Excellent, the only word needed.
