Review #1

An excellent survey of changing Catalan food styles

The Pyrenees region blends both French and Spanish cuisine and culture, offering dishes which are a product of different cultural traditions. Both traditional and modern dishes from the region are included in Tastes Of The Pyrenees, Classic And Modern Range from Catalan Beef Stew and Oxtail Stew to Lobster and Rabbit with Lemon Butter. An excellent survey of changing Catalan food styles emerges. No photos, but the dishes are relatively easy to reproduce and don't need them.




Review #2

Interesting reading and practical recipes

I enjoyed that these recipes don't take all day to prepare, yet they are very authentic. The history of the region, wines and cultural influences are all addressed in this book as well, it's more than just a bunch of recipes! A nice addition to my cookbook collection.
