The foods and wines of Spain por Penelope Casas
Pulpo a la gallega = Octopus in Paprika and Oil, p.23; good; made eight versions with two evoo and four paprika; smoke picante was the best.
Lots of good every day recipes featured, many reminiscent of the meals we had our first trip to Spain!
Another cookbook that lacks presentation... The dishes presented in the photographs are just not appetizing. The colors are that bland yellow/red/brown/orange. Just very boring looking.
The print is easy to read and the recipes are easy to follow.
Much of the food is not what is usually eaten in the U.S., unless you know Spanish families: Tuna butter canape; Canape of mackerel & cured ham; Pimiento & dry cod salad; Calves live in almond sauce; Stuffed pigs feet vinaigrette; Blood sausage in puff pastry....
I'll pass.… (más)

Lovely little book filled with tempting recipes & mouth-watering photos. The recipes seem easy enough to follow...but if I had to make these for sure I'd double the ingredients, too much work for such a small amount of food.
I am marking this down because the print is approximately 8 pt. which makes it almost invisible.
