I like that the book is not all about recipes: it tells a story... plus the recipes are mouth-watering! I could definitely do without Mrs. Paltrow: so boring and self absorbed. I also recommend watching the TV show: que viva España! (

This book showed a lot of promise but ultimately failed for the most part, in that is neither a great travel narrative nor a great cookbook. I have watched the companion TV series, and even though it captures smart, intelligent people, visiting beautiful towns in Spain, and dining on wonderful food, it somehow lacks the spark that makes you want to stay involved.

The foursome take the ultimate road trip adventure, showcasing the pleasures of Spain, the country's regional cuisine, art, history, and culture, as they've never been seen before.
