Spain. Late lunch. Richardson P.

”A fascinating culinary guide to Spain, compiled by a famous English traveler and a recognized kitchen connoisseur by the Richardson field. Once, Paul Richardson, a famous British journalist and traveler, a thin connoisseur of high kitchen, accidentally ended up in Spain at the food fair. He was so captivated by the amazing skill of local cooks to combine tradition and novelty in his products that he decided to stay in this country forever. Rightly believing that culinary art is part of the culture of the people, Richardson set out to get to the very essence of Spanish culinary traditions. He methodically traveled around the whole country: he visited fishing villages on the seashore and in the huts of shepherds high in the mountains, studied the life of a rural hinterland and noisy, lively megacities. The result of this voyage was an exciting culinary guide, in which the author describes the striking changes that have occurred in the life of Spain over the past fifty years, explores the gastronomic art of this country in its most extreme manifestations and talks about how he had to tast various dishes from traditional to the avant -garde. Here is a truly good book about Spain and amazing Spanish food. "Kolm Toybin
