This book was short and sweet which is handy for beginners. The desserts were a surprising highlight to me!
I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. I love how easy the recipes look! I love that the recipes don't need a lot of ingredients. Can't wait to try some!
A beautiful collection of Spanish recipes. I liked that I could instantly make some of these recipes just from what I would normally have on hand. The ingredients are not unusual or terribly expensive, except of course saffron, but it's worth it for a good paella. The pictures are likewise appealing and the instructions clear. I look forward to making many of these recipes. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC for review.
After reading and loving Italian Cooking for Beginners, from the same publisher, I knew I had to grab this cookbook as well.
Unlike Italian cooking, I've never cooked Spanish food, but I love Spanish food, even having been to Spain.
I've always been intimidated by Spanish recipes because there are so many ingredients, and everything seems time consuming and dauting. This cookbook breaks recipes down and helps make those daunting recipes much easier, but still tasty. I'm looking forward to trying a paella recipe that won't take me all day to make!
This cookbook is colorful, with pictures not only of the food, but Spain itself. All the recipes have a history, so you learn about the food you're going to cook. Each recipe also has tips and tricks for helpfuly cooking and substitutions.
The only negatives I have were not all recipes had pictures, so you don't know what the finished product is supposed to look like, and I wish there had been a level of difficulty and amount of time each recipe should take.
Overall, if you're a fan of Spanish food, this is a great cookbook for those like me, who were too intimidated before.
