“Keuneke celebrates good food and good health in this cookbook and love letter to the flavors of the Iberian Peninsula…. A thoroughly sumptuous guide to some of the world’s most nutritious cuisines…. Get it.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“With The Iberian Table, Robin Keuneke has written a book that should appeal even to those food-lovers who don’t care a fig about antioxidants, microbiomes, or fatty acids. I say that because I believe that one can probably eat better in Spain today than anywhere else in the Western world—from the most basic of foods (Catalonia’s elemental pa amb tomàquet, the ubiquitous espinacas con garbanzos) to the most other-worldly innovations of modernist cuisine—and Keuneke has done a remarkably comprehensive job of telling us why and how. Her recipes are clearly written and seductive, and she eloquently evokes the soul and spirit of Spain—even those parts of it that are far from the Mediterranean—and, yeah, okay, all the health and nutrition stuff is pretty useful and informative as well, and only enhances the rest.” – Colman Andrews, author, Catalan Cuisine: Europe’s Last Great Culinary Secret and Ferran: The Inside Story of El Bulli and the Man Who Reinvented Food

“Keuneke has succeeded at a difficult task: writing about health statistics and recipes without becoming tedious. Most readers of such subjects eventually switch off. But Robin is a very fine, engaging writer. In addition, she is preserving in print, while it is still possible, an ancient way of life, now threatened by globalization, commercialism, and climate change. For this, we should be grateful.” – Dr. Andreas Buttimer, Radiologist, Ireland

“The Iberian Table is many things—a story, a referenced text on health, a cookbook and a memoir helping us understand the Mediterranean diet on all levels. With thorough research and the voice of a seasoned storyteller, Robin Keuneke brings the Spanish Mediterranean diet to life.” – Isabel Bertomeu, formerly nutritionist-dietician Mediterranean Diet Foundation, Barcelona

“Keuneke uses her senses to bring a country, culture, its geography, food and people alive on inked pages. It is unusual for a writer to be so good at doing it.” – Udo Erasmus, Ph.D., Author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill

“The Iberian Table, a fascinating road trip through the gastronomy of Spain, serves us on a plate the secrets of the Mediterranean diet. With two cups of grace and a pinch of passion, Robin Keuneke reveals the ancestral tradition of the Spanish people: that of simply eating our own landscape. Reading this book, you will discover that Spaniards have never been very impressed by Cordon Bleu recipes, but very attentive to fresh produce of the street markets; that a good fish doesn’t need much more than a sprinkle of olive oil to be broiled to excellence. As you will find out in the fascinating interviews with chefs Arzak and Ruscalleda, eating in the Iberian Peninsula is not a refueling chore but a destination to an after-dinner conversation that can go on forever. So take a seat and enjoy!” – Guillermo Fesser, journalist, writer, filmmaker and creator of Gomaespuma

“The Iberian Table represents the wisdom of Mediterranean women in the development of culinary knowledge for a more delicious, sustainable, and healthy diet. A complete delight!” – Alba Adat Caballero, formerly nutritionist-dietician, Alícia Foundation, Catalunya

“Keuneke introduces us all to the unique and health-promoting ‘Iberian Table.’ It is filled with traditional, flavor-packed recipes that provide our hearts, minds and bodies with an array of phytonutrients sure to promote optimal health. Enjoy!” – Donald R. Yance, MH, CN, master herbalist, nutritionist, and author of Herbal Medicine, Healing & Cancer and Adaptogens in Medical Herbalism

“The Iberian Table whisks me away emotionally, historically and scientifically to incorporate this way of eating into my lifestyle. So simple and so much fun! With Robin’s recipes I can visit Spain in my kitchen every night knowing that, in the process, I am promoting good health for my family.” – Sandy Gooch, author and natural foods retail pioneer

“A feast for the body, soul and spirit from wise woman Robin Keuneke, this book will delight your senses, and help you steer a clear path to health. Lots of Green Blessings here.” – Susun Weed, author of Abundantly Well: Seven Medicines
