Spain
Ratings1
Average rating3
The companion book to a prime-time PBS series airing in fall 2008. Mario Batali and Mark Bittman are single-minded, food-obsessed friends who are constantly on the lookout for the food, wine, and cooking that is unique to Spain--and in this TV series they find it. Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Claudia Bassols are eager to enjoy all the pleasures the country has to offer. The four of them on the road together make for a fun showcase of the pleasures of Spain, including road trip adventures, and the country's art, history, culture, and music, as it's never been seen before--all in the course of an anything-goes road trip.--From publisher description.

If someone called me on this, I'd have to delete this from my list of books read in 2009; I really didn't read it so much as browsed it. Mario is apparently some sort of famous chef (is he on tv, perhaps?) and Paltrow is along for the ride as photo candy. And there are lots of photos. And lots of recipes.
A quick little trip to Spain this summer, with lots of great food. Free, via the public library.
