Product Description
Product Description
This cookbook constitutes a culinary exploration of the foods and wines of the Pyrenees region, whose mountains stretch from the beaches of the Mediterranean to the Atlantic coast. The author includes recipes from the Pyrenees' lowlands, which are known today as Catalonia in both Spain and France (Roussillon), Languedoc, Andora, the Midi Pyrenees, Aquitaine, the Basque country in both France and Spain, Asturias, Navarra, and Aragon. Each of the 86 recipes opens with a short narrative introduction that highlights the differences and similarities in the various cooking styles of this exciting culinary region that has been influenced by so many cultures. A separate chapter on wine summarises traditions that date back to the time of the Greeks and Romans and were kept alive in monasteries during the Middle Ages.

An excellent survey of changing Catalan food styles,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tastes Of The Pyrenees Classic And Modern (Hardcover)
The Pyrenees region blends both French and Spanish cuisine and culture, offering dishes which are a product of different cultural traditions. Both traditional and modern dishes from the region are included in Tastes Of The Pyrenees, Classic And Modern Range from Catalan Beef Stew and Oxtail Stew to Lobster and Rabbit with Lemon Butter. An excellent survey of changing Catalan food styles emerges. No photos, but the dishes are relatively easy to reproduce and don't need them.

This review is from: Tastes Of The Pyrenees Classic And Modern (Hardcover)
I enjoyed that these recipes don't take all day to prepare, yet they are very authentic. The history of the region, wines and cultural influences are all addressed in this book as well, it's more than just a bunch of recipes! A nice addition to my cookbook collection.
