review 1: Part travelogue, part cookbook, and part TV show guide, this book is entertaining and informative even if you haven't seen the associated TV show (as I haven't). Beautiful photos of food, places and people in Spain as well as the celebrity hosts. I just arrived back from my own tour of Spain, and enjoyed all of these traditional recipes, especially since they have adapted some of the ingredients for the North American market. Can't wait to track down the show episodes!
review 2: I had wanted to watch the show but had hoped that the cookbook could instead give me some recipes to re-create at home. I still haven't watched the series, but the book is good armchair traveling and makes me want to visit Spain. However, Batali shouldn't have bothered including recip
... morees as the tastes just won't be the same I believe outside of Spain because the ingredients are just too unobtainable. I'll have to go to Spain to taste the Jamon or the fried sardines freshly caught. less

I browsed the book. The photos were nice. The mix of celebrities was a bit bizarre though.
