An exploration of cookery in the Mediterranean region before
Columbus returned, bringing tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkins and peppers, chillies
and corn in his wake. Barbara Santich wrote her doctoral thesis on Catalan
cooking of the late middle ages and this wonderful book gives the essence
of her conclusions and provides brilliant recipes to recreate the savour
of time and place. Excellent notices from Nigel Slater on BBC radio, Silvija
Davidson in Scotland on Sunday, and Gay Bilson and many others in the Australian
press, in which country it first appeared. |
