Pros & Cons
Pros
The book is a joy to flip through, the recipes seem attainable, and the writing is inspired. Excellent book with acessible menu items for an authenticate taste of spain. This is a great cookbook for people who want to dine sensibly but to dined fine.
A taste of spain in america provides an insight into spanish cuisine and, in particular, tapas. The book includes a list of the most important ingredient for each dish.
There are a lot of little things about this book that endear it to me. Beautiful book, beautifully written and filled with beautiful pictures. This book is a treasure.
Chef jose andres has some of the most interesting and creative food around. His multitude of restaurants speak to his versatility and ability.
The recipes are easy to follow, once you find the ingredients. The pictures show me what the end product is supposed to look like and with plating suggestions. It is not always easy to find some of the ingredient. Easy to follow instructions.

However i find it troubling that in the very first recipe traditiional garlic and oil sauce allioli a la catalana that the amount of olive oil 1 12 cups in the list of ingredients is too large by a factor of 3
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Im inferring this because the recipe says that it makes about 1 cup inconsistent with the amount of oil used
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Moreover i found a recipe on the internet which is practically identical in the list of ingredients but which lists using only 12 cup of olive oil
