About this book

In Europe, the Basques are known for their creativity in the kitchen and their long-enduring culinary heritage. In Spain's Basque Country itself, food and eating are the centre of everyday life and the focus of endless conversation. Basque women lovingly pass on their cooking techniques to daughters and grand-daughters, and Basque men, who belong to traditional cooking clubs called txokos, themselves enjoy lingering over stove and table. In recent Years, many fine cookbooks have celebrated Europe's best regional cooking, from Tuscan and Sicilian to Burgundian and Provencal. In this book, Teresa Barrenechea reveals the secrets of what until now has been an undiscovered gem among the continent's cuisines.
