"For me, like Hemingway, Spain is a country I love with all my heart. So, it makes me so glad that it has been presented to Howie Southworth to be able to write about the fervor Hemingway felt when visiting and the food that fueled that. You need a writer of the same affection. And, Southworth most definitely is. He has an ability to tell a story of his own journey around Spain, Hemingway's passion for the country and the elegant yet simple cuisine of the regions of Spain. Regions that I have visited so many times. From the relatively simple "Pan con Tomate" (Toast with a Tomato Smear - as Southworth with considerable genius calls it) which I have sampled so many times for breakfast, to the "Cochinillo Asado" (Suckling Pig) which is one of the meals I always have in Madrid. He manages to bring these to the page in a way that Hemingway would be "quietly" pleased with." - Simon Majumdar, food and travel author, Eat My Globe , Fed, White, and Blue "If you love foods with a story, one that reveals new insights and a sense of history then this is a book you will treasure, and cook from, for years. Hemingway's Spanish Table, is an homage to Spain's cuisine in a way that would have made 'Papa' very proud. A cookbook written through the eyes of a literary giant whose love for Spain knew no bounds is a high wire act that delights as it unfolds, one recipe and story at a time." - Andrew Zimmern " Hemingway's Spanish Table , a welcome addition to the literature of Spanish cuisine, combines four of my favorite things in the world: great food, the country of Spain, travel, and the works of Ernest Hemingway. How could I not love this book? It's fun, delicious, and filled with great stories." - Michael Ruhlman, journalist and author of Ruhlman's Twenty, From Scratch , and many other books and cookbooks. "Part travelogue, part cookbook, this compelling culinary journey traces Hemingway's travels through the provinces of Spain he visited and the foods he ate. Author Howie Southworth presents the allure of the culture through the culinary history and flavors of the carefully curated recipes, all the while regaling the reader with tales from Hemingway's great novels and Southworth's own insightful observations. Recipes celebrate such Spanish traditions as a perfect paella, an estofada of oxtail, and a Flamenquín chicken roulade as well as highlighting several modern twists that Papa himself would approve. One cannot travel on an empty stomach and cannot truly know a culture without tasting and learning its dishes. So sip a glass of Rioja as you cook and eat your way through this cookbook cum literary travel feast, and you just might end up booking a flight." --Linda Pelaccio, culinary historian and Host, A Taste of the Past Podcast "Spain, food, and Hemingway: Southworth explores three of the topics dearest to me, dissecting their intersection with enough style and intelligence that I'd dare say that the whole, in this special case, is greater than the sum of its (substantial) parts." - Matt Goulding, James Beard Award-winning
