When you are a father-to-be like myself, you spend a lot of time dreaming of how your world will expand, but you also can't help but think how that world is going to shrink a little, too. In short, I will not be taking a newborn on a road trip around Spain but thanks to this wonderful book I can at least have a pretty terrific vicarious experience. A companion piece to the PBS series starring Gwyneth Paltrow & Mario (lose the crocs) Batali, this book is filled with great recipes, beautiful pictures and a lovely playfulness. -- Craig Hoover — From December 2008
