Received my copy on Saturday and have gotten through some of it. From what I've read so far I have nothing but praise for the book. Much more than recipes and a how to on curing - it goes into lots of detail around the traditions and customs. For anyone considering whether they need another book on the subject I would say this one from an overall perspective is a book that anyone into curing will appreciate on many levels.

Having recently had a birthday and failed in my hints to the missus that I'd like a copy, I treated myself.

What an excellent book - for the recipes, pictures and the text! It's good enough as a coffee table book but also informative and entertaining. As well as the recipes you'd expect, there are a good few which are hard to find or just unheard of outside Spain.

Just got this book - absolutley love it.

If I had one suggestion (so far) that would be to have a much more indepth instruction on Spanish/continental butchery - but that would probably double the size of the book.

If anyone has a decent 'how to' type reference on continental butchery then please share as I wouldn't mind knowing how to dissect out the 'secretos' from a carcass.

Looking very good ! My copy finally arrived today, I've managed a quick perusal before tea so i'm getting ready to settle down and have an in-depth read before bedtime - first impressions are really good, so can't wait to try some of the recipes.
