RODEN, CLAUDIA
Award-winning cookery writer Claudia Roden introduces us to the history, culture and food of Spain; a country of flavour, passion and great traditions. Her previous book, Arabesque (2005), sold 32,000 copies to date (TCM) Both The Book of Jewish Food (1999) and A Book of Middle Eastern Food have sold 20,000 copies (TCM) Roden's great gift is to conjure up not just a cuisine but the culture from which it springs' Nigella Lawson 'Claudia Roden is no more a simple cookbook writer than Marcel Proust was a biscuit baker. She is, rather, memorialist, historian, ethnographer, anthropologist, essayist, poet ...' Simon Schama 'Every one of Claudias books introduced us to a delicious new world' Sam and Sam Clarke.
