Summary: (English version) Why, oh why?
Comment: I didn't try many of the recipes, but for starters i was particulary curious about one recipe: Orange Marmalade. Why does this book present only the "English version" and why doesn't it present also the original Spanish version. I was interested in authentic spanish cuisine, not "adapted" recipes.
But overall, a wonderful book.

Summary: 1080 Recipes - excellent basic text for Spanish cooking
Comment: 1080 Recipes is an excellent basic text for Spanish cooking. It has innumerable fish recipes that are both tasty and simple. Once the basic techniques are mastered the recipes alow for considerable innovation. A good addition to anyone's library of cookbooks.

Summary: omnivores only
Comment: I got this cookbook hoping to learn a little bit more about spanish cooking. The only thing I learned is vegans need not apply! or vegetarians for that matter.
Too bad, I was really excited to own this, now I'm selling it. Any takers?

Summary: Great Staple for Cookbook Library
Comment: Wow! This is a really comprehensive cookbook with tons of interesting recipes. It is a technical book and many of the recipes take time to create, so if you don't like spending a lot of time in the kitchen, it's probably not the book for you. I know I will never make all 1080 recipes, but I really enjoy reading through the book and have been able to apply many of the techniques it presents to other recipes and other dishes I have prepared.

Summary: An excellent guide to Spanish cuisine
Comment: I received this book as a gift and absolutely love it. The recipes are easy to follow and locate. The organization of the book could not be better. Each section is organized by main ingredient, making it simple to locate what you would like to make.
My only slightly negative comment would be the level of instructions. This is not a book for a novice cook. The recipes assume you have a good knowledge of culinary terms and techniques. This is perhaps why I like the book. As a trained chef, I am tired of books that assume the reader knows nothing.
