| Reviews | “A book by craftsmen astute in their ecosophy, who discover the enchantment of treasures safeguarded in purity, with a heartfelt, obsessive approach, that worships the most delicious transparency. An ode to the ancient ideal of intimate, intuitive and poetic wisdom of the product and its human geography.” JOSEP ROCA , El Celler de Can Roca, Girona “I am totally convinced that Spain is home to some of the best products in the world, such as the unrivalled Iberian ham, and for this reason I have always had and will always have the utmost respect for Spanish producers and chefs. YOSHIHIRO NARISAWA , Narisawa, Tokyo “Spain has a unique diversity of terroirs and marine ecosystems, from the Atlantic to the vast expanse of the Mediterranean coast. This richness, together with a deep tradition and appreciation of its products and gastronomy, makes Spain one of the world’s paradises for food lovers of the finest product. MIKAEL JONSSON, Hedone, London “Product Temples will undoubtedly be a reference for all Spanish chefs and amateurs, but also for those of us who appreciate their products from far away”. PASCAL BARBOT, L’Astrance, Paris “The product is blood, it is religion. Chefs who sin with lustful dreams, but who only caress, always respectful, in their humble temples with passionate kitchens. A product that is a flag. We are a nation.” JOSÉ ANDRÉS , ThinkFoodGroup, Wahington DC |
