A James Beard Award-winning writer, Matt Goulding has never been better, writing in complete harmony with the book's innovative design and the more than 200 lush color photographs that introduce the chefs, shepherds, fisherman, farmers, nonne, and guardians who power this country's extraordinary culinary traditions. From the pasta temples of Rome to the multicultural markets of Sicily to the family-run, fish-driven trattorias of Lake Como, Pasta, Pane, Vino captures in a breathtaking tribute the diversity of Italian regional food culture.
"This book is the perfect gift or souvenir for everyone interested
in Spain. It reads like an adventure novel." - Edouard Cointreau,
President of the Jury: Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
"Goulding honours the fascinating food of Spain with an
anthropological approach. This combination of food and travel
writing and photography couldn't have come from anywhere except the
"Roads and Kingdoms" series, which continues to push out the
definition of food publishing. Brilliant." - Financial Times Best
Books of 2017
"An enthusiastic journey through some of Spain's culinary hot
spots." - Kirkus Reviews
"Goulding's presentation of the myriad Spanish gastronomic delights
from across the culturally diverse country is deliciously enticing
and thoughtfully introspective." - Booklist (starred review)
"Goulding's book leaves the reader with a pretty good idea of why
Spain deserves to be taken very seriously as a gastronomic
paradise." - Wall Street Journal
"Goulding adeptly exposes the fabric of modern Spanish cuisine and
whets the appetites for both food and travel, daring readers to
explore unadvertised adventures of Spain. This book should be
savored." - Los Angeles Review of Books
"Grape, Olive, Pig employs an impressive literary toolkit in
appreciating and savoring Spanish cuisine, with descriptions of
meals, translations of uniquely Spanish culinary vocabulary,
spirals through relevant history, depictions of current food
productions, and narratives of Goulding's food-focused travels
across Spain." - Smithsonian
"Part narrative, part how-to guide to eating in Spain (without this
book you are doing it wrong), Goulding weaves stories and
observations into an organic mosaic. Deeply satisfying for the
armchair traveler, this can't-miss book should be required reading
prior to visiting Spain." - Library Journal
"Think of this as a travel guide that's supremely unhelpful in
telling you where to eat... in the best possible way. After reading
this book, you will want the following: a giant pan of paella, a
big bowl of fabada, and as many cured meats as your stomach can
take." - Bon Appétit
"Matt Goudling has written a magnificent love letter to his adopted
home. It has all the beautiful details--the things you need to
experience, must experience--to love Spain the way it deserves to
be loved." - Anthony Bourdain
"Matt Goulding sees, smells, and hears the whispers of the
invisible spirits of Spain like no one has ever done before. The
Spanish soul runs all through his veins. This is not a book, but a
secret passage to a better world." - José Andrés
