Hemingway’s Spanish Table, a welcome addition to the literature of Spanish cuisine, combines four of my favorite things in the world: great food, the country of Spain, travel, and the works of Ernest Hemingway. How could I not love this book? It’s fun, delicious, and filled with great stories.

For me, like Hemingway, Spain is a country I love with all my heart. So, it makes me so glad that it has been presented to Howie Southworth to be able to write about the fervor Hemingway felt when visiting and the food that fueled that. You need a writer of the same affection. And, Southworth most definitely is. He has an ability to tell a story of his own journey around Spain, Hemingway’s passion for the country and the elegant yet simple cuisine of the regions of Spain. Regions that I have visited so many times. From the relatively simple “Pan con Tomate” (Toast with a Tomato Schmear – as Southworth with considerable genius calls it) which I have sampled so many times for breakfast, to the “Cochinillo Asado” (Suckling Pig) which is one of the meals I always have in Madrid. He manages to bring these to the page in a way that Hemingway would be "quietly" pleased with.

Traveling, eating and drinking across Spain in Ernest Hemingway’s footsteps has been commendably accomplished by the cookbook writer Howie Southworth, who could double for Stanley Tucci and has lived in Spain.
