As a Spanish chef in America, I am so jealous of this book. Nobody embraces Spain in the heart of America with more poetry, passion, and perfection than Katie. She and her husband Félix are family to me, and I feel great joy seeing how she has grown as a person and as a chef.

Katie Button is one the most inspiring young cooks who received the title of Best New Chef during my tenure as Editor in Chief at Food & Wine. I’m incredibly excited to now be able to replicate her fantastic Spanish-by-way-of-the-South food from this amazing new book.

We had the most amazing holiday. Paladar y Tomar listened carefully to our requests and arranged everything we wanted. Where they thought there was a better way to do things, they would suggest this and were always right! The result was a seamless trip of our dreams. We are very appreciative of all of our travel agency's efforts. Everything was beautifully arranged, from the wonderful guides who proudly showed us their special part of the world, the drivers who treated us beautifully and got us from A to B without a hitch, the gorgeous hotels in which we stayed to the amazing food that we were able to taste and appreciate. We couldn't have asked for more and would therefore recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a truly special visit to Spain.
