Crafted in the same “refreshing” (AP), “inspirational” (Publishers Weekly) and “impeccably observed” (Eater.com) style that drove Rice, Noodle, Fish, Roads & Kingdoms again presents a book that will change the way readers eat and travel abroad. The second in their series of unexpected and delightful gastro-tourism books, Grape, Olive, Pig is a deeply personal exploration of a country where eating and living are inextricably linked. As Anthony Bourdain said: “Any reasonable, sentient person who looks to Spain, comes to Spain, eats in Spain, drinks in Spain, they’re gonna fall in love. Otherwise, there’s something deeply wrong with you.” Traveling through its key regions, Goulding introduces readers to Spain’s richly varied culinary and geographical landscape. Guided by his expert storytelling, readers will fall in love with Barcelona’s tiny tapas bars and modernist culinary temples. Explore the movable feast of small plates and late nights in Madrid. Join the three-thousand-year-old hunt for Bluefin tuna off the coast of Cadiz, then continue your seafood journey north to meet three sisters who risk their lives foraging the gooseneck barnacle, one of Spain’s most treasured ingredients. Delight in some of the world’s most innovative and avant-garde edible creations in San Sebastian, and then wash them down with cider from neighboring Asturias. Sample the world’s finest acorn-fed ham in Salamanca, share in the traditions of cave-dwelling shepherds in the mountains beyond Granada, and debate what constitutes truly authentic paella in Valencia. As Goulding’s adoptive home, Spain has a special significance and this book will be an intimate portrait of a country whose heart is best understood through its stomach. An exquisite storyteller, Goulding’s narrative evokes Spain’s multifaceted culture, remarkable people, and layered history—all complemented by stunning color photography and helpful interstitials. Whether you’ve been to Spain or only dreamed of tilting at windmills, Grape, Olive, Pig is sure to capture your imagination, your stomach, and your heart.
