Title: Not too authentic
Review: I have seen the book in a bookstore but i haven't bought it because i was very surprised to see that the Spanish Basque recipes are anything but authentic: "patatas a la riojana" is NEVER cooked with butter and the main ingredient is "chorizo sausage" which is missing in Hirigoyen's recipe. "Bacalao pil-pil" will never work if you follow the recipe in the book because you will need more olive oil for that amount of cod and onion is certainly never used for this dish. It is a very difficult dish to make. I don't understand why Hirigoyen says it's easy. There are many more examples why i decided not to buy the book even though it looks very pretty.
Is the review positive or negative?
