Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Eat your way around the Basque country!
Basque: Spanish Recipes from San Sebastian and Beyond
What you need to know before your trail
In Basque, José Pizarro will take readers on a journey around this magical place, taking inspiration from traditional dishes and local ingredients, and adding his own unique twist. From the delicious bite-sized morsels known as pintxos Basque-style tapas to more hearty main meals and sumptuous desserts, José will show you how easy it is to prepare Spanish food at home. The cuisine of this region is wonderful to share with family and friends but it’s also about informality and not being a slave to your stove.

José is a regular on BBC 1’s Saturday Kitchen and Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, amongst others.

He travels to San Sebastian and wanders around the old town to visit the ‘pintxos’ bars -( bit like tapas)
If you really want to go that bit further and go on the foodie trail – the author provides a list of restaurants at the back of the book. In the UK Pizarro’s in London is his place to eat
