Media Reviews
'This is another remarkable book from those nice people at Haus Publishing. This is truly quality food writing, travel writing, poetic writing, and thoroughly absorbing and charming. ... H M van den Brink paints marvellous landscapes with his words. Always well chosen, they describe scenery as well as could any travelogue. You'll seek out the dishes he describes and thumb through a few of these pages as you sit in a cafe drinking a very small, very black coffee. If you are planning a trip to Spain then consider Spain Body and Soul as your companion.' -- H M van den Brink 'It is the poetic strength and simplicity of the writing that seduces the reader.' -- Daniel Topolski The Guardian 'This is a book about food ... In a very Proustian way, about the memories of eating food. So the writer evokes for us the sight and smell and taste of food that have evoked memories for him, and with these memories the circumstances which surround the eating of that food.' Anglo-Spanish Society Quarterly Review
