“Growing up, Gateau Basque was a staple at any family birthday or dinner. After uncovering La Vina Cheesecake in Marti Buckley’s cookbook, it’s become a family favorite and is now part of the family-function dessert rotation! Even if you don’t enjoy cooking/baking, this book is filled with stunning photos of the Basque Country and is worth the read (would even be a great coffee table book for friends and family to peek at!).” – the reviewer, BEO Board Member
If you are looking for a great Basque cookbook, look no further than award-winning author Marti Buckley’s Basque Country: A Culinary Journey Through a Food Lover’s Paradise. Not only is it filled with recipes of iconic Basque dishes, but Buckley also intertwines stories and photos of the Basque Country, culture and customs throughout the book. If you can make it through a handful of pages without running to your fridge to whip up something delicious, you’ll find yourself reminiscing over your last visit to the Basque Country or thinking about planning a trip ASAP!
The best part: Buckley’s next book is all about pintxos and comes out April 9th. Entitled “The Book of Pintxos: Discover the Legendary Small Bites of Basque Country,” it has over 70 recipes, highlighting their story and the bars they were created in. You can pre-order wherever books are sold, including Amazon.
