La Cocina de Santi Santamaria. [El Racò de Can Febes]. La ética del Gusto
Editorial Everest, 1999. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 400. This is a book that knows what it`s about and is a fun read in the bargain. In addition to presenting a cuisine with its own "identity," this book provides a wealth of historical information on the art of cooking. Santi Santamarķa features people and characters that make his writing nigh on novelistic in its liveliness. The whole treat is served in a limber, concise, accurate prose rich in adjectives and true-to-life expressions that reveal a natural talent cured by the years and reading. In the hands of Santi Santamarķa, tradition remains alive, because though he respects and values tradition, he knows how to update it and he knows how to give it that air of novelty that surprises readers, drawing them on. Any description he makes of a dish is a master`s class, in addition to being a statement of the very personal nature of his cooking. About his refined, demanding cuisine, he himself tells us that he doesn`t "cook to feed, but to excite." His interest lies mainly in reaching those people who love cooking, who experience gastronomy in general and culinary culture in particular with real feeling and who make responsible, temperate use of their leisure time to seek the spirit of the art of cooking.
