Movie Reviews of Made In Spain
Movie Review: Spanish land, Spanish food
Summary: 5 Stars
Jose Andres is a Spanish chef who owns a couple of restaurants, one outside Washington DC, the JALEO, and another (the BAZAAR) in Beverly Hills."Made in Spain" is a PBS production in which chef Andres alternates between the kitchen of his home in DC and different regions and restaurants of Spain, usually replicating at home what he sampled in Spain; for instance, after eating a magnificent dish of fried monk fish in Spain, he transports the viewer to the US and prepares a similar repast in his kitchen. The monk fish can be substituted by any other firm-fleshed fish, and the results will be excellent. I know this because Mr. Andres prepares his fried fish the way I prepare mine, which is unfailingly good, and requires only the simplest of treatments with flour, egg and hot oil.
Mr. Andres is a delightful host who knows his stuff. He is also funny, speaks with an appealing accent, and spreads good cheer all over the place. He has a deep knowledge of Spain and what is raised, or fished, or consumed there. He is from the Asturias region of Northern Spain, where he takes the viewer to partake of, among other things, the Sunday cheese market in Cangas de Onis. After his visit he returns home to create a tomato salad with Afuega'l Pitu, a cheese that is available in this country. From Galicia he shows the fishing, preparing, and eating of octopus; in Madrid he samples churros with chocolate; and from a small town in the Basque country he raves about the local black beans (alubias de Tolosa) and consumes a rare steak prepared on a grill fired by home made charcoal. The piquillo peppers are explained in the Navarre section, and from Catalunya he offers a mushroom picking expedition and a dissertation on the delights of the local, bubbly, Cava wine. In Andalucia he drinks some fresh gazpacho, eats fritters made from tiny shrimp, and explains the solera system for aging Sherry wines. There are essays on the saffron from La Mancha and on the wines of La Rioja. He ends the second volume of this 2 DVD set with a tapa of Golden Delicious apple balls in a reduced Rioja wine and brandy sauce with vanilla ice cream balls that looks absolutely scrumptious.
There is nothing phony about the stuff found in this work. The photography, menu selection, regions of Spain, and feel of these DVD's all ring true; and the charming Mr. Andres is a wonderful companion to travel with. Highly recommended for foodies, the curious, and those who are just plain travelers.
