Movie Reviews of Made In Spain
Movie Review: 5% actual cooking, about 10% useful food info, and 85% travelogue
Summary: 2 Stars
Potential buyers of "Made In Spain" should understand going in that this DVD is part of an overall foodie business drive to make Spain into the next Italy. That seems unlikely. However, having milked squeezed and boiled every last drop of profit from the brand name and lore of Italian food, there is a burning need to find new food business possibilities.
Also, buyers should be aware that the content of these discs break down to roughly 5% actual cooking, about 10% useful food info, and 85% travelogue and tourism. These are not really cooking videos, in the sense that Jacques P?pin's videos are. With Jacques, you get about 95% cooking and food info, all presented by the ever charming and congenial Chef Pepin, and maybe a small dash of filler.
Try as I might, and I have tried, I cannot get excited about Spain or Spanish cooking. It seems like some sort of step child, in all ways, to France and Italy, and if the tours on these disc are any example the culture is decidedly low wattage as well. Nevertheless, that may appeal to many Americans, eager for some new twist and happy to have something closer to home and the Hispanic cultural influences that are so common in America.
It's a very nicely and handsomely produced video series, with a host chef, Jose Andres, who is so ebullient and enthusiastic that you may have to stand back from the TV to dull the impact. No doubt this is great Spanish scenery, great Spanish restaurants, and great Spanish cuisine. But is that all that great? That's for each viewer to decide.
