Book Review: La Paella: Recipes for Delicious Spanish Rice and Noodle Dishes by Louise Pickford

La Paella: Recipes for delicious Spanish rice and noodle dishes La Paella: Recipes for delicious Spanish rice and noodle dishes by Louise Pickford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We received a paella pan for Christmas so I was looking for instructions on how to use it and various recipes.  In addition to several basic paella recipes, it also includes various rice dishes, noodle dishes, soups and sweet treats.  There is a helpful section called The Spanish Storecupboard, which details and describes all the ingredients you will need. 

I was able to get this book from my local library, not in print, but from Hoopla.  I read it on my iPad so I was able to see the beautiful photographs.  It was simultaneously published in London and New York, and includes both American and British (metric) measurements.  Overall, I would recommend it as an excellent book of paella and related recipes.
