Reviews

The best for being creative in the kitchen and having a balanced diet. There are yummy, fantastic recipes in this book. You will learn how to choose, mix and prepare ingredients that you could imagine. Recipes are easy to follow and presented in an order that makes preparation efficient. This book will also help you to shift your habits to healthier and more balanced diet foods! Quail Paella, Perol, Kale & Cauliflower Soup are my favorites. You can also find many yummy desserts too… Definitely 5 stars and highly recommended…

Each succulent recipe is simple to understand, beautifully illustrated and I want to stop everything and start cooking as soon as possible. This is a fun, delicious and worthwhile journey through the food life of a well traveled woman,… complete with tasty stories about her very lucky friends and families. Thank you Carmen!

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. There is a big variety of recipes for delicious and healthy meals. It's easy to follow, no need for any special equipment! My family is literally in love with some of the meals I cooked from the book: our favorites are the ‘Asian style baked salmon’, ‘Lentils and chorizo soup’, ‘Cauliflower and kale soup’ and we absolutely cannot live without the ‘Vegetable broth’. I literally use it in everything I cook: soups, stews, stir fry veggies, etc.

I really like this cook book by Carmen Delgado. It is very easy to follow, and has delicious recipes. What it makes it unique in my opinion is the details she shares about her while creating the food. With every recipe you get to know the author better and get a sense of her life and the source of her inspiration. You can really sense the immense work that has been put into this book and that makes it for me even more valuable because you add an emotional component on top of the deliciousness.

Carmen Delgado has created a fabulous cookbook in ‘Traditionally Rustic Food’. These recipes are straightforward as truly good food should be - healthy, easily obtainable ingredients that can be prepared without having lots of culinary experience. I appreciated that the book's font is on the larger side...easier to read when cooking. And the photos! Everything from the drinks to the desserts looks amazing. When it comes to food, basic is best, and Ms. Delgado has nailed it here.
