Camorra, owner of MoVida and MoVida Next Door restaurants, ties the recipes together with his own personal experiences and the people and places he got to know as he traveled Spain to put together this volume. This is not a book for people who don't like to make an effort in the kitchen, as most of the recipes, although not at all difficult, do require a bit of organization and studying first, like the octopus terrine.
This is however a book for anyone and everyone who is captivated, mesmerized even, by amazing food photography. Alan Benson photographed my top two favorite books from 2009. And though I don't like to shunt the food content to the background, this really is first and foremost a high impact visual extravaganza. The food and travel photography in MoVida Rustica is so fantastic, and the writing flows so well in this book, and the book just feels so nice in your hands, that even if you never cook from it, you'll find yourself opening it again and again for photographic and styling inspiration.
