A Late Dinner: Discovering the Food of Spain

Acclaimed food and travel writer Paul Richardson first visited Spain as a humble Inter-Railer with just enough phrases to get by. Some years later, following a chance posting to a Madrid food fair, he became hooked on the glorious fusion of old and new at the heart of Spanish culinary culture and decided to move to Spain for good. It was to be the beginning of a lifelong love affair with the country, its culture and its food. In A Late Dinner, Paul takes an extended journey around Spain to get to the heart of its food and the culture of those who grow and cook it. He depicts the dramatic changes that have gripped Spanish life over the last century, exploring the extremes of culture and food from the rustic to the avant-garde.
