An easy-to-understand recipe section covering a representative group of traditional Basque dishes includes specialties such as piperrada vasca (Basque omelet), porrusalda (vegetable stew), txangurro a la donostiarra (spider crab San Sebastián style), and natillas (soft custard). The book’s most in-depth chapter discusses the many different ways of preparing exceptional fish and seafood found in the Basque Country.
