Catalan cookery book
I was set thinking by a post elsewhere (seeking books to provide for prospective tenants): is there a decent book giving an overview of Catalan dishes in one volume? I have a not very good glossy pamphlet from the local maison de la presse, and allegedly-Catalan recipes in a couple of books covering all of Spain, but nothing quite hits the spot. I can cope with English or French, or I guess that I could wrestle with Catalan if I had to.

If you can get past the pounds and ounces and other Americanisms, the Colman Andrews book is really good. Apart from the recipes, he writes some interesting stuff on key ingredients of Catalan cookery and also (in a list of recommended restaurants, presumably much out of date) introduced us to the Hotel Empordan in Figueras, where we have had many excellent meals.
