About the book >.>.> One of the books I con- sulted in preparation for my trip was British author Jan Read's tiny Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Spanish Wines-which in- cludes brief notes on Spain's regional gas- tronomy. In his chapter on Catalonia, Read recommends, among other eating places, the dining room of the Motel (now Hotel) Ampur- d?n in Figueres, describing it as a "highly so- phisticated restaurant started by Josep Mer- cader, founder of the new Catalan cuisine.' These few words were, in a sense, directly re- sponsible for the existence of the volume at hand. My interest in other Mediterranean cui- sines had by this time taught me, inter alia, that the cuisine of Catalonia had ancient roots and was still full of undisguised references to the cooking of medieval times and even to that of the Romans, who had once occupied this part of Spain-and thus the notion that there might be a new Catalan culinary idiom, pre- sumably inspired at least in part by the tradi tions of the distant past, Nº de ref. del artículo: Batch-FM345-G-8352
