I’m in love with this show on PBS. Two cooks (Mario Batali and Mark Bittman) and two celebrities (Gwenyth Paltrow and Claudia Bassols) travel the roads of Spain in a Mercedes convertible, stopping at amazing restaurants, farms, and food producers. They meet all sorts of characters and hijinx often ensue.
I have respect for Mark Bittman—the guy is an encyclopedia of food knowledge and practical, make-do recipes. I don’t know much about Mario Batali, but his line of cookware is quality stuff. Claudia Bassols just exudes passionate Spanish sexiness. It’s a fun show to get lost in for half an hour.
