A beautiful book that celebrates one of the most revered foodie destinations: Basque Country in northern Spain. If you love entertaining, then its worth buying for the pintxos chapter alone – think little roasted potatoes topped with chorizo and pork crackling; guacamole toasts topped with perfect little sardines; or mushroom tartlets with a red onion marmalade.

Felicity O’Driscoll of Cook the Books brings us her pick of the new releases.
