Basque Cooking and Lore

by Darcy Williamson

The Basque people of Spain immigrated in great numbers to America and the Intermountain West.  The Basque people have been tremendously successful in passing down their traditions and lore and maintaining a link to their culture through both cooking and storytelling.  This book provides both.

Although she claims these recipes are Basque, I don’t know of many Basques that could afford saffron and other exotic ingredients in those recipes. The ‘lore’ part is stories from America. I didn’t find them genuine or a kind reflection of the resettled Basques. By the way most Basques came to the USA as indentured servants having to pay off the cost of their trip from Spain to America as sheepherders.
