Coarse bread rubbed with tomato or garlic and then bathed in olive
oil, is common to all the Mediterranean cultures. On the island of
Majorca, it is known as pa amb oli, bread and oil. Tomas Graves
takes this healthy peasant staple as a starting point to explore
not only Mediterranean cooking, agriculture, and traditions but
also the historical events that have rescued this simple dish from
disappearing along with a way of life that had remained essentially
unchanged since Roman times. In Bread & Oil Tomas Graves
celebrates the Majorcan character as reflected in its eating
habits. He makes the sights, sounds, scents and people of the
Spanish island spring to life so brilliantly in this creative
triumph. Part adventure, part history book, part travelogue, part
restaurant guide and part cookbook, the reader is charmed
throughout. Recipes reflect the indigenous ingredients; wrinkled
olives made with olive oil, lemon juice and crushed garlic; fried
sardines topped with sauteed onions and marinated in vinegar served
cold with bread and oil, and guacamole with tomatoes and onions.
Originally published as Volem pa amb oli in the native Catalan
language of the Balearics, this new revised and updated
English-language edition of Graves' book offers an informative
guide not only to an overlooked culinary tradition, but also to the
immense cultural transition that's changing the face of Europe.
