The Spanish Spoon

1080recipes

Will Phaidon have as big a hit on its hands this year with 1080 Recipes as it did in 2005 with its English translation of The Silver Spoon, the so-called Italian The Joy of Cooking? First published more than 30 years ago by Simone and Ines Ortega, this enormous, best-selling collection of recipes (900 pages plus) is being billed as the "bible" of Spanish cuisine. I found copies of 1080 Recipes for sale at Anthropologie, but the book is also available for pre-order ($26.37) at amazon.com.

In New Zealand a book called 1080 Recipes would never sell. 1080 is a very controversial pest eradicator currently being used by our Department of Conservation to rid the country of possums, those furry deforestation machines. Many think it also eradicates the birdlife and any other creature that feeds on the dead possums, and that the rain washes the residue of the poison into our waterways, thus tainting the cattle which drink the water or anyone who eats the fish from those waterways. And so on with a nasty chain reaction. The name of the book would certainly have to be changed to market it successfully here!
