Jose',

Come to Boise Idaho where the Basque culture is alive and well. Ansots restaurant, Epi's and the Basque Market cook up original Basque cuisine every day! Almost like being in Bilboa

We are coming to Boise from CDA. Which restaurant would you recommend?

I have been to Basque country several times and I am really impressed with the way their culture expresses itself, from the pelota court in every village to the pintxos on the bar. At the same time, there are regional differences, Navarre in France is not Navarra in Spain but you can see enough of the similarities to appreciate the differences. I have both of Marti`s books, I particularly like that both are heavy on text, on stories, histories and descriptions, the background information that makes the culture real and the recipes more exciting. I recommend both books.

We are going to Bilbao and San Sebastián in September! So glad to have found you Marti! Reading your books is the perfect introduction.

I have and I loved it and all the food. And…I would encourage you to look into the Basque cuisine that was brought to California and Nevada by the pensions serving shepherds…and the public. It’s fabulous and unique
