Purchase options and add-ons

The highly anticipated first book on the Etxebarri restaurant, considered one of the best grills in the world.
Bittor Arginzoniz has achieved world fame as a grill genius with his restaurant Etxebarri, located in the farming community of Axpe, a tiny village nestled beneath mountains an hour’s drive southeast of Bilbao. When he bought the restaurant building in the centre of the village more than twenty-five years ago, he and his family rebuilt it entirely themselves. He is self-taught and has only ever worked in one kitchen – his own – where he designed and built his famous adjustable-height grills. With no other reference than the oldest culinary technique in the world ̶ fire ̶ he grills using utensils designed by himself, uses specific woods and has an obsessive search for the best product, Arginzoniz has revolutionized the way people roast meat, fish or vegetables. He cooks everything over a grill ̶ even dessert ̶ so everything has a unique taste to it. Michelin awarded Asador Etxebarri a Michelin star in 2010, describing the food as ‘an unadulterated pleasure for lovers of simply grilled and roasted dishes…’ and he is ranked number 6 in the San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2017.
He rarely leaves the restaurant except to tend to his farm animals, which supply many of the raw ingredients for his tasting menu. This book describes the man, his kitchen and his recipes in words and stunning photography.
The best place to eat barbecue, in a tiny village in Spain, one man has turned the humble grill into a work of culinary art. His secret? No charcoal

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Etxebarri is a fascinating book. It is neither a cookery book, nor a travel book with recipes, yet it covers both of those categories. It is the story of a restaurant, Etxebarri to be precise, and of its creator, Bittor Arginzoniz. And it is a story about fire and grills, and one man’s passion for cooking over wood. If this has book has done nothing else Etxebarri has made us want to head for Axpe and dine in the restaurant, and it is also an object lesson in what hard work, single-mindedness and passion can achieve."

3.0 out of 5 stars this is an odd one
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018

I'm not really sure if this is a cookbook or not.

On the one hand, yes, it does have recipes, though whether they are actually approachable by a cook lacking laser-cut custom grill pans and a wood-burning custom grill is doubtful. Someone will buy it and go all-in on the attempt, and all I can say to that guy is, shine on you crazy diamond.

But fundamentally, this is a beautifully shot, essay-heavy souvenir for someone who has made the trek to Axpe and actually eaten at Etxebarri and met Bittor. The overheated prose is spiked with classical allusions and intense, adoring hero-worship of the chef and his cuisine and his vision, and presents a deeply thorough history and description of Etxebarri. Unfortunately, as someone who has been to northern Spain but not to this restaurant, even my keen interest in live-fire cooking just wasn't enough. Getting through the first hundred pages of essays is quite a trek. You'll hear about the dude's favorite hike, for crying out loud.

Ultimately, this is a souvenir, a coffee table book for the kind of foodie who racks up restaurant visits like they're counting coup and can tell you learnedly whether Noma has a better amuse bouche than Central. If you're just into Spanish cooking and like to grill - i.e. like me - this is probably a great landing at the wrong airport. There's a really phenomenal book about the grilling of the Iberian peninsula or even just the Basque country out there, yet to be written, but this ain't it.

The other reviews are correct. It is not a cookbook. The recipes and instructions are too general.
