Gwyneth Paltrow is currently traveling around Spain with three companions filming a new 13 series documentry to air in the fall of 2008. The four are set out to find the "perfect" meal in Spain and will also highlight various cultural aspects of the country itself.
The links listed later in this blog all recap her announcement of the TV show early Oct. in Madrid. The first link is to the actual Web site for the show which is very bland for the time being. It does have bios on all four travelers and a section for each of them to post blogs (so far there are only two entries though...). The other characters include Claudia Bassols, Mario Batali and Mark Bittman. Claudia was born in Barcelona, Spain, and is a successful movie star, bilingually. Mario is a world reknown chef who has studied at Le Cordon Bleu in London, but seems to specialize in Italian food. Mark is an author who has had best-sellers such as How to Cook Everything and has hosted his own TV shows about food. All four of these food and/or Spanish lovers will spend four months eating around Spain.

I find it interesting that Paltrow will continue to refuse to eat meat despite her culinary travels in Spain. It seems kind of rude to engage in that kind of culinary tourism, yet to turn your nose up at the local foods you're presumably there to celebrate and explore.
