I just started reading one of the best gastronomy books published in Spain in 2024, Cremo! by Maria Nicolau, a catalan chef who shows us her particular point of view about local and worldwide gastronomy, from her own experience.
Her sincere way to speak, without fears and plenty of honesty, made this book very popular and revelador.
I'm having a very funny and exciting reading till now!

1. At the beach... and in summer, like in Rio de Janeiro...
2. Tagged book, short stories about grown-up in the favela neighbourhood.

Such a wonderful history!
I'm got two versions of the book, one from 2012 and the other from 1970... I love both covers, but the translation from the second one is more formal and in a complicated Spanish writing to be understood, I'm find a little hard but is interesting to see how the way to use a language can change time by time.
#whatthedickens @Cuilin @Texreader
Today is a rainy day in Barcelona, we hope for the whole weekend, and I am wondering what kind of books would be perfect for this...
Look at these suggestions to get some inspiration...
and let we know what about if you did read some of them.

#foodandlit 2024 July | #Turkey
@catsandbooks @texreader
Looking for something to share about Turkey, I found two great restaurants to try.
One is Turco, in my neighbourhood, just round the corner where I live, and the other one, Ali Ocakbaşı walking half an hour!
Both seem to offer authentic Turkish dishes.
On my list when back from summer holiday!
(play in the comments #myfavoritecocktail2024)
One of the most famous cocktail with tomatoes is the Bloody Mary, invented in 1921, by Fernand Petiot.
Now try this easy nonalcoholic version from the cookbook La cocina española:
TOMATO COCKTAIL
Prepare in a cocktail shaker: a few pieces of ice. Natural tomato juice. A little bit of celery salt. A little bit of common salt.
Shake well and serve very cold.
Cheers!

To celebrate #NationalFoodTruckDay
I'd like to share this book, the first one about this delicious phenomenon in Spain.
Food trucks are inspired by centuries-old food carts dating back to the 17th century, and in 1936, Wienermobile became the first official modern food truck.
One of my favourites is a wine truck we can see in some events in Catalonia, https://www.instagram.com/thewinetruck.cat

I'm reading Afrodite from the impressive Isabel Allende, a Chilean writer.
That book is about afrodisiac ingredients and recipes, and almost of them are notes telling her experiences, plenty of sensuality, and erotism.
One of her more important books even becomes a movie as The house of the spirits and Of love and shadows.

pickIt is a dramatic and beautiful story with champagne as a reference.
A man who lives many adventures during the world and national wars to maintain the legacy of the best wine and champagne maker of his time.
This occurs mainly between Catalonia and France, and reminds us of the value of resilience and perseverance.

These are the books that are often looking for recipes for #foodandlit.
But depending on the country, it is quite difficult to find food. For Egypt for example I just found one, Keufta, fish fritters.
A tradicional Egyptian recipe Keufta, a little fish and potato fritters. So easily to cook... and eat too!
