Book Summary
A cookbook with the soul of a family notebook. Ana María Preckler compiles recipes from her mother's cook and her own mother, Anita, written when she was about to get married and was unfamiliar with the kitchen. The result is a practical and endearing guide that combines simple, affordable dishes with more elaborate preparations, explained in clear and direct language. Ideal for those who wish to learn to cook from scratch or rediscover the flavor of traditional home cooking.
What is it about?
This book was born from a personal notebook the author wrote at twenty, when she was preparing for marriage without any culinary knowledge. Over six months, she meticulously recorded what her mother's cook and her own mother, Anita, were cooking. Thus, a collection of home-cooking recipes was woven, with dishes ranging from the most basic and accessible to more complex recipes. All are explained simply, maintaining the essence of the original instructions, and offer attractive and appetizing proposals that invite you to cook and enjoy traditional gastronomy.
