New Art of Cookery: A Spanish Friar's Kitchen Notebook by Juan Altamiras (Hardcover)
New Art of Cookery explores Spanish food culture through a classic, 1745 friary cookbook that remixed the flavors and techniques of earlier local cuisines. This, the first English translation, sets the original book in its historical context and gives cooks' guidelines to help readers enjoy the traditions, flavors and roots of real Spanish food.
