A brief history of contemporary Spanish gastronomy, of the revolution that has taken us in just 50 years from the squid sandwich in the tasca to food porn on social networks, to wi ne snobs, to gastronomes specializing in Michelin stars and child prodigies cooking on television. Remartini humorously reviews that accelerated transition, drawing on dozens of books, vindicating Julio Camba, Santi Santamaría and Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, and providing an approach that is as surprising as it is funny. But this book is also a personal account of the love of food and drink, understood as pleasure, freedom and refuge for our incongruities. And it is also a small collection of short stories, which interweave all of the above. Show more
