      A year ago today, I introduced you to what for me are my reference books on gastronomy: 1080 recipes by Simone Ortega; Modernist cuisine at home; Entre brasas by Rafael Benayas; Savors of India by Manjula Balakrishnan and Morocco, the Mediterranean cuisine.

      Today, April 23, Book Day, I would like to show you again some of my favorites:

      -Happiness, by Carme Ruscalleda. It is a marvel, bringing you closer to her philosophy and to that temple of cooking, unfortunately now closed.

      – Recipes from my house. Andoni Luis Aduriz. Unlike the previous one, this is not a book about Aduriz’s cuisine or his restaurant… it is the classic recipe book, the recipes of his mother… And what recipes, I can assure you.

      -Casablanca, Morocco’s hidden corners. Narguisse Benkabbou. Moroccan cuisine cannot be missing among my must-haves. I love it. This book is beautiful and very interesting. There are classic recipes, but also renewed dishes. One of the dishes that I prepare with more success when I have guests, a lamb tajine, is from this book…. I say no more 🤭

      -The Flavors of Raj, David Burton. A book of history and, at the same time, a whole gastronomic journey. Essential to learn more about Indian cuisine, and to differentiate what is native to India, and what the British brought from there, adapted and renamed.

      – The mysteries of the Kamogawa tavern, Hisashi Kashiwai. It was recommended here some time ago by @lorenahidalgojoseparmenteros and I join her recommendation. It is a novel… but almost palatable. I am finishing it and it is a real delight. If you like Japanese cuisine…. Do not miss it!
