«Cuina! O barbàrie» is the cooking essay by Maria Nicolau i Rocabayera, published by Ara Llibres in hardcover (272 pages, in Catalan).
Maria Nicolau champions the pleasure of cooking in a society that eats without cooking. Cooking is not about following instructions but improvising, taking risks and deciding; the book combines history, science, nature and technology to explain everything from the invention of the pot to why we ignore much of Mediterranean fish. More than a recipe book, it proposes a sustainable, coherent and meaningful approach to cooking.
Born in La Garriga in 1982, Maria Nicolau is a professional chef; for over twenty years she worked in restaurants in Catalonia, Spain and France and runs the restaurant El Ferrer de Tall.
For a general audience (aged 16 and over) interested in cooking, gastronomy and sustainable food, with more reflection than recipes.
