The Cookbook Club: 17th-century Spain

Each month a significant cookbook will be chosen for discussion and hands-on cooking.

In May, it's "Arte de cozina, pasteleria, vizcocheria y conserveria (Art of Cooking, Pastry, Savory Pastry and Preserves)" by Francisco Martínez Montiño, 1611
The most influential cookbook of early 17th century Spain, it gives us access into what was prepared in royal kitchens of what was then one of the most powerful countries in the world. Montino includes an early European recipe for potatoes, which he calls testicles of the earth. A fascinating document, it was reprinted for more than 200 years.

Join Maite to discuss this cookbook and prepare a 6-course meal adapted from its recipes.
