Cookbook "El alma de la cocina gallega" by Mónica Prego (Spanish edition)

"El alma de la cocina gallega" is a heartfelt collection of traditional Galician recipes. Simple recipes, the kind grandmothers used to make at home by the fire, which author Mónica Prego has lovingly compiled. Some come from family recipe books, others from testimonies of mothers and grandmothers, and many are memories Mónica cherished and was able to recreate by testing and adjusting the ingredients.

The original book, “A carón do lume”, written and first published in Galician, is now available at Claudia&Julia translated into Spanish. Inside, you’ll find traditional Galician recipes as Mónica learned them in her home village, with step-by-step instructions and photos also taken by the author. Recipes for bread, empanadas, or sweet stews cooked by the warmth of the fire and the voices of her grandmothers, made with seasonal, humble, and authentic ingredients—and above all, prepared slowly, calmly, and with soul.

A tribute to timeless Galician cooking, born from Mónica’s passion for preserving and reviving the customs of her homeland surrounding its oldest and most traditional dishes, many of them prepared over a wood-fired stove.

Mónica Prego is the author of the blog Pandebroa, a cooking blog with traditional Galician recipes and other everyday dishes, through which she shares the essence of her homeland, Galicia. In addition to her blog, she has actively participated in the “Cocinar con Claudia&Julia” Facebook group and collaborated with Magimix and Claudia&Julia by sharing recipes and answering questions.
