In Spanish. Warmly inscribed & signed by Ventura on the front free endpaper. Canarian cuisine is varied, healthy and very tasty, but also a great unknown, even among Canarians themselves, because each island has its own recipes. In this book, the author collects 100 recipes of traditional Canarian cuisine, to which she gives her personal touch. It is an updated cuisine, with the same flavours as always, but taken to a healthier level. Less fat in the preparations, less sugar and more efficient cooking, so that we spend as little time as possible in the kitchen. 

You will find a complete compilation, from starters, through to the famous Canarian mojos, tasty and light salads, spoon dishes that will delight even the most spoon-loving, vegetables and legumes, meats and fish and, of course, the most delicious Canarian sweets. In addition, the author tells us about the Canarian pantry. A complete section where the main ingredients of the islands' cuisine are described, their origins and history. There is also a glossary of culinary terms specific to Canarian speech. A journey through the islands through their flavours, in which you will discover their great gastronomic wealth.
