Souvenir. Pasteles, viajes y recuerdos: Aliter Dulcia (Isabel Pérez Sardiña)

In Spanish. 

We are about to embark on a journey that offers the perfect souvenir: the one that is kept deep in our memories, the one that endures and that we can recreate in our own kitchens when we feel nostalgic for our favorite destinations.

With various recipes from Palermo, Rome, and Naples, Italy is very present in Souvenir, as its pastries and culinary art make it the perfect destination for gastronomic travelers. But the Mediterranean doesn't end there: in Souvenir, we also find sweet memories from Istanbul, Marrakech, and Athens. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and its refinement are brought to us through recipes for Viennese cakes such as Topftentorte and Palatschinke. And there are plenty of delicious surprises from places like Edinburgh, Munich, and Copenhagen, capitals that know how to combat inclement weather with the most comforting cookies and cakes. Of course, France, with its puff pastry and butter, also has its place in Souvenir, which includes several typical sweets from Paris and Bordeaux. And two cities renowned for their pastries, each in its own way, couldn't be missing from our journey: Lisbon, with its famous Pastéis de Belém, and London, home of the best apple crumble.

Souvenir: Cakes, Travels, and Memories is the second book by Isabel Pérez that all her admirers and her more than 100,000 followers on Instagram have been waiting for.
