Description

Bread and Oil: A Celebration of Majorcan Culture by Tomás Graves. This book explores the traditional Mediterranean dish pa amb oli, which is common to many cultures in the region. Tomás Graves delves into the history and traditions behind this simple yet healthy food staple, revealing how it reflects the character of the Spanish island of Majorca. Graves' book is a unique blend of history, culture, and cuisine, taking readers on an adventure through the sights, sounds, and people of the Balearics. The author shares recipes that showcase indigenous ingredients, such as wrinkled olives and fried sardines, which are marinated in vinegar and served with bread and oil. Originally published in Catalan, this revised English-language edition offers a comprehensive guide to an overlooked culinary tradition and the cultural transition that's changing Europe.
