The barnacle goose (eBook)

Which goose is that? Breno Lerner has finally put together the chronicles and reflections he has been writing in his column "Kitchen Chats", published since 2001in several newspapers and magazines. The result of putting them together like this, is a great conversation that alternates themes like gastronomy, culinary, food, going back and forth to the kitchen. After all, which goose is this barnacle? What was served in the last supper at the Titanic? How the last Imperial ball has finished? How the sailors of the Great Navigations were fed, long before the refrigerator and the microwave came along? Who cut the ox cubes that democratically fit today in every kitchen? Which was the first cookbook, the first known written recipe? There are some other recipes, also very curious. Anyway, you start reading The Barnacle Goose and you are unable to stop. But isn’t exactly that what they say about eating?! This is certainly the goal of Breno Lerner: to serve his chronicles as if they were an exquisite meal.
