No eggs, no potatoes but ‘a lot of imagination’: how Spain cooked in war’s hunger years
‘A lot of imagination’ describes how Spaniards cooked during the severe food shortages that followed the civil war. A new book compiles and reconstructs recipes from that era, showing how people substituted missing staples such as eggs and potatoes with whatever was available. The collection illustrates the ingenuity and resilience of households coping with chronic hunger.
