This book is developed around a modest stew that the protagonist is preparing to eat at home. And, from that humble and traditional dish, the consecutive chapters tell us about the neighborhood store that sells prepared food, about the ingredients of the stew –meats, legumes, vegetables..., about water and wine and the accompanying bread. And through all these elements, the author delves into everyday life, memories of childhood and beyond childhood, in the literary pages in which food is the protagonist. / Un cocido es el punto de partida de un bellísimo libro sobre la comida, la vida cotidiana, los recuerdos y la literatura… «Voy a comer.» Con esta escueta frase arranca este libro sobre la comida. Sobre la comida y la vida, la comida y los recuerdos, la comida y la literatura. No es esta una narración sobre alta gastronomía, ni contiene recetas elaboradísimas y rebuscadas, ni habla de chefs mediáticos. Este libro se desarrolla alrededor de un modesto cocido que la protagonista se dispone a comer en su casa. Y, a partir de ese plato humilde y tradicional, los sucesivos capítulos nos hablan de la tienda de barrio que vende comida preparada, de los ingredientes del cocido –las carnes, las legumbres, las verduras...–, del agua y el vino y el pan que lo acompañan, del mantel y los cubiertos, de las aceiteras y de la sal, del proceso de cocinado y de las mujeres que preservaron y transmitieron el saber culinario de generación en generación... Y a través de todos estos elementos la autora se adentra en la vida cotidiana, en los recuerdos de infancia y de más allá de la infancia, en las páginas literarias en las que la comida es protagonista.
