Papalosophy. A Spanish cookbook for the *LIFE GLUTTON* (where one serving is never enough)
Barcelona chef and tragic foodie Joel Serra Bevin (aka Papa Serra) today launched his Kickstarter campaign to print his debut cookbook Papalosophy.
Born in New Zealand with Spanish roots, former Masterchef finalist, Joel, together with Mexican photographer Aldo Chacon, has created a truly original cookbook that captures their passion for Spanish food and sometimes uncontrollable ‘joie de vivre’.
The recipes
Joel was inspired to write Papalosophy by a lifetime spent seeking authentic flavors and creative preparations, with influences from his Catalan family, world travels and an obsessive study of the world of gastronomy and nutrition. The book includes Spanish and Catalan classics like Fideua with Squid Ink Allioli, Pulpo Gallego and Leche Merengada, as well as creations like Membrillo-Roasted Pumpkin with Almond Cream, Green Gazpacho with Sumac Yogurt and Saffron-Pulled Chicken with Blackened Corn. Expect almost 80 easy-to-follow and entertaining recipes that you can enjoy for the pictures, and for the stories.pap
