Las mejores recetas de la historia

What was Marie Antoinette's favourite sweet treat? Which flavours delighted the Athenians in the time of Alexander the Great? Did Cleopatra and Julius Caesar enjoy a classic Roman bread when they met? Would Joan of Arc have liked Alsatian onion soup? And what was Frida Kahlo's quintessential Mexican dish?

María José Martínez, the creator of the successful YouTube channel "Las recetas de MJ", offers us a book to learn from and to savour. Across thirty stories, the author looks back at the most notable figures of each century and also pays tribute to all those flavours, ingredients and culinary discoveries that have emerged in different parts of the world. Thanks to the recipes that accompany each chapter, you can try Christopher Columbus's favourite stew, start the day like a genius by eating the same breakfast as Albert Einstein, or prepare a famous Mexican dish following the recipe that Frida Kahlo used.
