Casa Marcial. La cocina de Nacho Manzano

Casa Marcial is not only the valuable recipe book of a prestigious restaurant and a manual of cooking techniques: it is an evocative account in words and images of how one of the two most unique Michelin stars has developed in a village of few inhabitants in Europe. It is also the portrait tribute to a family and its effort of two generations to turn a humble bar-shop into a benchmark of today's gastronomy. And it is, finally, the first great document on the trajectory of Nacho Manzano, the chef who has managed to review and expand popular Asturian recipes while developing a radically unique cuisine based on respect for indigenous products, sustainable production, and the techniques that favor the immediacy of the preparations.
