The title of this newsletter that returns today after the August break, heads one of the opinion articles with which the field veterinarian and writer María Sánchez delights us. With her reflections we celebrate recovering the thread of this space and we claim, as she does in this beautiful text, those small daily gestures to which we barely pay attention.
In his case, gestures like writing at the kitchen table, or like depositing a dozen freshly caught eggs in a cardboard box wrapped in paper to soften bumps and fractures with the cardboard from the books that come home, and thus “continue those customs that we sometimes despise without realizing it”. We invite you to resume our daily life observing the beauty of those small gestures.
– Don’t do it in the restaurant. Neither the client is always right nor is everything fair. Rosa Molinero talks with managers of different establishments about those unpleasant behaviors that they encounter too frequently and that they consider to be genuinely disrespectful.
– Flax oil. Is it really as healthy as they say lately? Hada Macià has launched the question to a series of experts, who highlight the virtues of the high omega-3 content of flax oil, but without failing to also observe all its drawbacks.
– Classics for summer. Jorge Guitián has selected eight books that we propose as succulent reading on vacation. From the reviews of the first critic in the history of Spain to Harold McGee’s benchmark for understanding the chemical processes of food or the work of Colman Andrews on Ferran Adrià.
– Natalia House. Yaiza Saiz has visited the successful restaurant of Carles Abellán in Formentera, an establishment that she opened with the Tapas 24 formula but that she would end up turning into Casa Natalia, in honor of her couple and her partner, who is in charge From the living room. They open at night and have an interesting and extensive wine list.
– Spicy cockles. Whether as a starter or to accompany main dishes, this salpicón with cockles as protagonists is an excellent option for lunches and dinners in August. And, if we follow this recipe by Ana Casanova, it is very easy to prepare.
