Hermanas Arce

A little world of its own, a place where people come in for a meal and end up staying a while longer, as if they were at home. That's Hermanas Arce. More than six years after opening the place, its owners, sisters Ana and Elena, still aren't quite sure what to call it: restaurant, café, bar. What they are sure of is that they enjoy sharing the recipes they cook and the stories that have grown up around them, their own and those of the people who sit at their table. This book captures that spirit: simple, real dishes, born from everyday life, designed for uncomplicated enjoyment. Some recipes are a new discovery; others, an excuse to get together with loved ones. But they all share the same thing: the desire to nourish, to be with, and to tell a story. Because, in the end, it's not just a cookbook. It's the story of two sisters who learned that, when you cook with love, every dish can become a memory.
