La receta

Miki, a young Cantonese woman living in Paris, is possessed by a particular fascination with French culinary memory. When she discovers an old notebook signed by the mysterious Henry Cornil, she embarks on an unexpected search: to find the clue to a forgotten dessert—the pink sugared almond cake—and, through it, to those of chefs who have made cooking an art of living, of thinking, of loving. From the tables of Parisian bistros with Michelin stars to the luminous simplicity of Greek villages, Miki advances in search of a precise and true flavor. Along the way, explore what it really means to “eat well”: a gesture of love and beauty.
