The life of Catalina Fiol, a village woman with character and drive, ahead of her time, would be a life full of difficulties, where her passion for cooking would become her connection to the world and her means of expression.

Catalina is a much-loved figure in the village of Binissalem and her fame as a cook is reinforced by the mystery of her recipes, the secret of which she has never revealed to anyone. She keeps them in a pomegranate-coloured leather bag and not even her children know where this is hidden.

This book is the culmination of a life dedicated to traditional Majorcan cuisine with creativity and love, and is the account of a time and customs that are now long gone. At the same time, it is an opportunity to discover the secrets of the Cuina de na Catalina… Cooking with a story.
