About the book:
A journey through fictionalized family memories (and occasional historical facts) accompanied by bakery recipes.
The fascist great-grandfather, the anarchist strike that changed the name of the pastries, the most buttery and sublime croissants, María joining Peronism behind the scenes of her family and a bit of bartering of papaya for alfajores of chocolate in years of Argentine neoliberalism.
Three generations linked to bakery and pastry in an intuitive way: from the bread dispatch of Giovanni and Luisa, Italian peasants installed in a small town in the South of Santa Fe at the beginning of the 20th century, passing through Celso and María's bakery in 1940 , to a venture in the back of a family house in the 90's
