Taste of place
El sabor de cada lugar
Detrás de cada plato hay la historia y las costumbres de una ciudad: por qué el sushi era la comida rápida de Edo, en qué casa antigua empezó el pato laqueado de Pekín, si la historia de la pizza Margarita es verdad o leyenda. 47 platos emblemáticos con su origen, cómo comerlos y las normas locales, y además «qué comer cerca» de 249 lugares y fiestas: imprescindibles, dónde comer, normas en la mesa y precio orientativo.
Sachertorte
Vienna's most famous chocolate cake, over which two old houses fought legal battles for decades.
Pastel de nata (pastel de Belém)
Invented by the monks of the Jerónimos Monastery; the recipe is still locked in a secret room.
Fish and chips
Jewish immigrants in London's East End opened the first shops in the 1860s, once wrapping it in old newspaper.
Paella valenciana
Named after its pan; Valencians say only the version with rabbit and chicken is the real thing.
Neapolitan pizza
The original soft, thin pizza with a puffy rim — though the Margherita story may have been made up later.
