Armando Scannone was not a chef by trade; he was a civil engineer with a refined palate and a passion for precision. In the mid-20th century, he noticed that traditional Venezuelan recipes were being lost as home cooks relied on intuition rather than measurements. To save these flavors, he spent years testing and documenting recipes with scientific accuracy.
Mi Cocina, which translates to "My Kitchen" in English, is Scannone's magnum opus – a comprehensive cookbook that showcases the diversity and richness of Spanish cuisine. The book is a culmination of Scannone's years of experience and research, featuring over 1000 recipes, from classic tapas and paellas to lesser-known regional specialties.
