Apartamento Cookbook #8

This eighth edition takes a thematic approach to root vegetable recipes, exploring how different underground ingredients work in contemporary cooking. Unlike previous volumes that focused on specific ingredients or flavors, this edition questions the very category of “tube.” Each recipe is accompanied by a so-called Tuber Check, a playful moment that examines what really defines a tuber. The book includes chefs, researchers and artists such as Corey Lee, Arielle Johnson, Claire Ptak, Thalia Barrios García and Motoyuki Daifu. Their dishes range from fried enyucados, salads and chilled horchata – with root vegetables or stems as the common denominator. The illustrations by Olga Prader, recipient of the Swiss Design Award, give the book a tactile and visual expression.
