Pardo Bazán published the first gastronomy book,La Cocina Antigua Española in 1913. Carmen de Burgos from Almeria would also do something similar, in 1918, with her book De ella La Cocina Moderna.

The Guisanderas Club was born in 1998 in Asturias, and has three books: Culinary Encyclopedia, The Complete Kitchen and the 1080 Cooking Recipes by Simone Ortega. In both cases, the original text remains a cooking manual, a teaching book for those who want to enter the world of cooking or those who simply aspire not to forget their roots.
