Mi Abuelita's Knowledge Of Food And Cooking
In another book from my Abuelita-Maria Areizaga de Paredes, she shares her philosophies of the kitchen and cooking. The book has a glossary of terms, sections for different types of food and sections for knowledge about food and cooking. The sections include: theories, battery and equipment, caring and cleaning of the kitchen, vitamins, condiments, the egg, fish, meat, red meat (beef) and white meat (chicken), vegetables and legumes, biscuits, the knowledge and digestibility of food, the knowledge and nutritional value of food, and the knowledge of meats for the broth.
The first section that I am translating from her philosophy book will be ‘fish’. After that, the following recipes will use fish. These fish recipes are from the same book with the soup recipes from the previous 19 posts. I will go back to the soups sometime in the future. Stay tuned. Interestingly, I did not find a sections for her philosophy of soups yet she has 25 pages of soup recipes.

Caldo De Pollo Como Consumé-Chicken Broth like Consume
Spanish Transcription
Boil a cleaned chicken and in pieces trying not to have much water, only what is needed for the broth. Put salt, onion, and garlic and when it is almost done put in a leaf of spearmint. Take it off the fire a while before you serve it. You should let it stand so that all the black stuff remains in the bottom of the cooking dish. When the broth is clear, strain the broth carefully so that you don’t stir it. Separate egg yolks calculating for each person. Put a little broth that is not very hot, but if it is boiling, it cooks the egg and it will turn into little balls and it looks very bad. Strain this over all the broth shaking well. Put the broth in an aluminum or enameled dish or put it to heat in a water bath. Serve in cups putting a wheel of lime in each cup, cut and stuck on the edge of the cup.
