Description

The woman who wrote the most influential and popular book of the 20th century in Argentina was a cook: Doña Petrona C. de Gandulfo.

Millions listened to her on the radio, saw her on television, and prepared her recipes. But the details of her life are little known: born in Santiago del Estero at the end of the 19th century, Petrona was a charismatic and determined entrepreneur who ran away from home at fifteen, soon became one of the driving forces behind gas cooking in the country, and at 90 years old was still answering phone calls from thousands of followers.

The story of that unique woman, an icon of our national cuisine, who wrote the book with which grandmothers, mothers and granddaughters learned the art of good eating.
