The history of Galicia was built at the foot of the hearth. Maybe not the history of great feats but, indeed, the history that really matters – the history of our people, the everyday one, that of dreams and hopes, of sorrow and failures, of memories of people gone, and of confidence in tomorrow. Because we are a country with an ancient link with cooking, and it is there, at the foot of the hearth, in that space of family unity and friendship, that our essence lies. 2
