Karlos Arguiñano Launches 'Cocina para Todos' With 100,000-Copy Holiday Release

The 560-recipe volume centers on affordable, seasonal home cooking for households with tight budgets.

Overview

  • Arguiñano presented the book at his K5 txakoli bodega in Aia, with the volume available in stores from November 12 under publisher Planeta.
  • He says he designs recipes for families living on about €1,000–€1,200 a month, prioritizing simple dishes made with accessible, seasonal ingredients rather than luxury or exotic products.
  • Family collaborators feature prominently, with 85 recipes signed by his son Joseba and the desserts section by his sister Eva.
  • Planeta has printed 100,000 copies for the pre-Christmas launch, following strong performance of previous titles that include roughly 115,000 copies sold last year and more than 1.5 million under the partnership.
  • At 77, the longtime TV chef underscores cooking as a cultural practice that brings families together and urges shared meals to counter childhood obesity.
