I'm reading Afrodite from the impressive Isabel Allende, a Chilean writer.
That book is about afrodisiac ingredients and recipes, and almost of them are notes telling her experiences, plenty of sensuality, and erotism.

One of her more important books even becomes a movie as The house of the spirits and Of love and shadows.

It is a dramatic and beautiful story with champagne as a reference.
A man who lives many adventures during the world and national wars to maintain the legacy of the best wine and champagne maker of his time.
This occurs mainly between Catalonia and France, and reminds us of the value of resilience and perseverance.

Nice pic, took in Barcelona in the openair book market in the Ronda de Sant Antoni, in 1915.
It happens every Sunday till nowadays, but a little more organised!

(A quote from the tagged book traduced for Catalan)

In Barcelona there many Philippine restaurants and two of the are more popular, Kasarap and Los Hermanos.

“Humm, what can I eat today?!“ This is not s question that should be taken lightly. It depends on how we're committed to a more responsible diet, among others things...
As result of this consideration the good thing is have a set of recipes inspired by seasonal ingredients, and this is exactly what this small collection of books, La cuina de festa, offer!
