Imagine with your Nose




While Menu Del Dia by Rohan Daft is a Spanish cookbook with no pictures but simple very doable recipes, Cook Espana Drink Espana is on the other end of the spectrum with pictures that make you wonder what the constituents of the plate are. Take Paparajotes for example - Lemon leaves deep-fried with eggs and cinnamon. So all the times that I smelled the lemon leaves in gardens, they were just eggs and cinnamon away from an exotic dessert. But its not that simple, a retinue of things and procedures go into it. But thats where the fun is.
Each section offers a mention of local specialities and details on wines.

Essay to movie night

I was reading A merging of head and heart  by Judith Dancoff  and came across Barefoot in the Park .  I started watching the movie and not so soon the characters had knichi and pelminchki. They have to be  part of Albanian cuisine  but are more fictional. May be ouzo is bozo. I have always liked the idea of making up food for pages. Knichi is supposed to be popped in and not nibbled. Do you know of foods that need to be had in certain ways to taste good? As the movie progressed, my taste buds recalled the Bhelpuri  in the kitchen.
