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.
