A journey through sensory memory where cooking is presented as a prelude to pleasure. Allende brings together stories, reflections and recipes with evocative names such as coral sauce, drunken pears or the soup that drives away thoughts, seasoned with irony and a playful approach to desire and sensuality.

Recommended for Allende readers and for those who enjoy books combining literature, memory, humour and gastronomy.
