Sabor Dominicano Mamajuana Individual Bags 194grs

This is a book about my life in London some time ago and how I found myself wrapped up in the intricacies of London life, customs and culture, comparing them to Spanish ones. It was hilarious to my friends. Shocking to myself.
Do you think English was my only problem? Not at all.
Check out this craziness through my eyes and see how I managed sanity and handled all situations.
Let’s dive in!

When Italian migrant Francesco Pellegrini first arrives in London, his goal of attaining wealth and respect burns through his veins, fuelled by a desperate desire to make his mother proud. Building his life for this purpose, his goal finally seems to be within reach- that is, until he hears of his mother’s untimely death. Unable to accept the news, his grief consumes him; his life crumbles around him as he is plagued by a perpetual nightmare that haunts him day and night.

With no end in sight for his pain, his decision to end it all seems final. Yet a series of strange occurrences prompts him to contact an unknown counselling service that promises healing through ‘new methods’; what’s the worst that could happen?

But when the therapy leaves him in a waking dream, powerless to discern what is reality and unable to contact the outside world, he’s left with two choices; escape, or remain a prisoner of his own grief forever.

No risk means no more hurt. No more disappointment. No more heartbreak.Shy and unassuming, Jade Taylor has grown content with her risk-free life in the quiet suburbs of South East London, but when a charming character bursts into her life and threatens to sweep her off her feet, she is faced with a choice that could change her life forever – if she will take the risk.Despite her reservations Jade dares to gamble, letting down her guard and embracing the maelstrom of emotions from which she has been numb for so long. Swept along, Jade begins to remember how it feels to love and be loved, but when dark clouds loom on the horizon will her choice tear her apart, or will it be the only thing holding her together?

When a young girl, rejected and abused by the world, stumbles upon a utopic and long-lost civilisation, her world takes an abrupt turn. Taken in by the Children of the Night, she begins to rebuild her life and in time learns to trust, to hope, and to love. But with love comes the inevitable sting of loss, made all the worse when it is brought about by the hands of one closest to her.
Jealous and resentful, a young man commits an act too dreadful to comprehend. Lost and hopeless, he struggles to find meaning for his existence, but the universe has its own plans for him. Balance must be restored, for daylight is coming, and with it the darkness of mankind.
A tale of love and loss. Of betrayal and repentance. Of redemption and hope for a brighter tomorrow. After all, our lives are but ripples in the river that flows.

Cuando el emigrante italiano Francesco Pellegrini llega por primera vez a Londres, su objetivo de conseguir riqueza y respeto arde por sus venas, alimentado por un deseo desesperado de hacer que su madre se sienta orgullosa. Construyendo su vida con este propósito, su meta parece finalmente estar al alcance de su mano, es decir, hasta que se entera de la inevitable muerte de su madre. Incapaz de aceptar la noticia, su dolor lo consume; su vida se desmorona a su alrededor mientras se siente asolado por una pesadilla perpetua que lo persigue día y noche. Sin que se vislumbre un final para su dolor, su decisión de terminar con todo parece definitiva. Sin embargo, una serie de extraños sucesos le impulsan a ponerse en contacto con un desconocido servicio de terapia que promete curar a través de “nuevos métodos”; ¿qué es lo peor que podría pasar? Pero cuando la terapia lo deja en un sueño despierto, impotente para discernir lo que es la realidad e incapaz de contactar al mundo exterior, le quedan dos opciones: escapar o permanecer prisionero de su propio dolor para siempre.

Cuando una joven, rechazada y abusada por el mundo, tropieza con una civilización utópica y perdida, su mundo toma un giro abrupto. Acogida por los Hijos de la Noche, comienza a reconstruir su vida y con el tiempo aprende a confiar, a tener esperanza y a amar. Pero con el amor viene el inevitable aguijón de la pérdida, empeorado aún más cuando es provocado por las manos del más cercano a ella.

Celoso y resentido, un joven comete un acto demasiado terrible como para ser comprendido. Perdido y desesperanzado, lucha por encontrar significado a su existencia, pero el universo tiene sus propios planes. El equilibrio debe ser restaurado, porque la luz de un nuevo día está llegando, y con él la oscuridad de la humanidad.

Una historia de amor y pérdida. De traición y arrepentimiento. De redención y esperanza por un mañana mejor. Después de todo, nuestras vidas no son más que ondas en el río de plata.

I love cooking. I love eating even more. But what I really love are the memories created around food. We carry them through our lives and pass them on to our children and loved ones. I hope you join me in making memorable moments with these recipes.
