[Sca-cooks] A new book

[Ana Valdés]

The idea with the book is quite interesting, he follows the "cardinal sins" and
collect recipes adequate to each of these, greed, gluttony, anger, pride, etc.
Very similar to what Dante Alighieri intented to do when he wrote the "Divina Comedia"
when  he placed the sinners in the different circles of Hell depending of the sin they
committeed.
Weird occupation in a gloomy and dark Saturday evening, should say yes to a invitation
to dinner instead to be absorbed in books about food and sins and tabbos :(
