Snacks and tapas

I love travelling: it always makes me meet different cultures, visit places caracterized from different colours and perfumes.

Flans can be served in different kind of ways: here is a delicious version with a velvet carrot and curcuma cream.

This is a simply but tasty version of shot glasses with no spicy hummus and a sensational black olives sauce!
