This morning, I was listening to the radio and, suddenly, the presenter of the programme interviewed a Chef, from Navarre, Angelita Alfaro, to talk about her new book, and it made me laugh, when she said the title of the book: “Mis postres” ("My desserts"), because it resembles the title of my blog: "Mis fotos” ("My Photos"). I know that they are not the same subject; but, in this case, are themselves related, because, in the book of Angelita, there are many photos of desserts.
Moreover, I wanted to talk about this book, because I love desserts; I have a sweet tooth.
