Flavors and memories travel through time and bring the "yesterday" into the "today." They awaken souls, unlock hearts, and let aromas diffuse, sweetening us. They open our doors for the faces that have left to take the empty seat at the table, so that the bride may dine with her daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter. And all, "like an invisible theater," become one. They open the chest of memory, and the basil emerges to scent the pastries, while the oregano unfolds its powerful aromas over the meat, and the cinnamon sprinkles the rice pudding. And finally, they season our souls with genuine aromas, scents of love that are never forgotten. That is why time, no matter how harsh it may be, bends here and leaves a crack for these memories to show themselves for a moment, to embrace us, to fill us with their fragrance of love again, and then to leave once more...

This book is kneaded with sweet memories from my mother and my bride, from your mother and bride who, like the food, have lovingly warmed our lives with abundant care, and we have much to talk about today...
