Before I started reading ''The Lavender Companion'', Ivisited the author's [https://www.pinelavenderfarm.com/ website] and there'm not familiar withs a picture of a slice of chocolate cake on the homepage. I have to confess my ignorance of the Spanishdon't eat cakes and desserts -language literary tradition so forgive my generalisation herebut I wanted that cake viscerally.
