The author of Lindaraxa's Garden has very kindly invited me to write a guest post about the soufflés we cooked the other night. Please go and read it here, and all the other terrific recipes that she makes. The story of Lindaraxa's Garden is written here. I have not yet been to the Alhambra Palace in Granada, so initially I assumed this was the author's garden at her home in Florida. However, it was also the same name of her home in Havana, which she left in 1960, so my initial assumption was not too wide of the mark.
By one of those extraordinary quirks, it has now turned out that the author of Lindaraxa is related to a friend of mine that I have known for a very long time, since my days in Hong Kong. I had not been in touch with him for a while, and last thought that he was still living in New York, but he has moved to Miami, and we have been in touch. A small world, and indeed an even more international tale, all thanks to a soufflé.
