A bilingual Anglo-Italian collection. In The Overturning of the Roles, she writes: "The key is always nomadic. / The lock is still. / I am the key, yes, furiously the key, / a butterfly turning a thousand times / around your portal. / I travel not to see you, in order to think of you, / and maybe to love you better.

Yet, the Thai national cuisine has gained a high degree of global recognition and admiration despite Thailand being a relatively small country. Is this down to sheer luck, its being an extensive work of art, or, possibly, because of scientific literacy? The Science of Thai Cuisine: Chemical Properties and Sensory Attributes approa...

They link their activism to the sensory and emotion...

Parte da un case study etno...
