Sweet dishes and treats.

Leche frita

Few cultures would be adventurous enough to call a recipe 'fried milk', especially since it's made by boiling and frying. But that's the basis of this delectable treat. Great desserts don't come any easier than this one.

Cinnamon lemon flan

Calling flan a caramel custard is to do it an injustice. No mere pudding, this traditional Mexican dessert, from Spanish origins, is the crème de la crème of sweets. Of course, not surprisingly, there are a hundred and one variations on the basic recipe. But sometimes the original is so much more than one can expect, to alter it is to approach cooking blasphemy.
