The book is pictured below and is written in Spanish but it is hoped that it will be written in different languages in due coarse. It is a cookery book with a difference and was written by members of the group - "Mujeres del Mundo Babel" (http://www.mujeresdelmundobabel.org/) which is a group living in Spain but a lot of the members were originally from many different countries around the world. There are traditional recipes from twenty different countries with some of my doll pictures by the side of each appropriate recipe. There is also a little about the culture of each country.
The dolls pictured below are dolls which I brought back from Spain.
To see more pictures and information about the dolls, please see the website. Carole.

Thnaks for your comment :)
Thank you Nukke. Yes, it was a fantastic trip! Thank you for your comment, too. Carole.
Carole and Cris it was great having you at the "Saborea la Interculturalidad en Bilbao" book reception event. Coming all the way from Walles was a significant contribution to the visibility of the book project. And over all, bringing the beautiful dolls to share with the Bilbao society.
Thank you for sharing the experience with Mujeres del Mundo Babel from Bilbao.
