Banana Leaves.
Impart a subtle anise fragrance to food and protect it while it's
cooking. Boil the leaves before using
them to keep them from cracking. Look
for banana leaves among the frozen foods in Asian, Hispanic, or specialty
markets. If you are unable to locate
banana leaves substitute with aluminum foil or parchment paper (as food wrappers).
Bergamot Leaves.
A small amount of mint can be substituted for bergamot leaves.

Languedoc-Roussillon Wines.
The Languedoc-Roussillon area produces
excellent wine in abundance - it has the largest production of any area in Europe. It’s a land of diversity, reflected in the
myriad varietals of its wines.
Full-bodied, robust wines are produced from arid soils, well-rounded
wines come from the rolling valleys, and perfectly structured wines are from
the terraces with lively wines from the coasts.
