I shall be writing shortly about the overlooked region of Navarra. It is not the first name on the lips of people discussing the cuisine of Spain. That's a pity.
The area offers so much quality food along with some ingredients that are a must for so many recipes.
Navarra is famous for its farming of ducks and also for being an area where hunting is big business and game is eaten regularly in the home and also in some superb restaurants throughout the region.

Here's a recipe for a chestnut and chocolate cake.
