Book Menu:
Travel around the world with a selection of fiction & non-fiction books from authors all over the globe. 

Dessert Menu: 
• Bolo Polana - A popular Mozambican dessert, this cake features ground cashews and cooked potatoes, both of which come together to make an undeniably decadent cake. Bolo means "cake" in Portuguese, and Polana is the name of a neighborhood in Mozambique's capital city, Maputo. 
• Irish Soda Bread - A rustic, quick bread that uses baking soda as a leavening agent instead of yeast, resulting in a dense, hearty loaf with a crusty exterior and a soft interior packed full of raisins.
• Banoffee Pie - This English dessert combines a crunchy graham cracker crust, soft and sweet dulce de leche, thick slices of fresh banana, and a mountain of billowy whipped cream. Everyone who tries a slice is instantly hooked!
