In the early hours of the morning, when their men set out onto the dangerous sea, the fishermen’s wives are at home preparing this delicacy, tormented by fears for the safety of their loved ones. Mylene Mathias learned the carefully preserved recipe from her mother: a short pastry crust filled with a special jam made of coconuts, cinnamon, limes and other exotic ingredients. "I have already baked some for my boyfriend, of course," says the beautiful islander. "The most important ingredient is the love you put into making them". In the photo, Mylene is wearing the traditional hat of Les Saintes which is thought to have its roots in Asia.
