Lord Gauranga's forest (Navadvipa),  is the essence of all uniqueness and magnanimity, and is overflowing with the shoreless nectar ocean of pure and splendid divine love of Shrimati Radha for Lord Krishna.

 

A description of Lord Gaurangas forest (Navadwipa) from Navadwipa Shataka: http://www.gaurangapada.org/navadvipa-shataka/1950-024-verse.html

 

The following recipe is made from pine nuts. Pine trees grow in huge forests and the nuts from these trees are carefully and painstakingly removed from the pine cones.
