At that time Antoni Fortuny still suspected that part of the boy’s mental deficiencies were due to his diet, which was far too influenced by his mother’s French cooking.

The results were not entirely as he had anticipated.
from The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón (2002). Highly Recommended.
