A Taste of Latino Cultures/ Un Toque De Sabor Latino

A native of Colombia, Kunzel has lived in the U.S. since he was 17. Although he spent many years working in the telecommunications industry and is now a project management consultant, he has long enjoyed an active interest in cooking. Here he channels that interest into a unique bilingual text offering brief descriptions of several Latino countries and cultures--their populations, geographies, and histories--coupled with recipes and learning extension ideas. Featuring information and recipes from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Columbia, the text offers educators, students, and interested general readers an introduction to some of the Latino cultures represented in the ever-increasing population of Hispanics in the U.S. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
