En savoir plus sur le livre
On New Year's Day, friends and family gather at Carmen Teresa's home to celebrate. A neighbor gifts her a blank notebook, sparking lively discussions on how to fill it. This leads to an outpouring of stories from her loved ones, capturing the essence of various Latin American holidays, including the procession for the Lord of Miracles, a special birthday, the Night of San Juan, and Palm Sunday. Each tale, rich with family tradition, is interwoven with a common theme: food. From scrumptious tortillas and coconut sherbet to chiles rellenos and codfish stew, the stories highlight the flavors that evoke cherished memories. Following these heartwarming narratives, author Lulu Delacre shares recipes for the delicious dishes mentioned. Initially aiming to compile family recipes for a traditional Latin American cookbook, Delacre discovered that the flavors of childhood often unlock deeper memories. Her beautifully stylized linocuts add a visual delight to the text. Young readers who enjoy Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate will appreciate this blend of culinary and emotional nourishment. (Ages 9 and older)
