Sabroso or Nutrition for the Culinary Arts

Sabroso!: The Spanish-American Family Cookbook

Author: Noemi Taylor

ÂЎSabroso! is a compilation of over 200 recipes, menus, and the stories of four lively, Spanish-speaking women who formed new homes and a close friendship far from their native homes of Spain, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia. Food has always been central to the friendship between the four women. From the first get-together, to every picnic, barbecue, birthday, party, holiday, and milestone shared through the years every woman brought a special dish made from a recipe from her native country adjusted with American ingredients. When they first moved to America they each realized how different the food was from their home counties. So they soon began to adjust, swap, debate and refine their recipes. This book is a collection of these recipes and the stories of their friendship and traditions lovingly compiled by the daughter of one of the women.

This is a marvelous cookbook filled with excellent, mouth-watering recipes and lore about South American cuisine. The book has a comprehensive index at the back, and each chapter has its own table of contents. All recipes are easy to follow and are prepared with ingredients that are easily found in most supermarkets. Through the various stories that precede each chapter, one comes to know the four women who inspired this book. The four friends met in a small town in Ohio almost 24 years ago and have maintained a close bond throughout the years in addition to sharing many family recipes. The following are some of the South American recipes here: Sweet Potato Soup, Spanish Turnovers, Baked Corn Pudding, Marinated Tomatoes, Buenos Aires Ravioli, Lamb Chops with Lemon Sauce, Honey Marsala Ham, and Mango Cream.
