Book Reviews of My Mother's Bolivian Kitchen: Recipes and Recollections
Book Review: Unselfish Beauty
Summary: 5 Stars
As a fellow Bolivia-born american, I treasure the gifts and wisdom that is shared in the pages of this magical book. It holds ageless, priceless recipes that have been shared through time and generations by our Bolivian families. Within these recipes, Jose also tells a story of the culture and beauty of our country, Bolivia, that is full of passion, flavor and richness, much like the food.
I am proud of this man for his unselfish desire to share this wealth of recipes and recollections with me and the world. I attribute this book and my final return to Bolivia after 20 years, with the start of my quest for a greater balance in my life. Thank you Jose!
Summary of My Mother's Bolivian Kitchen: Recipes and Recollections
More than a cookbook, My MotherÂ?s Bolivian Kitchen is a memoir of a Bolivian childhood. In addition to a comprehensive collection of Bolivian recipes, for everything from salteas (meat-filled pastries) and quinoa soup to picante de pollo (spicy chicken), Sánchez-H. shares many childhood memories. He takes the reader to his Aunt Nazarias sixty-ninth birthday party to feast on picante de pato con chuño (spicy duck with freeze-dried potatoes; to observe El DĂa de Todos Santos (All Saints Day) when bread is baked in honor of the deceased; and camping in the mountains where the memory of his motherÂ?s food leads him home. These memories, among others, demonstrate the importance of food in Bolivian culture.Latin American Books
