Jacket Description/Flap: Commendation Quotes: In Latin America there is a tenuous distinction between street food and the little dishes we eat as savory pick-me-ups with coffee or drinks at casual restaurants or at home. Tamales are sold door to door by street vendors, but they can also be the centerpiece of the Christmas Eve dinner. A fluid understanding of this central part of Latin cooking makes Sandra A. Gutierrez's Latin American Street Food a welcome addition to any cook's library. The recipes in this colorful, accessible, and enthusiastic cookbook can be a part of any formal or casual meal. They are delightful, easy to make, and will bring the vibrancy and excitement of the Latin street food scene to your table.--Maricel E.
