1. Cocina de Andalucia: Spanish recipes from the land of a thousand landscapes (April 9, 2024)
By Maria Jose Sevilla
Cocina de Andalucia: Spanish recipes from the land of a thousand landscapes invites you on a culinary journey through the heart of Southern Spain and offers a taste of its complex history and current culinary renaissance through seventy-five authentic recipes. Andalucia’s rich tapestry of flavors reflects a past steeped in Moorish, Christian, and Jewish influences, a heritage that had for too long gone underappreciated by outsiders. Maria Jose Sevilla guides this exploration by weaving in narratives of local characters, traditions, and the culinary innovations revitalizing Andalucian cuisine. The book goes beyond the familiar tapas and gazpacho, delving into dishes from Maria’s home in Aracena, near Seville. Accompanied by stories that illuminate the distinctive character of various localities, Sevilla also highlights regional treasures—such as Iberico Hams from Huelva, olive oils from Cordoba, and Sherry vinegar from Cadiz—making Cocina de Andalucia not just a cookbook but a cultural immersion into the soul of Spanish gastronomy.
2. The SalivSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes and the Women who Preserve Them (April 30, 2024)
By Karla Tatiana Vasquez
SalivSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes and the Women who Preserve Them is a celebration of El Salvador’s rich culinary heritage, artfully woven with personal stories from twenty-five Salvadoran women. Compiled by food historian Karla Tatiana Vasquez, the cookbook brings together eighty authentic recipes that carrying a thread of memory and resilience. The absence of these traditional recipes online inspired Vasquez to document the dishes that defined her childhood, leading to heartfelt exchanges with the women who shaped her culinary landscape. From Patricia’s Rellenos de Papa (reminiscent of a time marked by the tremors of the 1980s Los Angeles earthquakes) to the delicate Flor de Izote con Huevos Revueltos (favored by Vasquez’s father) and the versatile Salvadoran Pupusa, this collection goes beyond the kitchen. It narrates the collective experience of Salvadoran women before the war and their adaptation to life in the United States, ensuring that their stories and the flavors of home are preserved for future generations.
