Welcome to our new recipe column, ¡A comer!. Each month, we will share a new recipe that celebrates Latine cuisine and foodways.
Food is a delicious form of culture and a phenomenal way to pass on knowledge and tradition. It can even serve as a means of exploring personal identity and the state of the world. In this monthly column, we will mix in some historic context, little-known facts or breaking news that connects what we eat with who we are, where we have been or where we are headed.
Do you have a favorite Latine dish or family recipe? We’d love to get your suggestions or to feature your recipe on Hola Cultura. Send us an email, contact@holacultura.com.
