Host An Unforgettable Book Club Party

I love this versatile cilantro rice recipe. It has the kick of pepper and the tang of lime. It can be served with many different dishes, but is especially great with Indian and Mexican food.

This mole, which is a spicy chocolate sauce, is a recipe from Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel.

This Mexican cake has the flavors of apricots and limes, frosted with a meringue icing.

Start this wonderful fiesta flan very early in the day, or even the day before serving, so the flan has plenty of time to cool and settle, and the flavors time to meld.

A delicious hot and spicy salsa recipe that my son’s good friend shared with me.

These tortillas are thicker and puffier than the store-bought tortillas. If you’ve never tried a thick and chewy flour tortilla, well, you’ve been missing out.

Bunuelos are flat fried sugar cinnamon sweets found in most Mexican bakeries. Bunuelos are also very addictive!

Mexican food is my family’s favorite and Granny’s Carne Guisada Recipe is at the top of that list! I call this recipe Granny’s Carne Guisada because that’s who sweetly shared her loved-by-many recipe.

The refreshing and tasty Central African Fruit Salad is a blend of fruits, peanuts, and fresh mint, with an interesting addition of avocado. It is topped off with a tangy, lightly sweet dressing.

Rice fritters are a popular Brazilian street food. They are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They also taste great, are easy to prepare, and can be served with just about anything.
