Description

"Marta's and Marianna's Culinary Adventure continues Vicky Ayala Richardson's personal journey of searching for Basque connections. Marta and Marianna, a dynamic and persevering mother and daughter duo, provide a lively (and purely fictitious) tale of family love. They introduce the reader to a colorful cast of Basque characters and equally colorful Basque culture. The preparation for a family wedding-set in Chino, California, and starring its Basque community and Basque Club-unfolds quickly as Marta and Marianna launch into swift action. Woven into the frantic and fanciful search for a special family recipe, area peek into the inner workings of txokos (Basque men's cooking clubs) and connections in far-off San Sebastián, Basque Country. Included are recipes for a chocolate confection, Basque Cake, and a Family Lamb dish. Marta and Marianna's Culinary Adventure will enlighten while providing a few chuckles at the twists and turns in the duo's pursuit of "that very special family recipe.""-- Provided by publisher 114 pages : illustrations ; 18 cm.
