Welcome to the first comprehensive bilingual culinary dictionary created specifically for food, wine, and travel aficionados. Teacher, translator, and author Lourdes Castro deftly explains the differences—subtle and otherwise—among the cuisines of Spanish-speaking regions and offers a pronounciation for each term. Eat, Drink, Think in Spanish features 2,000 entries for ingredients, cooking methods, condiments, traditional dishes, kitchen equipment, and beverages. The Spanish-English portion will help you break through the language barrier to interpret and understand food and drink en español, and the English-Spanish part will reveal the most accurate translation for your best-loved foods and favorite cooking techniques.
Lourdes is the author of two cookbooks Simply Mexican (2009) and Eat, Drink, Think in Spanish (2009). She earned the distinction of having her first cookbook, Simply Mexican, selected by Food & Wine magazine as one of the 25 best cookbooks of 2009. Lourdes is currently working on her third cookbook due out Spring 2011, which will focus on Latin grilling.
As a cookbook author and teacher, Lourdes divides her time between Miami and New York City. She serves as a part-time instructor at New York University's Food Studies department where she teaches courses in food science. Lourdes is also the director of the Biltmore Culinary Academy, a recreational cooking school located within the historic Biltmore hotel in Coral Gables, Florida.
