Eating & Drinking in Spanish: Reading Menus in Spanish-Speaking Countries (The What Kind of Food Am I? Series) [Paperback]

Andy Herbach (Author), Michael Dillon (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

There are plenty of general phrase books available for those traveling through Spanish-speaking countries; but this narrows the topic to reading menus in Spanish, providing a depth that the general phrasebooks lack. Food-related words and tips on pronunciation accompany Spanish/English and English/Spanish translations in a handy pocket-sized guide. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars So much better than others, February 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Eating & Drinking in Spanish: Reading Menus in Spanish-Speaking Countries (The What Kind of Food Am I? Series) (Paperback)

This menu reader is so easy to use. Unlike other menu readers which are divided into categories (fish, soup, salad), this one is an easy-to-use, alphabetically organized menu reader.The drawings in the margin are very clever and funny.

This review is from: Eating & Drinking in Spanish: Reading Menus in Spanish-Speaking Countries (The What Kind of Food Am I? Series) (Paperback)

I liked this book a lot- you know, I can't really speak Spanish, but I went to Mexico and I wanted to eat, and, you know, this book did the trick. I recommend it to anybody who wants to understand Spanish menus.
