Abstract:

This is the first Spanish textbook to use food as the vantage point from which
to learn language and acquire cultural literacy. It presents a rich
introduction to food and food practices across the Hispanic world. It serves
advanced secondary-level/high school students and students in third- and
fourth-year Spanish at the university level who are furthering their knowledge
of Hispanic cultures. 

Information is organized according to topics and key concepts, with historical
and literary texts acting as enrichment and support for cultural concepts.
Each chapter is comprised of a main reading on a key topic (for example, Aztec
food practices) and followed by smaller sections on particular concepts or
artifacts related to the main topic. There are sections on related language
expressions, topics for discussion and suggested activities. Each chapter also
contains illustrations in the form of colour photographs. Suggestions for
video, audio and web links are listed for each chapter.

The book has been successfully used in the author’s university classes on food
and culture over a number of years. It provides an attractive alternative to
well-established curricular offerings because it allows for the discussion of
culture and literary texts in a context that is both familiar and appealing to
students. The textbook includes multimedia presentations that make the
material and concepts easy to grasp.
