My Mother’s Bolivian Kitchen offers delicious and unique recipes for the palate of anyone willing to try something different. The author includes memoirs of growing up in a culture where eating is taken quite seriously, sharing a rare glimpse into the Bolivian way of life. The 150 recipes presented in this book are easy to make and, although some of the ingredients are not available in the United States, the author provides substitutions to achieve similar results in the cooking.
Bolivian cuisine is quite distinct from that of other Latin American countries, both in preparation and ingredients. It incorporates foods developed by the Incas, such as quinoa and chuño (freeze-dried potato). Among the recipes included is a Bolivian pastry for the mid-morning snack, called salteñas; its warm golden crust, when broken open, releases a pungent smell of exotically spiced meat with vegetables and raisins.

José Sánchez-H. was born and raised in Bolivia. A filmmaker, scholar and professor, he is the author of The Art and Politics of Bolivian Cinema (Scarecrow Press, 1999). He teaches in the Film and Electronic Arts Department of California State University, Long Beach.
