About This Book...
Dustjacket Blurbage...

"Olla Podrida was evolved from a long study of Latin-American and Spanish cooking begun by the author as an instructor of Home Economics in California. There she came into contact with students of Spanish descent who brought recipes from their homes, where they had been used for many years." She then searched libraries for Spanish-derived recipes and finished her research with a tour of the world to give her first-hand contact with Spanish and Spanish Colonial cuisines.

"Olla Podrida is a veritable Cook's Tour of Spanish kitchens."

"From the mother country and from the colonies, and from the South and Central American countries of onetime Spanish rule have come recipes that will make your mouth water."

"Many of the recipes have been adapted to the resources of the average American kitchen."
