You know how much I love to cook and how food is a way to bring my culture and my heritage to my home, sharing it with family and friends! That’s why I’m so happy to be inviting you to join me in attending the Latin Food & Wine Festival!

The festival features samples from the diverse cuisines of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain & Portugal), Latin
America, and the Caribbean. Everything from paella, to pupusas, to empanadas, to mofongo, and
everything in between. Beverages include the full gamut of wines, sangría, rums, pisco, and other sumptuous spirits and libations. I can hardly wait, Que rico!!
