Not Just Tacos by Shirley Solis

Shirley Davila Solis was born in Quito, Ecuador. Her family migrated to the United States when she was 9 years old. As an immigrant, she learned to embrace the difficulties and opportunities the "American Dream" has to offer. As a Hispanic living in Miami, and while traveling extensively around the United States, she realized people around our country do not really understand the Latin culture...but want to! This inspired her to write a cookbook of the most authentic food in each country in Latin America. She is in essence using food as a "bridge" to unite cultures.
