Pink Panther Cocktail Party Deck or Taste of Latino Cultures un Toque de Sabor Latino

Pink Panther Cocktail Party Deck: 52 Pink-a-licious Drinks to Seduce and Entertain

Author: Adam Rock

In this handy little guide major mixologist Adam Rocke joins forces with retro artist extraordinaire Shag to offer atomic-age drinks for any mood, event, or lifestyle - all inspired by, and starring, the Pink Panther. In 52 recipe cards, some of them appropriately pink, the book presents such luscious libations as the Clouseau, a blend of bourbon, cherry liqueur, triple sec, and light cream that pays tribute to the bumbling but beloved inspector; the Pink Panther, a mix of gin, dry vermouth, crème de cassis, and other exotic ingredients guaranteed to slake any thirst; and the Inspector Dreyfus, a sweet-sexy mélange of bourbon, gin, and cherry syrup that's ideal for retro relaxing. Rocke's expert creations and Shag's bold, '50s-style graphics make this guide the fun last word on the subject.

This informative, bilingual book familiarizes both non-Hispanic students and those of other Latino heritage with the cultural basics of five Latin American countries-Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which were included because of their substantial immigrant population in the United States. The author uses his considerable expertise with Latin American cultures along with his lifelong avocation of cooking to make this cookbook also an introduction to familiar countries. The cover is colorful, eye-catching, and inviting. The text lacks photos, but the illustrations are informative. The maps, flags, and recipes add excellent regional flavor. Each chapter focuses on a country and offers general information, geography and climate, population, government, history, economy, culture, and a vocabulary of words derived from Spanish. Each is broken into two sections for English and Spanish, but it might be a better learning tool if the two versions appeared alongside. The end of each chapter provides a professional educational focus including a learning launch, more learning opportunities, reading lists, and Internet resources. The appendixes include Additional Learning Opportunities, Additional Information and Reading, Additional Resources, Bilingual Cook's List of Terms and Ingredients, Bibliography, Recipe and Ingredient Index, Index, and About the Author. Quality basic cultural information is assembled in one easy, bilingual text, which may be used as a classroom resource, research or assignment tool for teachers and librarians, or simply as a helpful instrument to inform students of other cultural backgrounds.
