FRIDAS FIESTAS - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Frida Kahlo was perhaps the most important woman painter in Mexican history. She was married to Diego Rivera, artist and revolutionary, and together they were responsible for introducing the tenets of modernism into Mexico. Their life together was unconventional and often sensational. This is an account of many of the important and happy events in Frida Kahlo's life as remembered by her step-daughter Guadalupe Rivera. She has structured the book around 12 significant events taken from the year she spent living with Frida and her father. Birthday parties, national holidays, picnics in the mountains, and a baptism are recounted with warmth and humour. The stories include recipes that Frida and Guadalupe cooked together, guavas poached in syrup, chillies in walnut cream, limes stuffed with coconut, chicken in pipian sauce, fish baked in Acuyo leaves, to name but a few. As an accompaniment to these dishes there are over 100 photographs of both the recipes and the Mexiacn locations referred to in Guadalupe's insight into the life of this great artist and the exotic food of Mexico.
