Coconuts and Collards

When her family moved from Puerto Rico to Atlanta, Von Diaz traded plantains, roast pork, and Malta for grits, fried chicken, and sweet tea. Brimming with humour and nostalgia, Coconuts and Collards is a recipe-packed memoir of growing up Latina in the Deep South. The stories center on the women in Diaz's family who have used food to nourish and care for one another.

Cand familia ei s-a mutat din Puerto Rico in Atlanta, Von Diaz a facut schimb cu patlagina, friptura de porc si Malta cu crustacee, pui prajit si ceai dulce. Plin de umor si nostalgie, Coconuts and Collards este un memoriu plin de retete despre cresterea unei latine in sudul adanc.
