Von Bremzen was born in the Soviet Union and is the coauthor, with Welchman, of the well-known Please to the Table: The Russian Cookbook (LJ 12/90). But she's been fascinated by Latin culture and food, she says, since her Moscow childhood, when many of her friends were the children of Latin expatriates. The recipes in her lively new book come from South America, the Caribbean, and, to a lesser extent, Spain and Portugal. The first chapter includes drinks, dips, and snacks; the last one, called "Fiesta," offers Roast Suckling Pig, Catalan Christmas Pig, and other feast-day recipes. In between are recipes for every course. Though they may not always be particularly authentic versions of Latin dishes, they are enticing and mouth-watering. For most collections.
