Cooking with Corredor
Boris Corredor, well known for his fondness for cooking Latin American dishes, treated the students in his LS 307 course (Spanish Through Literature & the Arts) to a cooking event to help them experience Latin American cuisine first-hand.
The class prepared several dishes together, all of which were featured in works the class had read:
- Chiles en Nogada (a baroque dish from Puebla Mexico)
- Gorditas (an Indigenous dish Veracruz, Mexico)
- and the most popular Latino dessert: flan.
Boris summarized the event, “We read short stories and anthropological texts on these dishes. We then got together, prepared them, and then had a nice formal lunch.”
