These recipes are from Spanish speaking countries. You will note a high number of recipes from Mexico. This is because my parents were both born in Mexico: Hidalgo and Mexico City. Although I listed the country of origin for each recipe, keep in mind that the recipe is not always exclusive to that country. Many countries are influenced by their bordering countries. Some recipes are not what most children would find delicious, but they do give them an opportunity to taste a bit of the culture of other Spanish speaking countries.
