Buen provecho! Bilingual Cook Book

San Salvador: Reprocentro, una division de SIGMA, S.A., 1976. Comb-bound octavo (20.5 x 14 cm.), 131, [19] leaves. Index. Facing pages with same numbering. Text in Spanish and English facing. Final unpaginated leaves are lined blanks headed "Notas/Notes". A similarly titled work was issued by the same organization in 1969. It is unclear if this is an updated version of that, and thus a second edition, or if it is a new work offered by the same organization. An interesting expat community cookbook issued by an American Methodist church group operating in San Salvador, published just a few short years before the onset of El Salvador's Civil War, in 1979. The recipes - a mix of local and Anglo-American fare - are attributed and many are quite detailed. There is an interesting section at the front that examines local fruits and vegetables, and a very thorough index at the rear. The illustrated cover depicts a woman standing with her back to the reader, holding a basket of fruit on her head. Some light staining to edges of text block; small ink squiggle to final pages of notes. Near very good. [OCLC locates four copies of this 1976 publication].
