From Cuba, its rich and deep musical tradition is represented by CocoTorres, a prolific musician and singer who captures the richness of the “son”, who forms the basis of the modern salsa music.

I am writing with exciting news about the LTB International Cookbook: I proof-read it last week, and it’s at the printer’s now J. I can’t wait to start cooking them next week! We received a nice selection of appetizers, salads, main dishes, and of course desserts ranging from local (New England) fare to tasty dishes from as far away as Russia, the Philippines many places in between! We are very close to our matching grant goal of $5,000 (with $600 to go!), so the good news is that for each cookbook you purchase for $10, the Lynn Time Bank will receive another $10 to help cover our operating and program expenses. Nancy, Board members, and I will be able to deliver the cookbooks to you personally. Please let me know how many you’d like, and thank you for your support.
