197610256San 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. Reprocentro, una division de SIGMA, S.A. unknown
