Foodie Films: Tortilla Soup

May 5, 2009 · WCC Administr@tr · 3 Comments

foodiefilms-7001648Happy Cinco de Mayo! It’s a time to celebrate Mexican culture and cuisine and we’re doing just that today! To celebrate, I’m watching the movie, Tortilla soup. It’s a wonderful movie that reflect delicious Mexican cuisine and family oriented culture…

tortilla_soup-9619652
Retired Mexican-American chef Martin Naranjo shares an L.A. home with his three gorgeous, but single, adult daughters. Though he long ago lost his ability to taste, Martin still lives to cook incredibly lavish dinners for his loved ones and to serve them in a family-style ritual at traditional sit-down meals. Although the women humor their father’s old-fashioned ways, each of them is searching for fulfillment outside the family circle. College student Maribel is growing increasingly frustrated with the singles scene and wants a steady man; gorgeous career woman Carmen is fed up with her boyfriend and his wandering eye; meanwhile, eldest daughter Letitia, who has suppressed her own romantic longings, senses something missing in her life. Things take a turn for the romantic when Dad, a widower, meets a vivacious divorcee on the lookout for a mate and each of his daughters, in turn, finds someone. But they’ll all discover that the recipe for happiness may call for some unexpected ingredients. — IMDB

To join me in celebrating Cinco de Mayo are fellow foodies who have brought some Mexican inspired dishes to share at my Foodie Films event!
