Hostesses Carolina Buia and Isabel González have been
throwing parties with their signature Latin twists for
years, not realizing that this phenomenon was taking hold
across the nation. So the duo packed their bags and decided
to share ten of their parties near and far, in places like
New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, as well as Puerto Rico
and Mexico. With gatherings that range from casual and intimate to full-
blown and formal, Latin Chic gives true inspiration to
party hosts everywhere, no matter what the occasion. Turn a
pool party into a sexy tapas affair featuring shaken
Coconut Martinis and recipes for Asparagus Spears with
Aïoli Caviar Dip and Peruvian Tuna Ceviche. For fresh, healthful fare, look to "Latina Ladies Who
Lunch." Try the Avocado Butter served on Cuban crackers,
Cilantro Soup garnished with almonds, and Guava Coolers and
Virgin Mojitos. And for a truly unforgettable night, you
can't beat a Carnival-themed dance party, complete with
Caipirinhas, Pisco Sours, Brazilian Moqueca, and Passion
Fruit Mousse. But there's more to Latin Chic than just fabulous food.
Carolina and Isabel offer up dozens of tips on decorating,
music, attire, and more. Learn the significance behind many
Latin traditions, from gaucho attire to cigar etiquette. Hundreds of full-color photographs capture the lush,
vibrant spirit of the Latin world, transporting you to polo
match in the Argentine pampa or a romantic seaside dinner
in the Dominican Republic. Each chapter features the
fashions of renowned Latin designers, including Carolina
Herrera to Narciso Rodriguez. Let the parties begin with Latin Chic, and let Carolina
Buia and Isabel González be your hostesses.
