Mexican Christmas Food Combines Codfish and Basque Flavors with Nahuatl Tradition (from Global Voices)

12/19/2015

For many cultures around the world, December is a month that brings with it a series of celebrations, of which Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year stand out in particular.

‘An Autumn Without Berlin’: A 20-something woman returns home in search of redemption in Lara Izagirre’s debut (Hollywood Reporter)

12/18/2015

A captivating central performance and a nuanced air of emotional delicacy are the hallmarks ofAn Autumn Without Berlin, a somewhat chintzy title for an entirely unchintzy debut. Signaling its director, Lara Izagirre, as a name to watch in the sadly limited pantheon of Spanish women directors, Autumn traces the complicated return of a young woman to her birthplace with subtlety and careful eye on the emotional truth, eschewing the easy dramatics and sentimentality that it could easily have fallen prey to. Fest play would be merited for the best debut from a woman director that Spain has produced in 2015.

Book review: Mark Kurlansky's Basque History of the World (blog Indecisive Obsessive)

12/16/2015

The first and (for now) only in-depth text I’ve read about the Basque people, but it will certainly not be the last! I had heard about a mysterious people somewhere in northern Spain who maintain their solidarity, their culture and their strange language. Now Mark Kurlansky has introduced me to unusual and exciting dishes, traditions and a history both extensive and incredibly active.
