Frida's Fiestas by Eric S Trautmann
Lupe Rivera and Marie-Pierre Colle bring Frida and the Blue House in Coyoacan vividly to life. We learn of parakeets chattering in their cages, of the monkey Fulang Chang, of people congregating in the famous tiled kitchen. But most of all, we learn about Frida and how she welcomed people into her home. Frida was an enthusiast, and every occasion was cause for rejoicing. She celebrated birthdays and saints days and baptisms and all the popular holidays. The authors have divided the book into a cycle of twelve fiestas, among them the Posadas (at Christmas), the Day of the Dead, the Mexican national holidays, and a gala celebration called The Meal of the Broad Tablecloths. Included with the reminiscences are more than 100 recipes for the traditional Mexican foods that Diego loved to eat and Frida loved to prepare.
Carol Miller, is an American journalist and sculptor, whose works have been exhibited around the world, including Mexico's Museum of Modern Art.
Guadalupe Rivera is an authority on preColombian culture and daughter to Latin America's most celebrated and controversial painter, Diego Rivera.
